Dechronization
Dechronization is authored by evolutionary biologists who are particularly interested in the development and application of methods for estimating phylogeny and making phylogeny-based inferences. The goal of the blog is to provide a forum for discussion of the latest research and methods, while also providing interesting phylogenetic anecdotes and tidbits of natural history. Our blog's title is cribbed from a novella about time travel written by George Gaylord Simpson.
