Tanja Stadler is visiting this week and we will have her as special guest to the journal club. She has chosen for the discussion two of her recent papers that focus on subjects that have raised a lot of interest in the past few meetings: the fossilized birth-death model for fossil calibration and effects of gene tree discordance on tree shapes:
Stadler, T., Degnan, J.H., Rosenberg, N.A. 2016. Does gene tree discordance explain the mismatch between macroevolutionary models and empirical patterns of tree shape and branching times? Systematic Biology
Zhang, C., Stadler, T., Klopfstein, S., … Ronquist, F. 2016. Total-Evidence Dating under the Fossilized Birth–Death Process. Systematic Biology, 65(2):228–249.
We will meet Friday April 27 at 11am in the seminar room of MCZ labs 4th floor.
Please notice the slightly different meeting time due to the G4 symposium this week.
