DESCRIPTION:Special seminar by Jessica Gillung\, PhD\, Department of Entomo
 logy\, Cornell University\n\nEvolutionary biologists strive to understand 
 the patterns that have shaped life in our planet and the processes that cr
 eate and maintain biodiversity. Central to this scientific inquiry\, thus\
 , are phylogenies. The recently developed 'omics' approaches give us the p
 ossibility to pursue new avenues in biodiversity research and the privileg
 e to revisit the Tree of Life using data that was previously unavailable. 
 However\, not all parts of the genome are equally useful for reliable phyl
 ogenetic inference\, and we now require new statistical approaches to iden
 tify genomic regions that we can adequately model and to develop rigorous 
 protocols for robust estimation of phylogeny. In this presentation I will:
  1) present my research in insect diversity and evolution\, 2) discuss som
 e of the pitfalls of the currently established phylogenomic pipeline\, and
  3) introduce my future integrative research synthesizing traditionally di
 sparate data sources\, including genomics\, natural history\, morphology\,
  distribution\, and paleontology.\n	 \n\nEVERYONE IS WELCOME TO ATTEND\n
