As you can see I'm channeling my inner @kurzgesagt.org duck today, hoping this will make my explanations of the complex simulation setup clear and concise 😅

Geological information improves phylogenetic inference 🥳
Excited to present our work on the interactions of #stratigraphy, #paleontology, and #phylogenetics at #ESEB25, poster board 312

Registration deadline for the field trip is 15th of March - register now!

Incorporation of stratigraphic biases is work in progress, so stay posted 😁

🚨R package StratPal update🚨
Full integration with the FossilSim package to study effects of #taphonomy and #ecology on #phylogenetic trees with sampled ancestors, and simplified handling of categorical niche models 😁
#stratigraphy

We got a full program with workshops on age-depth modeling, fair coding and data, and forward modeling, exciting keynotes covering a range of timescales and environments, and an field trip to the Devonian and Carboniferous of Belgium on the 28th and 29th!

Interested in #reproducibility, #methodology and #uncertainty reporting in #stratigraphy?

Excited to announce the CycloNet meeting 2025 in Utrecht 😁, bringing together cyclostratigraphers and researchers from adjacent fields to discuss methodology, uncertainty, and reproducibility

CycloNet meeting Utrecht The aim of this meeting is to discuss reproducibility, reporting, and methodology in cyclostratigraphy.
