The first chapter of my dissertation with Carrie Wessinger is now available as a preprint!! Give it a read if you are interested in learning more about the evolutionary history of an EXTREMELY cool floral type called personate flowers!!

#sdmverse, a collaborative metapackage to document the species distribution modeling @Rstats ecosystem, just grew a little. Welcome, #gatoRs, Shelly Gaynor, and Natalie Patten!

If you happen to be interested in the coexistence of diploids and tetraploids given modern coexistence theory and stochastic population dynamics - Check out our #JustAccepted paper at @ASNAmNat with Soltis Lab @UF + Nicholas Kortessis - doi.org/10.1086/734411

I'm not at #PAG32, but Rʜᴇᴛᴛ M. Rᴀᴜᴛsᴀᴡ 🐍 is! Spot-the-Rhett at the PacBio booth!
