Our last contribution to the knowledge of the #gypsum flora of Mexico. Dahlia gypsicola sp. nov. is a subshrub that has succulent leaves (very rare for the genus) . It inhabits very isolated gypsum outcrops in Oaxaca. You can download the paper here abm.ojs.inecol.mx/index.php/abm/…

The new issue of CAPITULUM is out and this really great special edition is devoted entirely to Island Asteraceae. Check it out and plz share! #TICA #Asteraceae

Exciting preprint by Sarah_Swiston Michael Landis: a new approach for phylogenetic biogeography that relates characteristics of areas to dispersal, speciation, and extinction using #GeoSSE . Unpacked with a cool empirical example in Andean lizards!

Looking forward to seeing old friends and making new ones at #Evol2023 in Albuquerque next week!

Here's a list of talks with my collaborators, plus some of their good news shared in the margins
