Unlocking a flexible set of phylogenetic models for discrete and continuous trait evolution using discretized stochastic diffusion

The paper introduces a discretized stochastic diffusion approach to model discrete and continuous trait evolution in phylogenetics, exploring multiple new models and their applications.

SSARP: An R Package for Easily Creating Species- and Speciation- Area Relationships Using Web Databases

SSARP is an R package that simplifies creating species-area and speciation-area relationships by integrating data from web databases and providing regression tools.

Is Evolution Predictable? Experiments in an Evolutionary Video Game

The paper uses an evolutionary video game to test if evolution is predictable, finding that fitness landscapes change unpredictably, leading to diverse and non-convergent enemy traits.

Mapping nonhuman cultures with the Animal Culture Database

The paper introduces the Animal Culture Database, a resource documenting 128 culturally transmitted behaviors across 61 species to aid conservation and research.
