Thanks @KenThompson for visiting us in Stockholm today! Awesome talk on the ecology of hybrid incompatibilities in , , , , and hopefully adding to the collection soon!

My first lead-author paper is now up on ! We characterized genomic divergence and postmating reproductive isolation in a cute but understudied group of ( , aka ) and found strong isolation caused by hybrid seed inviability as well as a case of unilateral postmating prezygotic isolation and some hybrid male sterility.

Day 2 started out at Taroom, QLD, from which we headed north to look at a site with an old record of an interesting variety of gracilis. It was not at the location we were looking for, but then Bill told me to pull over and he immediately found the thing on the side of the road. Here is him being very excited about seeing this plant for the first time in the field.

Felted a inspired by these adorable happy face phenotypes. Usually there’s only light scattered red dots on guttatus (syn. Erythranthe guttata) but some pops have a stronger red dot... and some individuals look like this!

Hey Mastodon! A brief of myself. I am a Ph.D. candidate at Tulane University. My work focuses on how respond to and are influenced by plant leaf traits in and in . Specially how endopytes can alter leaf traits and help plants respond to and . I've also worked with in coffee . I'm more and more excited about the possibilities of in creating just and equitable spaces.

Hi! Time to reintroduce myself. I’m an evolutionary interested in and , especially when it involves color traits! My work has focused on lizards and monkeyflowers. Besides research, I like running, hiking, camping, kayaking, climbing, and dabbling in art and crafts. In academia, I really value kindness and inclusivity. Looking forward to connecting with everyone on here!
