The paper uses phyloGWAS to link genotypes to longevity in Sebastes rockfishes despite high genealogical discordance, identifying variants associated with longevity.

This paper introduces Spinney, a method that estimates quantitative trait evolution rates by considering gene tree discordance, improving accuracy over species-tree-only approaches.

The paper re-evaluates evidence for Muller's ratchet in mitochondrial genomes using three species pairs, finding strong selection in mtDNA and no ratchet-like mutation accumulation.

The paper introduces an updated site concordance factor method that reduces homoplasy and taxon sampling effects using likelihood-based ancestral state probabilities.
