Modeling phylogenetic biome shifts on a planet with a past [NEW RESULTS]: The spatial distribution of biomes has changed considerably over deep time, so the geographical opportunity for an evolutionary lineage to shift into a new biome may depend on how the availability and connectivity of biomes has varied temporally. To better understand how lineages shift between biomes in space and time, we developed a phylogenetic biome shift model in which each lineage shifts between biomes and disperses between...
Emergence and diversification of a highly invasive chestnut pathogen lineage across south-eastern Europe [NEW RESULTS]: Invasive microbial species constitute a major threat to biodiversity, agricultural production and human health. Invasions are often dominated by one or a small number of genotypes, yet the underlying factors driving invasions are poorly understood. The chestnut blight fungus Cryphonectria parasitica first decimated the American chestnut and a recent outbreak threatens European chestnut...

What's in a synonym? A nose by any other name would smell: ABSTRACTCommunication in the biomedical sciences and clinical practice would be clearer if everyone used the same set of technical terms. Creation of technical vocabularies, such as international standard terminologies, are attempts to avoid common linguistic problems, such as synonymy (many names for a single entity) and polysemy (many meanings for a single term). Efforts made in human anatomy since the late 19th century to deal with these...
