Thank you! <3

Luke's paper also underscores the limitations and sources of error in the use of Biogeographic dating for informing species divergence times and paleogeographic models 5/5

Using flat paleogeographic priors (unknown geological models) but good biological systems, we recapitulated the timing of paleographic events. Using accurate paleographic priors but biological data whose evolution des not mirror geological history, deviated from simulated landscape scenarios. 4/5

Luke aimed to test the interaction of including good/bad/no geological priors (an accurate landscape change hypothesis, an incorrect reconstruction, or just don't know anything) and using biological data from good/bad model systems for geogenomics 3/5 bsapubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Luke aimed to test Biogeographic dating as a methodological framework for the integration of biological, paleontological and geological data to test paleogeographic hypotheses. In biogeographic dating both biological and paleogeographic data and priors are analyzed simulatneously 2/5

Position open until filled. Application review will start on October 15th

More on how the pattern we discuss follows the colonial legacy of herbaria and highlights deep-rooted inequities in scientific priorities and practices. Some of that covered here www.nature.com/articles/s41... 5/5

Biomass, and nutrient cycling, could help us better match the goals of the GBF and global initiatives like the Earth Biogenome Project. Research initiatives and funding agencies must prioritize sequencing and capacity building in biodiversity-rich tropical regions 4/5

This contradicts the goals of the Kumming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework of protecting genetic diversity and minimizing the impact of climate change. We discuss that focusing on e.g., hyperdominant tropical species which contribute disproportionately to ecosystem function … 3/5

Plant genome sequencing parallels the mismatch b/w the lat. biodiv. gradient and the geographic distribution of animal genomes (see this paper by @elinck.bsky.social) onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/.... We show that in plants this bias is magnified by focus on spp w/utilitarian value 2/5

Which botanical wonders would we study? The wonderful Podostemaceae, the only group of angiosperms living strictly in river-rapids and across the Isthmus. This botanical oddities will help us expand past work on terrestrial organisms and contribute to a more holistic understanding of floral exchange

We will integrate large-scale genetic, paleontological, and geological data to estimate the timing of plant migration through rivers across the Americas, and to develop a model for the tempo and pattern of formation of riverine connections in the region👇

By shifting the focus from terrestrial to unexplored freshwater systems, this work will provide a novel lens on plant migration and the timing of habitat connectivity across the Isthmus of Panama👇
