Paleonet: Special feature at Methods in Ecology and Evolution on Fossils and Phylogenies

[Slater, Graham]

Dear PaleoNet subscribers,

I'm writing to promote this month's issue of Methods in Ecology and Evolution, which is now online and contains a special feature edited by Luke Harmon and I, titled "Unifying fossils and phylogenies for comparative analyses of diversification and trait evolution". The feature contains original articles by Peter Wagner, Gene Hunt, Dave Bapst, Tom Ezard and myself, all of which aim to provide ways of integrating paleontological information into phylogenetic and comparative analyses or highlight what can be done when performing comparative analyses using phylogenies containing fossil species. I think many PaleoNet subscribers will find the articles of interest.

The issue is available here: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/mee3.2013.4.issue-8/issuetoc. I'm also happy to provide pdfs to anyone unable to access them on request (let me know which ones you want).

Cheers,

Graham
