A consensus phylogenomic approach highlights paleopolyploid & rapid radiation in the history of #Ericales (new #AJB research by Drew Larson, Joseph Walker, @Oscarmvargash & @evoblackrim) bsapubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/aj… #botany #evolution Wiley Plant Science Darwin Hernandez

New evidence for a polytomy and paleopolyploidy in Ericales with Joseph Walker, @Oscarmvargash, & @evoblackrim. The first of my dissertation research at UMich Ecology and Evolutionary Biology and my first #AJB article! doi.org/10.1002/ajb2.1…

Very happy to announce my new open access paper in New Phytologist with Christopher Dick, PhD, @Oscarmvargash and Beto Vicentini. It’s about hybridization and phylogeny in the Neotropical tree genus Eschweilera, including some of the most abundant tree species in the Amazon! doi.org/10.1111/nph.17…

Important new paper about the importance of hybridisation in the Amazon tree flora. Congratulations Drew Larson Christopher Dick, PhD and co-authors nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/np…

New paper on the demography and biomass of trees in the Brazil nut family #Lecythidaceae in central Amazon rain forest. UMich Ecology and Evolutionary Biology PhD student Tamara Milton led this work with help from NBCabello 🌳 and Priscila Souza and others 1/ authors.elsevier.com/a/1ebZJ1L%7EGw…

I'm very happy to announce that our new article on the systematics of Primulaceae s.l. is now available open access! It's last of my PhD work at UMich Ecology and Evolutionary Biology and a very collaborative project including with scientists at @KewScience and Florida Museum. doi.org/10.1016/j.ympe…

Sharing a new phylogeny of the Brazil nut family and a revised classification its two most important Amazon tree genera, Lecythis and Eschweilera. OA links in thread. @evoblackrim Diana Medellín Z. @Oscarmvargash Drew Larson Xavier Cornejo ForestPlots
