Interested in flower color evolution? Geographic clines which might be due to selection or drift, or both? Check out this work by @katiemaunder.bsky.social and Chris Eckert. Super excited to see how this has developed.

A glamorous end to the field season!
Note to self: the average SUV is in fact not big enough to transport 2500 samples of Hesperis matronalis

First time at Evolution! Just gave a talk on flower colour variation and urban clines.
Excited to actually listen to talks today instead of just mentally running through my slides!
