Woohoo! This manuscript is finally accepted! The product of several undergraduate projects investigating nectar bacteria, pollinators, nectar composition & production & reproduction in Platanthera transversa. 🧪 🌱 🐝 #orchids

From moths to microbes: investigating reproductive biology, pollination & nectar in Platanthera transversa (Orchidaceae). Accepted in the Journal of Plant Interactions. DOI: 10.1080/17429145.2026.2666500

This survey is looking for more participants outside of France and honestly looking at photos of forests for 10 minutes is a great way to procrastinate 🌳

I know everyone gets busy but it drives me crazy when people accept a review invitation & then never submit. I implore you to ask for extensions or let the editor know you can’t do it so they can begin trying to find an alternate. #peerreview 🧪

I cannot believe our work is finally out there and in @journal-evo.bsky.social ! This was an enormous group effort! We provide an updated estimate of the number of buzz pollinated angiosperm species, genera, and families, look at consequences for diversification, number of transitions, and more!

How many plant species are buzz pollinated? After more than six years in the making, our paper on the convergent evolution of buzz pollinated flowers is out in @journal-evo.bsky.social. Thanks @draverbee.bsky.social @roszenil.bsky.social and all co-authors for your hard work! doi.org/10.1093/evol...

I always underestimate how long it takes to submit a manuscript. I mean, why would anyone think it takes 2.5 hrs to upload some files? Anyway, let’s celebrate that small win with this orchid pic!
