In the field today in Florida with my collaborators, Chris B and @andreacase.bsky.social. This site might not look like much but it has 3 Lobelia species and a hybrid. The state mows the edge, but these species send out side branches from the cut stem—cut and come again. Roadside botany rules!

We have a copy but my partner is reading it first. Can't wait to dive in. For the record, Oren wrote "The Price of Altruism," a completely compelling documentation of George Price's search for an understanding of altruism and selfishness. Get a copy of both!
Very excited for the arrival of Oren Harman’s latest book.
Few combine deep knowledge of the history of biology with such compelling writing.

I'm looking to recruit a PhD student to study patterns of local adaptation and introgression across the spruce hybrid zone in the Rockies near Calgary. Projects can include field work, bioinformatics, pop gen theory, or comparison to plant/ conifer species

The buff-tip moth (Phalera bucephala) has mastered a very particular kind of camouflage.
When they close their wings up, they resemble a broken twig.
Native to large parts of Europe, there's regional pattern variation that reflects the local tree species. This one best resembles birch twigs?
