Nueva entrevista en MongaBay a propósito de nuestro nuevo paper sobre la boogeografía del género Weinmannia.
¡Recién publicado! 🌿 Descubrimos que Weinmannia, un género emblemático de los Andes, se originó fuera de los trópicos y migró hacia los Andes tropicales, donde se diversificó. A pesar de expandirse en altura y latitud, conserva su nicho ambiental. #Evolución #Andes #Biogeografía
Phylogeny of Weinmannia (Cunoniaceae) reveals the contribution of the southern extratropics to tropical Andean biodiversity

There are already many articles for which there is more attention on Bluesky than on other comparable micro-blogging sites, meaning the academic community and the general public have clearly adopted Bluesky as one of its core places to disseminate and discuss new research.
