Bayesian analysis of biogeography when the number of areas is large

MJ Landis, NJ Matzke, BR Moore… - Systematic …, 2013 - academic.oup.com
Historical biogeography is increasingly studied from an explicitly statistical perspective, using
stochastic models to describe the evolution of species range as a continuous-time Markov …

Pulsed evolution shaped modern vertebrate body sizes

MJ Landis, JG Schraiber - Proceedings of the National …, 2017 - National Acad Sciences
The relative importance of different modes of evolution in shaping phenotypic diversity
remains a hotly debated question. Fossil data suggest that stasis may be a common mode of …

Cophylogenetic methods to untangle the evolutionary history of ecological interactions

…, DH Hembry, TA Heath, MJ Landis - Annual Review of …, 2022 - annualreviews.org
Myriad branches in the tree of life are intertwined through ecological relationships.
Biologists have long hypothesized that intimate symbioses between lineages can influence …

Modeling phylogenetic biome shifts on a planet with a past

M Landis, EJ Edwards, MJ Donoghue - Systematic biology, 2021 - academic.oup.com
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 …

Interdependent phenotypic and biogeographic evolution driven by biotic interactions

I Quintero, MJ Landis - Systematic biology, 2020 - academic.oup.com
Biotic interactions are hypothesized to be one of the main processes shaping trait and
biogeographic evolution during lineage diversification. Theoretical and empirical evidence …

RevBayes: Bayesian phylogenetic inference using graphical models and an interactive model-specification language

S Höhna, MJ Landis, TA Heath, B Boussau… - Systematic …, 2016 - academic.oup.com
Programs for Bayesian inference of phylogeny currently implement a unique and fixed suite
of models. Consequently, users of these software packages are simultaneously forced to …
