@D_Sushi1 nailed his first evolution conference sharing his work on biotic disjunction in Symphyotrichum!

@dexcemp presenting his recent work on edaphic island using Heuchera parviflora complex as model system #Evolution2025

Congrats to @D_Sushi1 for passing his candidacy exams! 🌱

🥰😭🤩

@kieralreefs thank uu kier!!

@dexcemp Congraaats, Dex! 👏

the press to my herbarium specimen

-fungal diversity was significantly influenced by aridity and precipitation while bacterial diversity was consistent across host taxa and environmental variables measured. (3/3)

-bacterial communities were more similar in more closely related host taxa while fungal communities were more similar in geographically closer hosts; and (2/3)

NEW PAPER OUT! Assessing drivers of leaf endophyte diversity and composition across a broad geographic and phylogenetic scale, we found that: -assembly patterns differed between bacterial and fungal endophytes; (1/3)

lunchin with my siblings

Something new every day in the lab...

I got to meet the pollinators of the Heuchera parviflora group in my 2-week field work across eastern US!
