How can pollination affect seed dispersal? We don't have a good answer because both topics are rarely integrated. That's why @mhkoski and I proposed this framework just published in @Ecology_Letters. In that, we (+)

I'm glad that the main product of my postdoc at @usponline with a fellowship of @AgenciaFAPESP is finally published!

[Andressa Cabral @acabral_bio]

One of the most symbolic papers of my career is now out. Here we describe two new species of Barbacenia (Velloziaceae), one in honor of my former supervisor and a great botanist, Renato Mello-Silva (in memoriam).

Very proud of my MSc student @FriederikeWolke for leading this work @NewPhyt: Africa is unique when it comes to fruit size evolution - fruits evolve to be larger than elsewhere, possibly due to dispersal by megafauna 🐘 and Miocene savanna expansion🌴 https://t.co/rwlfLHtcry

@CwdickD @diapophysis Hey! For Minas Gerais region try “Grandes Sertões Veredas” or “Sagarana” from João Guimaraes Rosa :) Great books and two of my favorites

[Thais Vasconcelos @TNCVasconcelos]

I'm excited to announce that I will be joining @UMichEEB as an Assistant Professor & Herbarium Curator this Fall (2022)! I'll be soon looking for grad students too! If you like plant biogeography and/or tropical botany, check out my website for more information👇#NewPI 🌿🌿🌿

10 websites you didn't know you were missing (until now) :

[Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society @BotJLinnSoc]

At nearly 500 pp, "Drivers of Neotropical Diversity" is the largest issue @BotJLinnSoc (Vol 199 part 1) to date. Editorial, five reviews and 20 original papers. #BotJLinnSoc200 https://t.co/5KAs3jA8jx

Very good news for a Friday after a hard week. I got accepted to the PhD program at @UMichEEB!! 🌿🎉

Thrilled to announce that the final chapter of my PhD has just been published in @GEB_macro. Why species richness is so unbalanced across the Earth? Here we explore the dramatic differences in lizard diversity among the world's main deserts 🦎🏜️🌏
