It's here and ahead-of-print at @ASNAmNat ! 🎉 Our 22-page polyploid coexistence model is now available: doi.org/10.1086/734411
This work wouldn’t be possible without NSF support—including funding from an NSF GRFP, an NSF PRFB, and NSF DMS & DBI grants. @soltislab @NKortessis

NEW PAPER OUT!
Assessing drivers of leaf endophyte diversity and composition across a broad geographic and phylogenetic scale, we found that:
-assembly patterns differed between bacterial and fungal endophytes; (1/3)

It is really nice to see that data supported hypotheses very well: Long-term nitrogen deposition reduces the diversity of nitrogen-fixing plants | Science Advances science.org/doi/10.1126/scia…

An elevational cline in leaf variegation: Testing anti-#herbivory & abiotic heterogeneity hypotheses in maintaining a #polymorphism

ALT A two-paneled image of a variegated and non-variegated plant from the genus Hexastylis. The plants have heart-shaped leaves with a cordate leaf base and obtuse apex. The left variegated plant image shows leaves with a pale green color spreading from the veins against a dark green background, creating a pale green webbing pattern. The right non-variegated plant image has leaves that are uniformly dark green. Both plants are surrounded by leaf litter on a forest floor.
Upholstery adventure part two. Adding muslin, then damask, then gimp! This is supposed to match my settee, which is from the same period with a similar pattern.
New upholstery adventure 1/2. Another carved rosewood piece (Dalbergia sissoo?). The modern upholstery was a bad job, kind of lumpy. The batting is original, check out that horse hair! I fixed the lumps using some raw wool from the same period but kept the rest.

Now official, I’ve moved back to London and today is my first day at Birkbeck, University of London! Researching all things botanical🌿🌱🪴 - potential postdocs or PhD/MRes students do feel free to get in touch! @BBKNatSci @BirkbeckScience @BirkbeckUoL
