Check out my first PhD publication! In this huge revision, a result from an international collaboration, we finally clear out the South American Carex sect. Junciformes taxonomy and described four new species! 👇

The Pyrenees welcomed us with these nice Eriophorum latifolium-dominated wet meadows. I never thought this many botanists could have so much fun just because there were 7 species of Carex in one spot. The magic of sedges!

[Pedro Jiménez Mejías @pjimmej]

We never get tired for Carex hunting! This year the high season has an unprecedent team of sedge stars from around the World that came to Spain for #ibc2024. Heading to the Pyrenees and arriving in a few hours! The fun starts right now!

[Morgan Gostel @M_Gostel]

Thank you, @pjimmej for letting us hitchhike around the world with you and #Carex this morning - amazing talk showing the power of mobilizing a huge dataset to understand big #biogeography questions in one of the largest genera on Earth

#IBC2024 #Cyperaceae

[Pedro Jiménez Mejías @pjimmej]

#MacondoLab @pablodeolavide research, together with the sedge team at @BiodiversosU, made Carex very present at #ibc2024. With talks on five symposia and several posters we have shown the many things that sedges can tell us. Congrats to us all for all the achievements!

[Paulo Muñoz Schüler 🌻 @paulaceae1]

Have you ever seen this many cyperologists in one room? what about two rooms? 😆 having fun last night with these amazing people in the Cyperaceae dinner at downtown Madrid 🌾 how many cyperologists can you recognize? @intsedgesoc

[Santiago Martín-Bravo @S_Martin_Bravo]

Incredibly honoured with the successful Carex International Meeting just finished at @pablodeolavide. Gathering such great people for a couple of days in #Seville has been one of the most amazing things in my professional career. Thank you so much to all who made it happen!!!

[Pedro Jiménez Mejías @pjimmej]

Yesterday we finished our Carex International Meeting in Seville at @pablodeolavide. >30 researchers from all the continents joined in a 2-days sedge botanical celebration in the beautiful setting of our town. It's been great having all you here! See you all at #ibc2024!
