Excited to share work on a new phylogenetic biome shift model! Model lets species gain and lose enabled (fundamental) and established (realized) biome affinities through historical events A joy to work w/ the intrepid Sean McHugh and Michael Donoghue www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...#evolution
Ahhh I’m actually letting myself plan a sabbatical!!! Fall 2025 can’t come soon enough 😄. 🇨🇴🌿☕️
"As botanists drop a racist plant name, some fear scientific confusion" www.nytimes.com/2024/08/01/s... Meanwhile, for the Maerua genus shown as an example: 167 species in CoL 179 species in IPNI 74 species in Kew It's not like taxonomy was wonderfully clear; now, slightly less racist. Good.
The International Botanical Congress voted to change a scientific name belonging to hundreds of plant species because it was offensive in southern Africa.
