@leocongarra Nice the fun part of biology.

[Hervé Sauquet 🌈 @hsauquet_bgsyd]

Excited to share the latest from the #eFLOWERproject: a morphospace study of angiosperm flowers led by Andrea López-Martínez and Marion Chartier!

Angiosperm flowers reached their highest morphological diversity early in their evolutionary history

☺️ Honoured to join this year's joint #conference of the Australian #Biological Resources Study @DCCEEW, @ASBS_botany, @SASBiologists & @ausmycsoc to recognise the #scientific work of these three bright young #scientists!🙌

Team @BotanicSydney at #Biosystematics2023 😎 It’s been a busy couple of days, looking forward to the last day of the conference today!

This was fun! Fabulous field trip to N Head Sanctuary with 32 wonderful colleagues from @BotanicSydney and the Sanctuary Foundation!

Up in the canopy! Look! It's a flower 🌺! It's an inflorescence💐! It's a pseudanthium🌻!

[Julian Herting @JulianBotanic]

Comparing rates with disparity (Chartier et al 2017), we found 3 ways they co-occur:

- fast evolution & high disparity
- slow evolution & high disparity
- slow evolution & low disparity

never fast evolution & low disparity.

Morphological trait of different floral 🌼 modules evolve at different rates in #Ericales 🫐 and #angiosperms🌻.

We investigated how evolutionary rates compare among flower modules and how rates and floral disparity are connected.

Profile of a flower: How rates of morphological #evolution drive floral diversification in #Ericales & #angiosperms

[Julian Herting @JulianBotanic]

In general, across Ericales and angiosperms the ranking from fastest to slowest evolutionary rates among floral modules is:

1. Androecium ♂️
2. Perianth 🌼
3. Gynoecium ♀️

Had a touching and inspiring time this morning at Yandel’ora on Dharawal Country celebrating #NAIDOCWeek by designing and making an ephemeral mural with all ABG staff. This place definitely has a magic to bring people together. @BotanicSydney

@rubyecology @hsauquet_rbgsyd @PraxicalProject Thanks @rubyecology that was a great set, making sure I can never look at Hernia again without thinking of striped African wildlife. 😂

Forgotten fossils rewrite the evolutionary history of the nightshades! 🌶🍅🌶

Where do fossil flowers fit in the angiosperm phylogeny? Here we provide some possible answers using a diversity of methods, including constrained and unconstrained MP, ML, and BI phylo analyses.

[Thomas Mesaglio @thomasmesaglio]

New paper in @NewPhyt. Surely every Aussie plant species has been photographed at least once? Turns out a lot haven't! Of ~21,000 native species, 18% didn't have a field photo across 33 online resources. SE states are well-documented, WA has most gaps

I surveyed Wategora Reserve in western Sydney for 380 hours from 2020-2022, recording 1926 species. The reserve contains the critically endangered community Cooks River/Castlereagh Ironbark Forest.

[Julian Herting @JulianBotanic]

Indeed. Read and find out how different floral traits evolve at different rates and which part of the #flower evolves the fastest. https://t.co/9kdC1nQniK

Piece out from myself and Judy Friedlander in @ConversationEDU on citizen science demographics, the recent B&B BioBlitz for school kids, and tips for making good photographic observations of biodiversity (esp. for iNat)

@jason_nge @ASBS_botany That is correct.

[Julian Herting @JulianBotanic]

With the @ASBS_botany conference coming to a close, I wanted to share with you the magnificent plant tattoos of plants real and not so real that are residing under the skin of some attendants. See all in the thread. Can you name the plants portrayed?
