🏝️Plants follow the island rule for leaf size: small-leaved mainland species grow bigger on islands, large-leaved species shrink, producing no net change overall. Herbivory & climate had little effect @xMoreira2 🔍Article: buff.ly/Gd5sazI 📰Blog: buff.ly/WEpau1Z

Serpentine soils naturally have few nutrients & lots of heavy metals—a new #OpenAccess Report considers how these rough conditions shape ecosystems from California to Sweden⬇️

@BenjaminAdroit @ThePlantJournal @SEBiology @wileyinresearch Congrats, Ben!

🎉 Excited to share our new paper on the genetics of #Parrotia is finally out! See in @ThePlantJournal This project was a long journey with a fantastic team, shedding new light on the evolution of this “living fossil.” onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/tp…

@BenjaminAdroit That said, these results are based on a single study system in the Canary Islands. We are now working on a larger comparative study across 19 island–mainland systems worldwide, where both insect herbivory and plant chemistry vary substantially between islands and mainlands.

@BenjaminAdroit Hi Ben! we found that island residence time did not influence overall phytochemical diversity, but it did affect the presence of some specific compounds.
