I'm passionate about diversity! Plants, animals, people, genes, there's so much to explore!

“I watched attempts by bureaucrats and biologists [botanists not biologists I assume!] to sideline Oxford Uni’s herbarium ...and hamper plant identification. It was a mercy, as administrators now realise, they failed.” @ftweekend #herbarium

[Prof. Jeff Ollerton - @[email protected] @JeffOllerton]

So this is one of the things I've been up to for the last 12 months: trying to get to grips with the #biodiversity of plant-pollinator interactions in one of the largest families of flowering plants. And coordinating 74 co-authors at the same time..... https://t.co/fnyfBan1pd

[Jeff Karron @PollinatorCons]

New paper by @JeffOllerton et al provides an unparalleled description of #pollination systems #diversity in a large plant family. Nicely highlights evolutionary transitions amongst #pollinator classes
