Sedge taxonomy is going to rock! Join the intiative and become one of our collaborators on creating a new taxonomic platform for Cyperaceae

[Antonelli Lab @antonelli_lab]

PhD oportunity! We're looking for a doctoral researcher in tropical forest ecology, to be based at the University of Gothenburg in Sweden. Join us to contribute to ongoing research in the Atlantic Forest, Brazil. @araca_project More details here: https://t.co/gCDkkTZUBs

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! 👇

A #newspecies in the pipewart family has been discovered from the campos rupestres of eastern Minas Gerais, Brazil, underscoring the critical need for #conservation of these unique and threatened mountaintop ecosystems.

Breaking news! With a whopping 160 billion base pairs, the #genome of the fork fern #Tmesipteris oblanceolata shatters previous size record in eukaryotes. And yet again, this ground-breaking record belongs to a plant! 🧬🧪🌿@IBB_botanic @CSIC
