Glad to finally be able to share this paper! We found that epiphytes and their close relatives tend to have small range sizes, meaning a high proportion are likely to be at risk of extinction www.nature.com/articles/s41...

This sounds like such a cool undergrad research opportunity!
The Morton Arboretum REU program now accepting applications! My lab will be hosting a student to develop a project using morphometrics to investigate how "typical" type specimens are in a fascinating clade of Mexican white oaks.
