Happy to share out latest work in Ecology Letters! We show how how genetic differences in plasticity determine fitness at different environmental scales from native to novel elevations. @jonbridle.bsky.social @jameswclark.bsky.social Many thanks to the reviewers! doi.org/10.1111/ele....

If you're interested in biodiversity in freshwater ecosystems, there's just a few days to apply for our PhD project: Ecological Surveillance using High-Throughput Quantitative Imaging at @uniofbath.bsky.social . Deadline: January 16th! Apply: is.gd/svXBcr Image: www.planktoscope.org/how-it-works

Genome duplication, innovation and macroevolution in grasses - with myself, @phil-donoghue.bsky.social and Tom Williams. bpb-eu-w2.wpmucdn.com/blogs.bristo... A great chance to get involved with @wgdip.bsky.social via the SWBioDTP. Please apply here: www.swbio.ac.uk/programme/ho...

PhD opportunity in plant developmental biology for UK based students of Black heritage! How do they know when to grow up? Join us at the University of Bristol to find out. Application deadline Jan 6th www.findaphd.com/phds/project... #PlantSciencePhDs @blackinplantsci.bsky.social

NERC GW4+ PhD: Genome duplication, extinction and diversification in the evolution of flowering plants, supervised by Phil Donoghue, James Clark and Ilia Leitch. Deets soon but get in touch with @phil-donoghue.bsky.social if interested. Jan 8 application deadline @bristolpalaeo.bsky.social

🌱 Open PhD Position in Plant EvoDevo 🌱 Thinking about a PhD in plant evodevo? The Becker Research Group (JLU Giessen, Germany) has a fully funded 4-year PhD position in the ICIPS II research unit! 🎓 📍 Where? Gießen, Germany – great research environment & vibrant plant science network.

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...

Our latest, led by @jameswclark.bsky.social of @milnerevolution.bsky.social shows that the notorious mismatch between molecular and palaeontological estimates for the timing of origin of angiosperms is a consequence of equivocal interpretation of their fossil record @bristolpalaeo.bsky.social

Uncertainty in the timing of diversification of flowering plants rests with equivocal interpretation of their fossil record | Royal Society Open Science

The timing of the origin of crown-angiosperms exemplifies the impact of competing approaches to establishing evolutionary timescales. Fossils of unequivocal crown-angiosperms are not known from before...

Delighted to see this paper from danderson123.bsky.social 's PhD out. We have been building tools for AMR gene detection for over a decade now, but multicopy genes remain challenging. Dan shows that with a gene-space de Bruijn graph and long reads, you can do well www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

🌱🌻Finally out! All ICIPS PIs had their say in a seminal 31 page review on the evolution of land plant sexual reproduction. With lots of fine figures to share! Thanks to @icips.bsky.social and @dfg.de for funding our work. #PlantScienceResarch, #PlantEvoDevo rdcu.be/elOeI

Do you love #fossil plants? Are you searching for a #PhD position? I am recruiting a doctoral student to join my group at the Senckenberg Research Institute in Frankfurt/M! Deadline on the 11th of May #paleobotany #paleontology #plants #botany www.senckenberg.de/en/career/sc...

Our 2025 Irene Manton Prize winner is Dr Jamie B Thompson! His research into the diversification of flowering plants is revolutionising our understanding of biodiversity, showing that they weren't wiped out by the asteroid that killed the dinosaurs. @jamiet-E442.bsky.social www.linnean.org/the-...

Dating Bacteria is hard due to the lack of maxima. Assuming aerobes likely postdated the GOE gave us better resolved ages, but also surprised us, but not Dr Dayhoff, showing O2 use predated its atmospheric rise by 900 Mys and helped oxygenic photosynthesis to evolve. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Internal goings-on in an early something-ophyte!

Philip Donoghue@phil-donoghue.bsky.social · 2y ago

Our latest, led by Jenny Morris, used synchrotron tomography to out the early bryophyte Tortilicaulis as an early tracheophyte, not least because its axes bear tracheal elements. This study formed part of Tom Crooks MSc Palaeobiology at Bristol fi.nm.cz/en/clanek/lo...
