Come and work with us (the Kokkonuts) as a postdoc! Our research within (theory-evo-eco) is broad; let's say it's implicitly defined by the journal club papers we read. Which is why the application process includes a JC-related task, I hope it'll be a fun one for you! www.evoldir.net/brian/evoldi...

🔥SPECIAL ISSUE CALL FOR PAPERS❄️ Submit your proposal for #AJB and #AppsPlantSci joint special issues focusing on how temperature shapes & constrains plant biology. Proposal deadline: 30 Sep 2026 More info: bit.ly/4fmMhPu @seemasheth.bsky.social #botany #climatechange #ecology #plantevolution

Hey fellow Department Chairs - how do you schedule your regular 1-1s with your grad students? I’m trying to block off a whole day for this + lab meeting, but idk if I can make it consistent. Let them do ad hoc drop ins? You drop in ad hoc? Some combo? Something else? Thanks! 🙏🏾

How crazy is this!? A plant mimicking the smell of ants injured by spiders to fool kleptoparastic flies into performing pollination 🤯 Plant shenanigans is an endless source of wonderful biology! www.cell.com/current-biol...

Olfactory floral mimicry of injured ants mediates the attraction of kleptoparasitic fly pollinators

Mochizuki reports a plant that lures pollinating flies by imitating the scent of ants injured by predators. This study reveals the first known case of ant mimicry in flowers and uncovers previously un...

Interested in genetics, diversification, and speciation? We're hiring a Research Associate to help with our projects, including the convergent evolution of fruit color. Come and work with us! Feel free to contact me with questions. (Reposts appreciated!) Link: indiana.peopleadmin.com/postings/33973

At #Botany2026, I was hoping to start recruiting for my lab group. If you are interested in polyploidy and population genetics, please reach out.

What are the conferences/meetings that plant evolutionary ecologists in the UK attend? It seems silly for us to be siloed by taxonomy, so I’m keen to explore how we can encourage greater discourse. Please RT.

Plant people--specifically plant reproduction/mating/sexual system-- I'm writing a paper that compares pollination in i) hermaphroditic species with cosexual flowers; ii) monoecious species; and iii) dioecious species. Is this the 'easiest' terminology for the 3 categories? (see next for options)...

Check out our new issue - including the Editor's Choice article by @jeromeburkiewicz.bsky.social et al! They show that despite phenotypic plasticity, flower morphology of the spotted jewelweed has evolved in urban habitats to better suit bumblebees, their main pollinators doi.org/10.1093/evle...

Excited to share our new paper in which we test how competition alters adaptation at a warming range edge @science.org We find that competition can increase adaptation to warming when there is a shared evolutionary response to both biotic and abiotic drivers of selection: tinyurl.com/3j8s9t8b

Competition enables rapid adaptation to a warming range edge in a model plant community

Most predictions of whether populations will adapt to warming range edges ignore species interactions. We experimentally tested whether range-edge populations can adapt to warming within a competitive...

Canada’s ‘major projects’ should not come at the cost of the environment

"The need to transition towards a clean energy future demands investment in new infrastructure. However, the way to do it is not to hollow out the scientific processes designed to safeguard communities and the environment." 🌎 theconversation.com/canadas-majo...

Canada’s ‘major projects’ should not come at the cost of the environment

Impact assessments prevent harm before it occurs. Circumventing the process before we understand the risks is misguided and a gamble with our collective future.
