First time here in the northernmost inhabited island of the Philippines. Sharing some photos of these majestic landscapes of Itbayat island, Batanes province, around 140km from Orchid island of Taiwan. Here I stand closer to my apartment in Taipei than our house in Manila 😆😭

Our Matters Arising article is now published at @npjbiodiversity. In this critique, we highlighted some deficiencies in a 2024 study on the relationship between conflict & biodiversity knowledge in Mindanao, Philippines. nature.com/articles/s4418…

This is just an overview of the works that we're doing in understanding these plants' radiation in the country as we are geared to add MORE samples from MORE islands and localities. More species dropping soon, more stories to tell, and tons of work to do. 😅 Thank you team!

We described two new species of Begonia from Eastern Mindanao, Philippines. Surprisingly, based on the initial analysis of their ITS sequences, they belong to the same clade with other species found in a much northern localities in Luzon island.

More snaps from this small island on the temperate-tropics ecotone. Majestic landscapes, intriguing biogeography! On to the next islands. See you soon, Islang Pantropiko 🥰

Snaps from Green Island (綠島), Taiwan, the northernmost island of the Luzon Volcanic Arc. From the resident island-hopper Begonia fenicis, to very wide carpets of natural bonsai Pemphis acidula, the flora of this small island (15 sqkm) definitely has a larger story to tell.

I'd like to sustain that fitmultiBM -- for fitting a discrete character dependent continuous trait evolution model (including with hidden-rates) via the approximation of Boucher & Démery (2016) -- is the most important new function in #phytools from 2024: blog.phytools.org/2024/11/fittin….

Obligatory picture of pooled samples before sequencing. Will miss working with my wetlab. Or not.

Thrilled to announce the discovery of a new Begonia species during my June-August 2024 fieldwork! Grateful for the generous support from @iaptglobal and XTBG, making this expedition possible. Begonia corazoniae Naive (2024: 3) Davao Oriental Endangered (EN)
