An interesting scientific paper on #Gilliesieae (#Amaryllidaceae), which have a limited distribution in #Chile, Argentina, Bolivia, and Peru. The authors N. García and Miersia (2026) describe four #newspecies of genera #Gilliesia and #Miersia. All species are found only in specific regions of Chile and are therefore #endemic. The authors also amplified and sequenced #DNA sequences to reconstruct the #phylogenetic positions of the new species. #Biodiversityresearch

@PaleoParaDive #Postdoc #Introduction Karina Vanadzina joined our team in Oktober. #She has a wide #experience with #phylogenetic #comparative methods and #macroecological analyses which she will use to investigate how #parasites and their #hosts respond to changing #Climate. She recently completed her #PhD @ St Andrews, UK, where she worked on the #evolution of #parentalcare in #vertebrates.

Belatedly, I am a plant systematist at The Morton #Arboretum, with active projects in #oaks (#phylogenetics / #phylogenomics, #hybridization, #introgression, genetic and functional #diversity), #prairies (effects of #phylogenetic and functional diversity on #restoration outcomes), #sedges (#genome and #chromosome evolution), and other plant groups. I also tweet on #botany and #NaturalHistory of the #Chicago region and other areas. Meet my lab at: https://systematics.mortonarb.org
