Immagino che il prossimo passo di #Trump sarà bandire tutte le pubblicazioni scientifiche che riportano i termini #phylogeny #phylogenetic #evolution e #evolutionary
E magari dare foco a tutte le scuole intitolate a quell'eretico di Charles Darwin

I wish I could get a large enough print of this that I could actually read it. It's a phylogeny of flowering plants along with examples of typical flowers from each genus. Mind blown. #NativePlants #Phylogeny
Uhhhhh holy shit no one told me _Dolomedes_ & co. got moved from Pisauridae to their own family, Dolomedidae? https://wsc.nmbe.ch/family/158/Dolomedidae

Marveling about this beautiful #wasp #phylogeny visualization from the great book "Wasps" by Eric R. Eaton. I'd so love to have that (with timeline approximations) for EVERY taxon.
La phylogénie moléculaire, en plus de révéler les relations évolutives entre espèces, souches, etc..., est un formidable outil pour comprendre les dynamiques d'adaptations des pathogènes
@dantheclamman Naked (kind-of) shell-less clams with an agile foot read like a proto-cephalopod. Are they close at all to the phylogenetic branch that took off with squids, octopus and cuttlefish, or is "cephalopodness" a trait that can re-evolve from an ancestral clam base?

On the surface, this looks like #cladistic nitpicking, but in reality it is a revolution in the tree of life. Because they lack neuromuscular cells, sponges were classically presented as the sister group to all metazoans. But the sister group could well be the ctenophores, which leads to two scenarios: either several independent evolutions of neuromuscular cells, or a deletion in the sponges.
