Data from the "Back to the water" project

Data from papers published as part of Leverhulme Trust Research Project Grant (RPG-2019-323): Back to the water: macroevolutionary dynamics of secondarily aquatic tetrapods.

These data have been used in two papers.

Paper 1: Burin, G., Park, T., James, T.D, Slater, G.J. & Cooper, N. 2023. The dynamic adaptive landscape of cetacean body size. Current Biology, 33, 1787–1794. DOI: 10.1016/j.cub.2023.03.014.

See README_PAPER1.md and https://github.com/gburin/bodysize-evolution-cetacea for more details.

Paper 2: Park, T., Burin, G., Lazo-Cancino, D., Rees, J.P.G., Rule, J.P., Slater, G.J., Cooper, N. 2024. Charting the course of pinniped evolution: insights from molecular phylogeny and fossil record integration. Evolution, 78, 1212-1226. DOI: 10.1093/evolut/qpae061.
