=== Topics ===
Unless there is loud objection, the theme this semester will be '''Tree Thinking'''. David Baum (Univ. Wisconsin, Madison) is writing a book on Tree Thinking and has agreed to let us read the chapters he has written in return for some constructive criticism. Baum's book will be supplemented with some thought-provoking and heated-debate-generating papers on subjects such as these:

* can you ever say that a clade is basal?

* do non-uniform clade priors make sense?
+
* what can and can't fossils say about node age

* when gene trees and species trees are both right, but different

* the signature of an adaptive radiation
