Hot off the press @nature: Assembly of functional diversity in an oceanic island flora Team effort led by Paola Barajas Barbosa We present a detailed analysis of plant functional traits & diversity of an entire oceanic flora, #Tenerife, Canary Islands. rdcu.be/dgGfN 1/n

R2: We divided the island flora into species groups associated w/ distinct biogeogr. distributions & histories. Results suggest colonization via long-distance dispersal & interplay between inter-island dispersal & archipelago-level speciation drive trait space expansion. 5/

Important new study shows current real-world pesticide exposure reduces bumble bee growth and production across Europe.

Now that our paper on species concepts is out, it's time to update an old tweet on the XCKD paper title meme. Wayne Maddison #SpeciesConcepts [doi.org/10.18061/bssb.…]

🐝📰New study by the FLOWer Lab 🌸🍒 🐝 🪰🔬🧬, led by Catarina Siopa in Journal of Applied Ecology sheds light on the critical role of #pollinators in #crop production by showing that pollinator dependence values across various crops and cultivars is underestimated🌻🐝 besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/13…
