We’re recruiting for a #PhD opportunity funded by NERC Envision DTP, investigating the impact of climate change on chytrid disease dynamics in Appalachian salamanders.

🌴Our new paper just came out! We show that the Cape Verde date palm is actually a feral form of date palm, with interesting implications for conservation and breeding of drought resistant varieties. Read more: nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/…

How do salt-tolerant plants adapt to heavy metal pollution? Rapid parallel adaptation in Silene uniflora (sea campion).

So happy to see our paper featured on the cover (designed by yours truly☺️) of @MolBioEvol! 🌿The artwork shows the multi-faceted aspects of #coca discussed in our study, from #cocaine, leaf shapes, to its tradition & value for #indigenous ppl. Pls share!

I'll be giving a talk tomorrow at virtual @evol_mtg about our quest to describe the major reproductive strategies of 🌸🌴angiosperms🌿🌻at 15:45 CEST / 9:45 EDT in the "Macroevolution & Ecology" session - if you are attending hope to see you there!

Check out our two new papers in Nature Communications! Based on a two years evolution experiment they show how bee pollination and aphid herbivory interact with soil type to promote divergent evolution rdcu.be/dCFSp and local adaptation rdcu.be/dLanU in plants

Great to see this work led by @OwenGOsborne @Carlybacter out! What shapes salamander skin microbiomes? 🦠 Find out 👇
Appalachian salamanders are beautiful! We show #salamanders pick up the bacteria on their skin from the environment in a species-specific way & this salamander-bacteria #phylosymbiosis relationship explains, in part, how susceptible they are to a pathogen

Can we still detect #extinct #megafrugivores' seed dispersal legacy in Malagasy palms' genetics? Yes! However, current frugivores only affect small-fruited palm connectivity, highlighting the crucial role of large frugivores in large-fruited plants' dispersal @RenskeOnstein @idiv
Species interactions from 1000+yrs ago still shape genetics today. The legacy of extinct #megafrugivores🐒, achieving long seed dispersal, is reflected in the population genetics of Malagasy #palms formerly dispersed by such animals

Happy to share this work led by @peterdfields to produce a chromosome-level assembly for the angiosperm Silene conica. Hoping this will be a valuable resource to the Silene research community.

Is this a tiny alien? Nope! It's a non-photosynthetic plant that derives nutrition from fungi & part of a fascinating lineage that we recently described as a new family, Afrothismiaceae, with @DrMartinCheek, Sean Graham & Paula Rudall biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… Photo by @VMerckx
