So excited to share our recent @newphyt.bsky.social#evolution#mimulus#leaf#droughtnph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...
Characterizing physiological and anatomical changes that underlie rapid evolution following climatic perturbation can broaden our understanding of how climate change is affecting biodiversity. It ca.....
The Edwards lab (edwardslab.org) is looking for a new post-doctoral research associate to work on the phylogenomics of Montiaceae, a really cool group of plants 🤩 Details below

Thank you Jenn 😊
Either way, I hope you're convinced Oleaceae is a really fascinating clade to study the evolution of self-incompatibility systems. Looking forward to seeing what people will discover in the future!
OR distyly evolved multiple times in the family, its evolution being facilitated by the use of this ancestrally duplicated region. After all, there seems to be a high level of convergence in this trait among flowering plants, why not within the family? 🤔
Thank you Tanja! And thank you again for the discussion during my defense, that definitely helped me carry on with this project!
