Body

Hosted by the Centre for Biodiversity Analysis, TEA Talks are talks and short workshops that introduce a range of current methods and analytical approaches in phylogenetics, bioinformatics and macroevolution.

The CBA developed the TEA Talks series to complement ANU's Research School of Biology's Techniques in Computational genomics (TIC) meetings.

TEA Talks are targeted at evolutionary biologists and ecologists (students and researchers) who want to improve their understanding in emerging concepts and techniques in evolutionary analysis.

Topics

  • Molecular phylogenetic inference
  • Tree and network thinking
  • Macroevolutionary inferences from phylogenies
  • Spatial and biogeographic models
  • eDNA and metagenomics
  • Population genomics/adaptation
  • Trait evolution and comparative methods
  • Museum/herbarium genomics

If you are interested in presenting (or co-presenting) a TEA Talk, either by contributing to the current topic list or a new a topic suggestion, please get in touch.

If the genomic era has solidified one enduring lesson in phylogenetics, it is that genes have different stories to tell - sometimes very different stories.

Genome-scale data have recently become the standard in phylogenetic studies and has been made possible through methodological advances such as Anchored Hybrid Enrichment (AHE), which leverages limited genomic resources to enable data collection in many related non-model systems.

Lots of people want to estimate phylogenies. Lots of people like their estimates, and think that they are robust.
