This seminar will be split between class meetings that emphasize phylogenetic underpinnings, tree comparisons, and reconciliation methods, with those focused on the evolutionary processes underlying co-evolutionary phenomena (as well as the forces and circumstances that, more often than not, prevent it from occurring). And while parasites will figure large in our readings and discussions, we will also explore insect-plant co-evolution, endosymbionts and other mutualisms, mimicry, and others.  
This semester we will focus on speciation and hybridization, then transition into phylogeography/ historical biogeography. Random papers/ themes, however, are welcomed.

We will continue talking about Dispersal-Extinction-Cladogesis (DEC) model this week. In 2005, Ree et al. proposed the initial version of DEC although this approach was not named at that time. In 2008, Ree and Smith developed it and published a paper in Sys. Bio., which might be thought as the second version. The paper we will read is about the third version of DEC, likelihood with fossil, and they call it DEC*.

Meeting time and place

For the Spring 2015 semester, we are meeting in the Bamford Room (TLS 171B) Day/time TBD

Topics

This seminar will be split between class meetings that emphasize phylogenetic underpinnings, tree comparisons, and reconciliation methods, with those focused on the evolutionary processes underlying co-evolutionary phenomena (as well as the forces and circumstances that, more often than not, prevent it from occurring). And while parasites will figure large in our readings and discussions, we will also explore insect-plant co-evolution, endosymbionts and other mutualisms, mimicry, and others.

Tuesday, 20 January 2015

At this meeting we will discuss possible themes for this semester's seminar, and determine the meeting time
