Pleased to say that the final chapter of my PhD is out today in Nature Ecology and Evolution: www.nature.com/articles/s41... My favourite bit of science that I've done to date. If you enjoy biogeography, weird reptiles, and the TARDIS, then have a read!

Landscape-explicit phylogeography illuminates the ecographic radiation of early archosauromorph reptiles - Nature Ecology & Evolution

Using a newly developed spatiotemporal phylogeographic path analysis method combined with phylogenetic niche modelling, the authors estimate clade-wide dispersal maps spanning the early Permian to end...
