If you are not familiar with it, PearTree is the replacement for the increasingly creaking FigTree phylogenetic tree viewer. Available as a desktop app and a webapp (which can be embedded in other sites). github.com/artic-networ... for more details.

There is even a manual: peartree.live/manual

New study out 👍

This one was not backed up by a specific grant (so no UCEs or WG involved), but it still brings new insights about the emblematic #Cerambyx genus. Importantly, it was also published in a 💎 #OA #Society_Journal currently spearheaded by @toussaintlab.bsky.social

APG V, the 5th community-based classification of flowering #plants, is now available!
This revision of the APG #classification marks a shift from mainly #plastid-based classification to nuclear-#genome-informed #systematics.

Want to conserve #birds, #mammals and other vertebrates? Then don’t forget their #insects. Our new Nature Reviews Biodiversity paper explores the many ways vertebrates depend on insects — for food, shelter, protection and much more. I’ve written about it here: jeffollerton.co.uk/2026/09/30/w...

I am hiring a postdoc! Are you interested to work on population genetics/ drug resistance/ data? Want to work in Montpellier, France? Fastq files don't scare you?

PhD required, start date hopefully Nov 1! (end date Sep 30 2028)

Please share!
