The number and pattern of viral genomic reassortments are not necessarily identifiable from segment trees

This paper shows that reassortment events in segmented viruses cannot be reliably inferred from segment trees alone, even with perfect data.

Inferring viral transmission time from phylogenies for known transmission pairs

This paper develops a Markov model to infer HIV transmission times from phylogenies and finds it provides accurate and narrower estimates compared to existing methods.

adequaSSE: Model Adequacy Testing for Trait-Dependent Diversification Models

This paper introduces a Bayesian method to assess the adequacy of trait-dependent diversification models by generating posterior predictive distributions for test statistics.

INTERACTION BETWEEN PLOIDY, BREEDING SYSTEM, AND LINEAGE DIVERSIFICATION

The paper examines how ploidy and breeding system influence diversification rates in Solanaceae, finding that ploidy's effect is largely explained by its correlation with breeding system.

Diversification or collapse of self-incompatibility haplotypes as a rescue process

The paper models the dynamics of self-incompatibility haplotypes in angiosperms, showing how new haplotypes can increase or decrease in number based on gene conversion rates and population size.

Memory in trait macroevolution

This paper introduces models of trait evolution that account for memory effects, showing how trait duration influences future evolutionary transitions.
