But before, shoutout to @MaurstadMarius who shares first-authorship w/ me, after teaching himself Unix as an undergraduate🧐- impressive!
This paper begins with this dataset on marine ghost-worms ( peerj.com/articles/10896/ ).
We had >90% missing data across the dataset, results that were impossible to make sense from (PCA/trees), and issues just getting a reasonably high number of high-quality variants...

Our paper <Marine connectivity dynamics: clarifying cosmopolitan distributions of marine interstitial invertebrates and the meiofauna paradox> is out in @Mar_Biology 😁
1/n Here's a summary of what we found and discussed (and a personal significance at the end):
* We did a literature survey and analyzed 700+ contributions
* Despite including keywords such as 'molecular OR cryptic OR ... dispersal OR phylo* OR biogeo* OR distribut*' only 7 contributions (>1%) focused on evolutionary biology!
