Our study on Taiwanese and Japanese Balanophora is finally on bioRxiv!

We studied the entire known Taiwan population for three years across #Taiwan Proper and Lanyu (Orchid Island), finding that individuals complete their life cycle within one year.
We discuss implications on ecological/genetic research & suggest that we should consider the genus to be annual.
