Wrack enhancement of post-hurricane vegetation and geomorphological recovery in a coastal dune

This study shows that removing storm wrack after a hurricane reduces grass cover and dune elevation, suggesting wrack enhances coastal dune recovery.

ModelRevelator: Fast phylogenetic model estimation via deep learning

ModelRevelator uses deep learning to select phylogenetic models from multiple-sequence-alignments, avoiding computationally expensive likelihood-based methods.

Distinguishing Felsenstein zone from Farris zone using neural networks

This paper uses neural networks to distinguish between long-branch attraction and repulsion in four-taxon alignments, improving tree reconstruction accuracy by selecting optimal methods.

GHOST: Recovering Historical Signal from Heterotachously-evolved Sequence Alignments

The paper introduces the GHOST model to improve phylogenetic inference from heterotachously-evolved sequences, showing it accurately recovers tree topologies and provides new insights into historical signals in empirical data.
