Thank you for the kind words! 🌼🌱

4. Thanks to all the editors at newphyt.bsky.social who were involved in the review and publishing process! In particular @jvamosi.bsky.social

3. The increase in polyploid frequency with latitude could be explained by patterns in plant reproduction, especially the frequency of self-reproduction, rather than higher tolerance to abiotic stress as commonly suggested.

2. 🧵Different processes that facilitate polyploid establishment on their own often co-vary negatively with each other, making associations difficult to find and causal frameworks essential. doi.org/10.1111/nph....

That is cool! Certainly more work is needed to grasp bee conservation, and a synthesis is needed!

The population is monitoried some, but there is no restoration. It also appears to be grazed, so some protection effort may help. It is on the border to Norway where they have some more populations but they have been in decline.

Would that not be a dream project?! 🤪

We could/should just call it realized outcrossing rates. Regardless of opinions about pollinators. It carries confusion and ”system” really means something else in any other context. A system where e.g rain impacts the outcome makes no sense :)

Indeed. It is a confusing terminology (see it misused alot). ”System” refers to a property of something, of which the outcome may be affected by the environment. But the environment is not a part of the system. It may seem nitpicky but this term affect how biologists think about pollination alot.
