Estimating Divergence Times and Diversification Rates with the Unresolved Fossilized Birth-Death Process

The paper corrects an overcounting issue in the unresolved FBD model for tip-dating and demonstrates its application to empirical datasets.

A hierarchical Bayesian framework accommodates intraspecific and interspecific variation in multivariate traits

The paper introduces a hierarchical Bayesian framework to estimate taxon-specific intraspecific covariance structures and evolutionary processes for multivariate traits, showing improved uniformity in evolutionary rate estimates across the great ape clade.

Principal Components Analysis fails to recover phylogenetic structure in hominins

This paper shows that PCA fails to recover phylogenetic structure in hominin datasets, highlighting flaws in using PCA for phylogenetic inference.

Parallel power posterior analyses for fast computation of marginal likelihoods in phylogenetics

The paper introduces a parallelization strategy to speed up marginal likelihood estimation in Bayesian phylogenetics, reducing runtime significantly with multiple CPUs.
