Maybe late to the game, but if you have not read the 75th Anniversary special series of @systbiol.bsky.social you should. So many good ideas and history there academic.oup.com/sysbio/pages... #systematicbiology

This is a great lineup of tropical botany talks!
Laura Lagomarsino, PhD@tropicalbotany.bsky.social · 3d agoBetter late than never to compile the #botany2026 talks from research done in the #LagoLab! Check out talks by @laufran.bsky.social, Aislinn Mumford, and @evoyeyo.bsky.social tomorrow, and @laymonstera.bsky.social on Tuesday!
Hey #Botany2026, mark your schedule for an amazing talk by Kelly González, postdoc in my research group on ecological niche modeling and whether riverweeds (Podostemaceae) care for anything other than river rapids!! Tomorrow at 2:15 pm at San Luis 1
Who at #botany2026 is thinking about which talks to see tomorrow? Maybe I humbly recommend our talk on Physalis phylogenomics where we ask the question, why are there so many tomatillo species 50 million years after a (famous to Solanologists) bottleneck? Tomorrow 1:30pm in San Ignacio!
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
I’m just going to say Begonia flowers are definitely crazy and you should go listen to Kaitlyn talk about this.
Avery Russell@draverbee.bsky.social · 7d ago#Botany2026 is nearly here! We have a great lineup of talks and posters from our lab! Check out the image for times & people!)! Can't wait to experience my first Botany!! @jentomology.bsky.social
Wanna hear about introgression and pollination syndromes? Boy, do I have a talk for you! I'll be presenting my last dissertation chapter in the Cooley Award session on Monday, 8:45am in room Tucson C-D! #botany2026
I’m recruiting a PhD student to join our lab in the fall of 2027. If you’re excited about phylogenetics, comp bio, paleobiology, stats theory, macroevolution, etc. please get in touch! Folks at #Evol2026, you can talk to @brpetrucci.bsky.social & @sigournie.bsky.social to learn more about our lab
#Evol2026 has been a blast!! Hope to see some of you mutuals at my talk this evening. Let’s talk about dogs and fossils and dog fossils 😎
Bruno do Rosario Petrucci@brpetrucci.bsky.social · 2mo agoHope to see y'all at #Evol2026! I'll be talking about my simulation tests of cutting-edge fossilized birth-death models, and what we can learn from the Canidae phylogeny using these models. Come through! It'll be on Sunday (June 21st) at 5:15PM, room 22. Last talk first day 🤙
The branches of the plant tree of life become fuzzy for Andean clades! The evolution of many plant groups of the Andes remain unresolved. Here a breakdown of what happens for #Brachyotum, endemic to the Tropical side of these mountains.
Botanical Society of America@botsocamerica.bsky.social · 2mo agoEvidence of introgression amid phylogenetic conflict in #Brachyotum, a plant radiation from the Tropical #Andes New #AJB research by @evoyeyo.bsky.social, Ana Bedoya, Fabián Michelangeli, Lucas Majure, Carmen Ulloa Ulloa, & @tropicalbotany.bsky.social doi.org/10.1002/ajb2... #botany #plantscience
Excited to share our new paper in @methodsinecoevol.bsky.social on data and code archiving at @britishecologicalsociety.org journals. TL;DR: Data archiving rates are high, code archiving rates are low, documentation needs to be improved! besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.....

Hi all. I am very excited that after 6 years I finally got my phylogenetic comparative methods book and online exercises online. Feel free to use and share. The book is here: nhcooper123.github.io/pcm-primer/. Note that it is not finished, we had to abandon it before the sunk costs fallacy broke us

New paper showing clustering of the many traits across reproductive strategies of angiosperms. Lots of interesting discussions that gave raise to this piece. But only possible thanks to the hard work of Andrew Helmstetter, Sylvain Glémin, and Jos Käfer. nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1...
An angiosperm‐wide perspective on reproductive strategies and floral traits
Flowering plants have many modes of sexual reproduction, notably varying from selfing to outcrossing, and from bisexual flowers to individuals with separate sexes (dioecy). These reproductive modes ...
