Hey Botany! Come see my talk investigating whether polyploids have different patterns of flower evolution than diploids on Weds at 8:15am in San Xavier. Over 100 undergrads participated in this research! :) #PUIFTW #Botany2026 #PlantPeopleFTW

Avocados come in 2 varieties - A-types start each day female and switch to male midday. B-types do the reverse. In work just published from the last chapter of my PhD, we show this system evolved 40+million yrs ago and is regulated by alleles of 1 transcription factor www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Balanced polymorphism in a floral transcription factor underlies the ancient rhythm of daily sex alternation in avocado | PNAS

In avocado and certain wild relatives in Lauraceae, a highly synchronized daily rhythm of floral sex timing promotes cross-pollination between two ...

Did you know that the flowers of avocado trees change sex every day? Scientists have noticed this nearly 100 years ago but only now do we how it works. Life is amazing.

Avocado flowers switch sex daily—now we know why

New work explains how avocado trees coordinate a complex reproductive strategy, switching every day between male and female

Do you like Arabidopsis thaliana? Do you like linked selection? Are you at #PEQG26? Well you're in luck! Come by my poster 244W tonight, June 10th, and hear about my attempts to estimate the extent of linked selection in Arabidopsis thaliana evolution experiments.

Excited to be at #PEQG26! I have a poster tonight on measuring selection on intraspecies variation in large microbial communities (415W), would love to hear what folks think!

How do plants locally adapt to challenging habitats despite ongoing gene flow? Come find me tomorrow at poster 236W to chat about life history divergence on small spatial scales in the yellow monkeyflower! #PEQG26

My poster number is 375! Ohh, looking forward to checking that out!!

Having a great first experience at #PEQG26 ! So many cool projects and friendly people. Come visit me at my poster tomorrow to talk about TEs and SVs!

I am recruiting a #postdoc to work on assembling and analyzing #genomes of the amazing Furnariidae. Let’s unlock the secret behind their #evolution. The official application portal will be available soon at www.uno.edu/careers. Feel free to contact me for details at sclaramu@uno.edu

Plant Science Research Weekly --  Can plants adapt quickly enough to keep up with climate change? (Science) @mexpositoalonso.bsky.social @bossdorf.bsky.social @carlos-lara0.bsky.social (Summary by Adrian Gonzalez Ortega Bluesky: @adrigov.bsky.social) buff.ly/P2kiysF #PlantaePSRW

Excited to share our new preprint! 🍇🧬 We analyzed 639 genomes across 48 grape species to understand how hybridization drives adaptation. • ~14% of average Vitis genome is introgressed • Most parallel adaptations are shared via gene flow • Two "hybrid species" are actually hybrid swarms

I am seeking a postdoc to join my group at UCLA -- ideally the candidate would have some experience in either population genetics or microbes/microbiome (computational background needed). We have a range of projects and are happy to tailer to your interests. Please dm/email me if interested.
