Ancient Neotropical mountains are often framed as isolated “sky-islands". But are they? Using 13 plant lineages from the campos rupestres of eastern South America, we uncover extensive lineage sharing with surrounding lowlands driven by climate. Open access: doi.org/10.1111/geb....

🎉 Good news! The paper ‘Morphological innovation and lineage-specific history drive disparification in the aggregated pollen of mimosoid plants’ in @annbot.bsky.social by @barduzzi-rafael.bsky.social and co-authors is now #free for 2 weeks 🧵(1/9) 👉 doi.org/p9gm #PlantEvolution #AoBpapers

🌺New paper out in @annbot.bsky.social, addressing the morphological disparity of aggregated pollen in mimosoid plants! We found that disparification in the studied groups was mainly driven by morphological innovation and lineage-specific history, not by habitat. academic.oup.com/aob/article-...

We are pleased to share our latest paper published today on IntegrativeZool, which investigates the repetitive DNA content of arowana fishes. You can read more about it on doi.org/10.1111/1749...

Happy to share my new article on how morphological diversification proceeds during evolutionary radiations: "The diffused evolutionary dynamics of morphological novelty" www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/... 🧵 1/12

Very excited to share our new investigation conducted by Luciano Pozzobon. Here, we describe a multiple-sex chromosome system Z1Z1Z2Z2/Z1Z2W in two boobies species (Sula datylatra and S. leucogaster). doi.org/10.1139/gen-...
