Tiley Lab - Plant Evolution

Polyploidy across populations, species, and communities

Teaching

Teaching materials are typically hosted through GitHub in order to make them accessible to students and reusable for the scientific community. A new class, Plant Evolution, will be made available in Fall of 2026.

Classes

Plant Evolutionary Biology

Fundamentals of plant evolution. Population genetic processes, speciation, and macroevolution. A survey of contempoary big questions in the plant evolution literature too. Find the class here.

Evolutionary Genomics

This class is now a bit outdated from 2021 and will be subsumed by the more recent plant evolution course, but class site can still be accessed here.

Workshops

UK Botanic Garden 2023 Workshops Methodological Advances in Reticulate Evolution

Based on interest in the Botany workshop, it was determined that there was a need for more training in phylogenetic networks, with more content, delivered directly to botanists. A three-day workshop covering coalescent theory and phylogenetic network methods is being hosted by the Royal Botanic Gardens Kew and the Royal Botanic Gardens Edinburgh on 8 to 10 November and 14 to 16 November 2024. The website and instructional materials are found here.

Botany 2023 Workshop Methodological Advances in Reticulate Evolution

A collaborative workshop on phylogenetic network estimation delivered over a full day at the Botany 2023 conference. The organization site is linked here to provide access to materials across instructors.

DBEV Phylogenomics Workshop 2022 Introduction to Phylogenomics

Three-day practical phylogenomics workshop hosted by the University of Antananarivo Department of Biology and Plant Ecology. Slides and labs will be accessible here.
