Three new Cenomanian conifers from El Chango (Chiapas, Mexico) offer a snapshot of the geographic mosaic of the Mesozoic conifer decline

The paper describes three new Cenomanian conifer species from El Chango, Mexico, providing insights into the geographic and ecological dynamics of conifer decline during the Mesozoic.

Diversification models conflate likelihood and prior, and cannot be compared using conventional model-comparison tools

The paper shows that diversification models conflate likelihood and prior, making them incompatible with standard model-comparison tools.

Inferring the evolutionary reduction of corm lobation in Isoëtes using Bayesian model-averaged ancestral state reconstruction

The paper uses Bayesian model-averaged ancestral state reconstruction to infer evolutionary reduction in corm lobation in Isoetes, finding directional reduction and multiple reductions to two lobes.
