Oh, that’s so frustrating!

Also at the poster session, Malo Archambault is presenting on the impact of urbanization on 🌱 taxonomic and functional diversity using a large collection of community surveys from northeastern North America.
He is showing that geographic distance among sites affects the patterns.

At the #CSEE2025 poster session, go and see @sufflox.bsky.social poster on the conservation genetics of Jaccob’s ladder (Polemonium vanbruntiae). 🌱
She’s interested in measuring the extent of clonal structure in population using genomics.

You have to come and see the talk of @jeromeburkiewicz.bsky.social that will test if urbanization affects natural selection by pollinator on flower shape.

Tuesday morning at the #CSEE2025, you don’t want to miss @stephinscience.bsky.social that will be talking about how urbanization structures plant reproductive strategies using an impressive collection of plant community surveys.

I also encourage you to attend the symposium organized by Isaac Eckert: Turning over a new leaf: the rapidly growing role of natural history collections in modern biodiversity science. 🧪

Today at the #CSEE2025, I’ll be presenting results from former PhD student Marion Leménager.
She tested the hypothesis that pollination generalists should have greater diversification rates in islands ecosystems. 🧪

But the most irritating part is announcing “the rebirth of the once extinct dire wolf, the world’s first successfully de-extincted animal”. This is an over statement, to put it mildly. 15 gene edits are clearly not enough to change a gray wolf into a dire wolf, two species that diverged 2.5 mya.

One think I don’t like much is this approach of publishing science in the form of a press release. Science is really cool, but the data is not presented adequately and not available.

Not sure what to think about the efforts to de-extinct dire wolves (and other animals), but I have to say that it is very impressive what science can do!
Who would have thought that this would have been possible only a decade ago!
