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!

I was so excited when I saw this one! Pterostylis recurva - the jug greenhood. Only just processing photos now… a year later 🤣

Spent a few days camping before coming back to the office to run ridiculously long run-time analyses. Camping was better. Enjoy this Platanthera orbiculata orchid.

I always underestimate how long it takes to submit a manuscript. I mean, why would anyone think it takes 2.5 hrs to upload some files?
Anyway, let’s celebrate that small win with this orchid pic!

Just heard @erc.europa.eu will increase funding for grantees relocating to #Europe. Researchers based in the US or elsewhere in the world, can apply for €1 million beyond the usual max amount to set up a lab or #research team, if scientifically justified. Now to be €2 million.

Really proud of the team I am working with at the moment. We attended an ‘ideas lab’ & pulled together a solid set of ideas into something that could help the future of biodiversity in BC. We did it all in the crazy timeframe of two weeks.
No matter the outcome, the effort from the team was huge.
