El gobierno brasileño lanzó becas para traer 500 estudiantes latinos o caribeños (maestría o doctorado) a Brasil. Los estudiantes podrán permanecer aquí de 2 a 12 meses. ¡¡¡Ayuda a difundir esto con nuestros hermanos y hermanas latinoamericanos!!!

I'm thrilled to share with you MelastomaTRAITS, our latest data paper that has just been published in Ecology (1/5) doi.org/10.1002/ecy.43…

This paper results from the collab of various researchers, including Marcelo Reginato, Vini Brito, Agnes Dellinger, Lilian Melo & Lisieux Fuzessy

It's official: #SCAPE2024 will take place in Western Norway from 10. to 13. October!! Mark your calendars, looking forward to meet!! Thanks to Bjørn Arild Hatteland & the SCAPE 2024 organizing committee

Super excited to be able to post about this work! Really proud of the work the team put into this!

How is functional poricidal morphology in flowers achieved? Why does it occur in groups that aren't bee pollinated? Linked to diversification? Read our preprint for answers 😀

Join us for the next #melastomataceae virtual seminar March 6th 10 AM (NY time).
Ben Lazarus, Ash Kerber and Karolina Gwardiak (Uni Vienna and UC Boulder) talking about Buzz-pollination sub-niche partitioning in co-flowering Rhexia species

After a long 4 and a half years, I finally became a PhD in Ecology and Biodiversity.

thanks to everyone involved.

Days of social isolation to finish the thesis. A great experience 🤓🤩

Paper alert! Almost two years after #Botany 2021, where we conceived the idea, our study on the #altitudinal distribution of insect- and vertebrate-pollinated plants in the Americas is out American Naturalist Dr. Stacey D. Smith Carrie Wessinger Ash Hamilton doi.org/10.1086/725017 #pollination

I am beyond thrilled to share with you the second paper from my Master's thesis! I'm very proud of it and also so grateful for my advisors and coauthors for helping me develop such a cool work. Special thanks to the 2 reviewers and editor Renske Onstein!
