We've agreed to start the semester with some articles on molecular dating, then spend a couple of weeks on taxonomy papers, and possibly read a revised version of David Baum's tree thinking book. Papers will be posted shortly. If you are interested in leading a particular week's discussion, please sign up below.

Since cichlids came up last week, it may be fun to read a cichlid RAD-seq paper:
