Our new pre-print (with @erichagen.bsky.social, @latinorchidbot.bsky.social, @jameswclark.bsky.social , Elizabeth Forward and Nick Priest) reveals rapid pollinator evolution in orchids, but no clear impact on diversification. Perhaps pollinator specialisation is not such a powerful force. 🐝🌱

Frequent shifts in pollination strategy are decoupled from diversification in the terrestrial orchids doi.org/10.32942/X21...

Phylogenetic distribution of pollinator attraction strategies in Orchidoideae.

🚨New #phylo paper alert!🚨 🌲+🔥= speciation? This one has been a bit of a journey, but thanks to lead author Dan Turck's expertise on #conifers it has turned out as quite the treasure-trove of conifer evolution! (reading-access link on my website)
