However, how and why speciation rates vary within and between clades and biogeographic regions remains an open question. Many studies have tested for links between putative microevolutionary (subspecific) controls and macroevolutionary (superspecific) phenomena (e.g., speciation rates), but due to the noisiness of these biological data, have been unable to reach any consensus on speciation rate-limiting controls. In particular, variability in the taxonomic resolution of tip-level units\u2014including over- and under-splitting\u2014can potentially influence estimated rates of speciation, the consequences of which have not been rigorously explored. Given that geographic isolation provides only ambiguous evidence for reproductive isolation, the taxonomic treatment of allopatric forms has been inconsistent across clades, thus raising questions as to the comparability of our phylogenetic tip-level units. Using sympatry among close relatives as a heuristic for speciation completion, I will assess the impact of collapsing allopatric sibling species on macroevolutionary speciation rates in scaled reptiles (Order Squamata). I will then briefly describe my plans to investigate the ecophylogenetic limits to sympatry among squamates by modeling clade-level transitions from allopatry. I will also discuss leveraging higher-resolution ecological and distribution data from one North American snake tribe (Colubridae: Natricinae: Thamnophiini) to interrogate the robustness of these results. Finally, I propose to characterize the range-wide genomic structure of several species groups within Thamnophiini to explore extrinsic and intrinsic factors modulating species cohesion across heterogeneous environments and spatial scales.", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"127262-21858753@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/127262", "building_id":"1005169", "building_name":"Biological Sciences Building", "campus_maps_id":"631", "room":"1010", "location_name":"Biological Sciences Building", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["seminar","Science","Natural Sciences","Graduate Students","Graduate","Free","evolutionary biology","eeb","Ecology And Evolutionary Biology","Ecology & Biology","Ecology","Biology"], "website":"", "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Ecology and Evolutionary Biology", "group_id":"1190", "website":"" }, { "group_name":"EEB Tuesday Lunch Seminars", "group_id":"3823", "website":"" } ], "image_url":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/attachments\/2024\/10\/event_127262_original-1.jpeg", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2024\/10\/event_127262_original-1.jpeg", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2024\/10\/event_127262_original-1.jpeg", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2024\/10\/event_127262_original-1.jpeg", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2024\/10\/event_127262_original-1.jpeg", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2024\/10\/event_127262_original-1.jpeg", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2024\/10\/event_127262_original-1.jpeg", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2024\/10\/event_127262_original-1.jpeg", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2024\/10\/event_127262_original-1.jpeg", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2024\/10\/event_127262_original-1.jpeg", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2024\/10\/event_127262_original-1.jpeg", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2024\/10\/event_127262_original-1.jpeg", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2024\/10\/event_127262_original-1.jpeg", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2024\/10\/event_127262_original-1.jpeg", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2024\/10\/event_127262_original-1.jpeg", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2024\/10\/event_127262_original-1.jpeg" }, "occurrence_count":1, "first_occurrence":21858753 } , "125887-21856244": { "datetime_modified":"20240905T181553", "datetime_start":"20241008T120000", "datetime_end":"20241008T133000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2024-10-08", "date_end":"2024-10-08", "time_start":"12:00:00", "time_end":"13:30:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"Faculty Allies for Diversity Welcome Event", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"Faculty Allies for Diversity Welcome Event", "event_subtitle":"", "event_type":"Workshop \/ Seminar", "event_type_id":"21", "description":"\n\n\n\n\n\nConnect with other Faculty Allies over lunch and learn more about the process Rackham will be using to review the Faculty Allies Program.\nRegistration is required at https:\/\/myumi.ch\/W51Zw.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWe want to ensure full and equitable participation in our events.
