Super-excited to announce new paper just out in @systbiol describing our comprehensive #phylogenomic platform for the #angiosperm #TreeofLife (see also thread)

Our #TreeofLife endeavours rest on the incredible #phylogenomic wealth of the world’s natural history collections. We owe a huge debt to those #herbarium collectors and curators whose treasures we now decipher genetically in the lab. @KewScience #PAFTOL

[Bill Baker @BillJBaker]

We’ve just launched the Kew #TreeofLife Explorer with a vast new public dataset for #angiosperm tree of life research

[Herbarium - Univ. of Hohenheim @HOH_Herbarium]

Small, but mighty! Local & small #herbaria are very important sources for plant information. Thanks @SandyKnapp for this very informative presentation! #SOTWPF @UniHohenheim

[Bill Baker @BillJBaker]

Four excellent principles from @SandyKnapp to ensure #collections can truly help us stop biodiversity loss #SOTWPF @KewScience @NHM_Botany

First discovered as fruits in the tombs of ancient Egypt, the argun palm (Medemia argun) is accurately listed on @IUCNRedList at last. This rare and vulnerable Nubian desert palm is severely threatened by gold mining and climate change. @KewScience

Palm #FunFact: the leaves of Kerriodoxa elegans are often chewed by fruit #bats to create a roost. Today, the bats aren't home so I can safely stand underneath. Interestingly, this also happens at Queen Sirikit Botanic Garden, far North of the #palm's native range. @EcoinfAU

[Renske Onstein @RenskeOnstein]

Why are angiosperms so successful, in terms of species and ecologies? I reviewed trait-dependent diversification and transition rates, showing that 'trait flexibility' could be important @NewPhyt : https://t.co/xairdRq54y, and a bit more background https://t.co/F6ECX0UgAF

[Wolf L. Eiserhardt @w_eiserhardt]

Very grateful to Queen Sirikit Botanic Garden for letting us use their facilities and showing me their amazing living #palm collection (here: Kerriodoxa elegans, a southern Thailand endemic). Already arranged to come back next year and spend more time. #floraofthailand @EcoinfAU

[Wolf L. Eiserhardt @w_eiserhardt]

Tremendously enjoyable day in the dry dipterocarp forest of Ob Khan NP in N Thailand, together with their super knowledgeable and helpful rangers. Not many palms (just Phoenix loureiroi), but plenty other #plants to collect for the #herbarium, and lots of hills to climb...

[Wolf L. Eiserhardt @w_eiserhardt]

Collecting spiny #rattan #palms for the #herbarium is fun - but watching somebody else do it is even better. Showing my colleagues in Thailand how this is done - no pain, no gain (why did I forget to bring my gloves??) #floraofthailand @EcoinfAU
