To practicing species taxonomists using morphology, here's a guide to our new paper on species concepts. A 🧵. @JeannettWhitton (Paper: doi.org/10.18061/bssb.v2i1.9…; see also: xitter.cf/WayneMaddison/status/1….)
A new view of #SpeciesConcepts by @JeannettWhitton and me, clarifying time frames while unifying interbreeding, genealogy, and traits. A general-purpose species should be a reproductive community (bound by cohesive processes) viewed retrospectively (RRCC). doi.org/10.18061/bssb.v2i1.9…

Commonly used Bayesian diversification methods lead to biologically meaningful differences in branch-specific rates on empirical phylogenies:

Ok #Botany2023 here are some delayed posts because I was focusing on being in the moment at the conference. I heard about a ton of cool science... 1/n

Here you go! I think you’d especially be excited about @funauntlaura, @evoyeyo and @L_DBall’s talks, and both of @botAna_Bedoya’s are treats too! – at Boise, ID
An updated of the #LagoLab at #Botany2023 poster with updated titles and corrected times! Check out the brilliant scholarship of <in chronological order> @evoyeyo, @funauntlaura, @AislinnMumford, @Just_K_athe, @botAna_Bedoya (x2), @JanetMansaray, @L_DBall, and @elanorfuller_!

Day 3 of #PhylogenomicsInTheAndes was all about connecting natural history to morphological data collection to visualization (and our first coding exercises!). With a talk by ultimate role model @botAna_Bedoya on her riverweed research to break up the day! A success 👌🏼.

My stomata peel tutorial video just came out on @LabXchange! You'll never see leaves the same way again 💋🌿

Just saw a wonderful talk by @WhimsicalAllium about incorporating explicit developmental models into #PCMs. @lukejharmon put it this way "one of the best talks I've seen so far at #Evol2023."

Successfully randomized the highest density 🍎 planting in New York 😉. 32 combinations, 480 trees, 18 blocks, 8 pairs of exhausted quads, and 4 sets of low back pain. Here’s to out of control experiments!! My team is the best out there!!
Kaplan's Principles was selected by Taylor & Francis as the Best Science Reference Book for 2022! I feel like it should count as a winner for the next decade given how long it took me to complete, yet I'm grateful for the honor. Get it while its hot!! routledge.com/Kaplan-s-Princ…

#ICN La semana próxima tendremos un Encuentro de Biodiversidad muy, pero muy especial. Será la última clase de unos de nuestros profesores más queridos en el Instituto. Jaime finalizará después de más de tres decadas sus tareas académicas en este encuentro. ¡Imperdible!

Humidity serves as an attractant for pollinators, as demonstrated by cycads and the weevils that visit their cones. Great work published by NSF postdoc Shayla Salzman @Salzman_Lab at @CornellCALS #CornellBotany
Pollinators are attracted to humidity, not just scent. news.cornell.edu/stories/202…
