Adriel Sierra defended his PHD. He worked on the impact on fragmentation on plant population genomics and microbial diversity and 2) the relationship between plant metabolome and microbes. His work can be found shorturl.at/DZgCU. Congratulations to Adriel and the best of luck on the way forward. 🌿

In 2021 I started brainstorming about this study. Then, we gathered bright young and experienced biologists. We published it in November 2023. It's been cited 61 times! It's the largest phylogenomic work on bryophytes so far. bsapubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

our recent hornwort phylogenomic paper (> 230 nuclear genes) will get the cover of the journal - One of these photos will be the cover and you may see them around in conferences this year !! academic.oup.com/aob/advance-... - Photos by Juan Larraín, Patagonia, Chile. - Cute hornworts ;) !

It's always bitter-sweet to leave Panama (especially during the Northern winter). Mais, il y a des bonnes nouvelles pour le labo !

While planning my class on Conservation and Diversity 2026 (in the tropics), I visited Ecoruta Tortuga www.instagram.com/ecorutatortu... . Great research, great conservation efforts, mangroves, beautiful beaches.
