Rudimenthos: Revisiòn Darwin, Metagenòmica y la "Nueva Ecologìa"
.....
Éste es una breve revisión de metagenómcia y sus recientes avances en metagenómica y la aplicación de las herramientas de la biología molecular a la ecología. A nuestro entender, los enfoques metagenómicos representan una culminación del legado de Darwin como la aproximación al mundo natural visualizando individualmente a los organismos como el producto de su historia evolutiva delineada por su funcionamiento e interacción con su entorno abiótico y con otros organismos.

PhyloSeminar anuncia: Philippe Lemey speaking on Phylogenetic diffusion models
The next speaker will be Philippe Lemey speaking Friday, July 16
at noon PDT on "Phylogenetic diffusion models and their applications
in viral epidemiology."
Emerging infectious diseases continue to appear all over the world,
and importantly, they have also risen significantly over time after.
Having the potential to quickly adapt to new hosts and environments,
RNA viruses are prime candidates to emerge as global threats to human
health. Their rapid rate of evolution, however, also turns viral
genomes into valuable resources to reconstruct the spatial and
temporal processes that are shaping epidemic or endemic dynamics. In
this seminar, I will highlight recent developments in phylogenetic
diffusion models that tie together sequence evolution and geographic
history in a coherent statistical framework. Both discrete and
continuous phylogeographic models have recently been implemented in a
Bayesian statistical approach. I will position this approach among
other popular phylogeographic methods, and then focus on applications
in viral molecular epidemiology to demonstrate their use. Finally, I
will hint at future extensions that may provide entirely new
opportunities for phylogeographic hypothesis testing.
I hope you will be able to attend this exciting talk.

Nueva revista sobre Mastozoologia: Therya
La Asoc. Mex. de Mastozoologia ha lanzado THERYA, una nueva revista que pretende dar salida a la publicación de artículos sobre todos los aspectos de los mamíferos.
El contenido del primer número puede ser consultado en línea en:
http://www.mastozoologiamexicana.org/therya.php
Los artículos de este primer numero no son ni taxonómicos ni filogenéticos. Pero estemos pendientes de los próximos números y veremos si esta revista publica investigación filogenética.
