A test statistic to quantify treelikeness in phylogenetics
Published in bioRxiv, 2021
To quantify and test for treelikeness in alignments, we develop and assess a test statistic to quantify treelikeness, which we call the tree proportion.

Evolving thermal thresholds explain the distribution of temperature sex reversal in an Australian dragon lizard
Published in Diversity and Distributions, 2021
Species with temperature-dependent sex determination (TSD) are particularly vulnerable to climate change because a resultant skew in population sex ratio can have severe demographic consequences and increase vulnerability to local extinction. […] Our study demonstrates that complex evolutionary processes need to be incorporated into modelling biological responses to future climate scenarios.

MAST: Phylogenetic inference with mixtures across sites and trees
Published in Systematic Biology, 2024
We introduce an implementation of a multi-tree mixture model that we call mixtures across sites and trees (MAST). […] The MAST model allows each tree to have its own weight, topology, branch lengths, substitution model, nucleotide or amino acid frequencies, and model of rate heterogeneity across sites.

Systematic bias in phylogenetic methods: investigating the adequacy of the treelikeness assumption
Published in ANU Open Research Repository, 2024
This thesis shows the diverse impacts of the treelikeness assumption on phylogenetic inference and suggest that treelikeness should be considered during phylogenetic tree inference.
