Some recent papers by Remco R. Bouckaert demonstrate interdisciplinary connections between linguistics and genetic or evolutionary studies:

Triangulation supports agricultural spread of the Transeurasian languages, 2021, Nature
Adaptive dating and fast proposals: Revisiting the phylogenetic relaxed clock model, 2021, PLoS Computational Biology
Language trees with sampled ancestors support a hybrid model for the origin of Indo-European languages, 2023, Science
Phylogeographic analysis of the Bantu language expansion supports a rainforest route, 2022, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
StarBeast3: Adaptive Parallelized Bayesian Inference under the Multispecies Coalescent, 2022, Systematic Biology

The frequent co-authors collaborating with Bouckaert include Jordan Douglas, Peter R. Wills, Alexei J. Drummond, Cinthy L. Jiménez-Silva, and Charles W. Carter. Their publication record shows ongoing partnerships with these researchers across multiple projects.

Publication venues where Bouckaert has frequently appeared include:

bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)
Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research)
Systematic Biology
Research Square (Research Square)
PLoS Computational Biology

Their research integrates approaches from genetics and linguistics, reflecting in studies that combine phylogenetic methods with language evolution and cultural diffusion. This interdisciplinary emphasis is expressed through works that bridge genetic data analysis and language trait modeling, contributing to understanding human population history and language spread mechanisms.
