Southern African grasslands as the source of most Helichrysum lineages and repeated colonization of the tropical Afromontane and Afroalpine areas throughout the Miocene–Pliocene. A fascinating study by Carme Blanco-Gavaldà et al.! https://t.co/SEWk16Z37o
Excited to share our latest paper just published in PNAS. great collaboration with @PirieMike & co.... The enigmatic tropical alpine flora on the African sky islands is young, disturbed, and unsaturated | Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences https://t.co/QgqsqI6TZA
@SiccoVanHoegee @Tweet_Prvn @NaturelsWeird@real_mos@OlifaNT It's rather Dendrosenecio woodland not Lobelia forest. Perhaps if you are interested to know more about this charismatic plant here is our study: https://t.co/HKmNocZkkj

@gunsnrosesgirl3 convergent evolution via adaptation to similar environments. For more information on these charismatic plants, please check out our publication https://t.co/HKmNocZkkj (2/)
@gunsnrosesgirl3 The giant rosette plants of Dendrosenecios are considered as one of the flagship species on the high mountains of Tropical East Africa, also known as the Afro-alpine. They are of course similar to that of Espeletia in the Andes and represent a classical example of (1/2)
Another benefit of virtual #Botany2020 - I'm home for our Tom's birthday. While I'm resisting live-tweeting the Norwegian version of Minions from the cinema, you busy folks could check out Martha Kandziora's talk in the Macroevolution II session:
