Clarivate released the 2026 JCR yesterday. We are thrilled that, from a standing start, JPE's first-ever Impact Factor is 1.8! An outstanding result for the journal and a testament to the high-quality contributions of our authors, reviewers and editors. Carolin and Maria Clara JPE Senior Editors

📣 Introducing MorphSim: an R package for simulating discrete morphological data along phylogenetic trees, built for fossil-inclusive phylogenetics, with all the complexity of real morphological data baked in 🪨🌿 besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Dynamics of tropical forest usually means forest area decline.For restoration it is important to study cases where forest regain areas of abandoned land.This is a process more complicated than it might seem, and it is studied in a new thesis from Uppsala Univ. by Laura Moro www.uu.se/kalendarium/...

🎉Good news! The paper ‘Intra-individual variation in pollen availability: an experimental analysis of its impact on plant–pollinator interactions’ in @annbot.bsky.social by González-Almansa Laredo et al. is now #free for 2 weeks 🧵1/9 👉 doi.org/q6hr @lilianmelo.bsky.social @nicrodemo.bsky.social

A paper in Nature Ecology & Evolution reports insights into how ancient plants lived around 252 million years ago at the time of the Permian–Triassic mass extinction, the most severe loss of biodiversity in Earth’s history. go.nature.com/4cGiEY5 #PlantScience 🌍🧪

New paper alert‼️Collaboration with @nicrodemo.bsky.social and Fernando 🐝🌼✨️

The new bee documentary is out today in Disney+. Our buzzing bees did make the cut at the end! It is really nice to see the clip of how bees use previously collected nectar to pack pollen even in nectarless flowers! There are lots of other cool things in this two-part film!

I’m still mesmerized by the beauty of this phenomenon. Being able to see the Aurora Borealis from my home in Uppsala is truly incredible. #uppsala #northenlights ✨️🌌🥰

Today I gave a presentation about my work to the Vallejo-Marin lab team. I’m so happy to share what I’ve learned over the past few years. It’s been wonderful to appreciate the beauty of this process and remind myself that every small victory should be celebrated ✨️🤓🌼🐝 #Uppsalauniversity #Postdoc

And now it is out! Even if you haven't been sweating how old tomatoes are, click for some lovely time trees decorated with plant fossils! (or if you're thinking about doing a TED analysis yourself and want to see how we pulled it off :) academic.oup.com/aob/advance-...

📣 Call for Applications: The University of Vienna invites applications for more than 40 fully funded doctoral positions across a broad range of disciplines in Life Sciences and Natural Sciences. 👨‍🔬👩‍🔬 #PhDSky #PhD #univie 📅 Application period: 2 March – 27 March 2026, 12:00 CET More information: ⤵️

Some bees don’t just buzz—they bite the flower too! 🐝 By gripping the anthers, their buzz sends stronger vibrations that release more pollen. Join @charliezoology.bsky.social on 13 Jan 2026 for a FREE entoLIVE talk on the biomechanics of bee buzzing. Register: www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/1850820516...

I am very happy to see this paper, whitch I collaborated on, now published on Plant Biology. Congratulations Larissa Oliveira, it turned out beautifully! #### Unicamp Unesp UFU Uppsala University onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Just out! 📄 The labs of @nicrodemo.bsky.social (Uppsala) and Emily Baird (Stockholm) studied the temperature sensitivity of bee buzzes 🐝 Key findings: - Frequency is driven by thorax temp - Air temps > 25 C affect muscle function - Little/no effect of species www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Enjoying the beauty of autumn in Uppsala 🍁🍂

I cannot believe our work is finally out there and in @journal-evo.bsky.social ! This was an enormous group effort! We provide an updated estimate of the number of buzz pollinated angiosperm species, genera, and families, look at consequences for diversification, number of transitions, and more!

This came as a beautiful surprise! What an amazing feeling reading a commentary on your paper, especially if you put soooo much work on it! Thank you @karlandraczek.bsky.social and @newphyt.bsky.social !

Plant Program Day! A special day to present our projects and results, strengthen relationships, and have fun! #UppsalaUniversity #EBC #Sweden #Postdoc

Where does pollen go after leaving a flower? Our paper on pollen fates in buzz pollinated flowers is out. Congrats to the three brilliant undergrads that carried out this study from beginning to end! pollinationecology.org/index.php/jp...

I'm delighted with Barcelona. What a beautiful city! It was a great experience to be part of #ESEB2025, to meet many researchers and interesting projects. It's always great to present the results of my work and receive positive feedback. See you next time!

Beautiful paths through Uppsala ...

This is our lab celebrating the MSc defense of Robin von Allmen and the BSc of Karin Lindahl with a picnic in the forest near Uppsala University. Robin will start his PhD at Stockholm and Karin an MSc this autumn. Good luck and it’s been great working with you!!
