We recently described flower heliotropism in the white trillium and demonstrated that it provides increased fitness in this species. This study led by former undergrad student Maryane Gradito is currently in press in Botany: doi.org/10.1139/cjb-20… 🧵 1/7

Le Jardin botanique de Montréal est à la recherche d'un.e chercheur.euse en phytopathologie (au sens large). La personne choisie pourrait rejoindre les rang de l'@IRBV_Montreal et être professeure associée à l'@UMontreal. C'est un poste de rêve! ➡️ simenligne.montreal.ca/OA_HTML/OA.jsp…..

We are hiring a tenure-track professor in plant quantitative genetics at @UMontreal! 🧬🌱 You will be working at @IRBV_Montreal, on the site of the #MontrealBotanicalGarden. You don't want to miss this opportunity. Job offer: …carriere-dmz-eng.synchro.umontreal.ca/psc/rhprpr9_ca… DM me for more information.

At #ESA2024 and interested in learning about the composition of urban plant communities (and the role that traits play)? Come see my talk tomorrow at 10 am in COS059! 🌿🌳

The Joly lab at #Evol2024 today… Jérôme Burkiewicz (@J_Burkiewicz) is presenting some of his PhD work on the genetic and plastic effects of urbanization in flower chape of the jewelweed. 📌 4:15, room 525AB (Floral Evolution), Sunday 28th

Who wants to join me for an #evol2024 meet-up run 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️ tomorrow at 6am in front of the Palais des Congrès de Montréal? Comment, DM, message through the conference app, or email if interested. All levels welcome! Please RT & share with those not on Twitter/X.

Increadibly well deserved Presidents' Award for Lifetime Achievement from @systbiol awarded to Scott Edward @ScottVEdwards1 at #Evol2024!

Later today, Sufia Khader will present her project on the clonal structure and conservation of the rare plant Polemonium vanbruntiae. #Evol2024 📌 5:45, poster session 1, room 220DE 📷 : @Stephinscience

The Joly lab at #Evol2024 today… I’ll be presenting work on the impact of generalist pollination strategies on flower shape evolution 📌 9:45, room 516C, Saturday 27th

If you're looking for activities before or after the meeting, come visit our nice Botanical Garden! It is just a few metro stations from the Convention center. 📷 : Claude Lafond

Bienvenue à Montréal #Evol2024 Enjoy the Evolution Meeting and our nice city! 📷 : montrealvisitorsguide.com

I am seeing a lot of news in the press (at least in Spain) saying that botanists "have decided to get rid of all offensive names on plants". As always some media do not contrast and misinform, this is what has happened. 👇🏻

C'est décourageant! Je ne peux pas croire que l'on assiste passivement à un tel saccage environnemental. Je comprends que le contexte est complexe, mais on ne peut pas rester les bras croisés. Ce qui se passe est honteux! 🤬 lapresse.ca/affaires/2024-…

@GuillaumeLarocq @FRQ_NT Félicitations Guillaume. C’est un honneur amplement mérité après ces années de contributions exceptionnelles au sein du CSBQ!

Merci au @FRQ_NT! Je suis plus qu'honoré! Merci de supporter le travail essentiel des regroupements stratégiques et de reconnaître le role des professionnels de recherche.

@MJ_Fave @Concordia N’importe quand! Ça me ferait très plaisir!!!

@simjoly @Concordia Merci Simon! Je fais ma marche d'après-midi au moins une fois par semaine au Jardin, faudrait bien que je passe dire coucou un de ces jours!

🎆I am beyond thrilled to announce that I will be joining @Concordia Biology department as an Associate Professor in the Fall 2024! My Computational Genomics lab will use multi-omics to understand environmental and genetic contributions to human health. 🧬🧑‍💻

@phytools_liam Oh! This is awesome. I am looking forward to trying it!

Today on the blog... a phytools function to fit the discrete-state-dependent multi-rate continuous trait evolution model using the discrete approximation of Boucher & Démery (2016): blog.phytools.org/2024/06/a-phyt….

The Edwards lab (edwardslab.org) is looking for a new post-doctoral research associate to work on the phylogenomics of Montiaceae, a really cool group of plants. Email me a CV and contact info for two references – come join us!

@ehab_abouheif Congrats Ehab! We’ll deserved!

A tremendous honor ....

@evoecolab @LouBernatchez @SupportOurSci J’ai aussi eu une pensée pour lui avant-hier. Merci Marc pour ces beaux mots! 🤍

Dans le sillage du #Budget2024 et des nouvelles positives qu'il apporte aux grads/postdocs, j'aimerais prendre un moment pour rendre hommage à notre cher et regretté @LouBernatchez. Louis a cofondé #SupportOurScience et a défendu la cause jusqu'à sa mort. Merci mon ami!
