While working on a proper post, I had to get rid of something puzzling on my chest.
Botanics and politics—when plant species become propaganda material

How the long arm of Chinese state doctrine has smoothly and elusively penetrated botanical #science journals.
Nach dem Wahl-O-Mat noch ein schneller Blick in den #RealOMat zur #BTW25 vor Toreschluß
Koalitionäre Knebel – der Real-O-Mat zur BTW2025

Nicht wirklich eine Wahlhilfe, aber lustige Einblicke liefert's schon. Vor allem für jene, die immer noch denken Minderheitsregierungen wären ein Problem.
Happy voting.
Besser spät als nie, das (natürlich kommentierte) #wahl_o_mat Netz zur #BTW25

Was delighted to see the figures in the other paper, they have in the pipes.
Really fascinating to put two #preprints next to each other going online shortly after each other, one (on Fagales in total) by the same batch of authors sitting as coauthors on the other (on Fagaceae), that disagree in nearly every aspect where they thematically overlap.
Will make perfect material for #NewPosts. On coauthorships and #Phylogenomics
Couldn't help a quick #CommentTo Klak et al. (2020; https://doi.org/10.11646/phytotaxa.459.2.5) regarding the notion of "confirm[ing] some previously published facts, e.g. that D. zygophylloides is sister to Drosanthemum", which we identified as likely ingroup-outgroup long-branching artefact.
Previously published facts a.k.a. branching artefacts

I pondered organisation, so my followers can make the best of Mastodon's filter option (settings -> filters).
I'll hash my posts as follows
#NewPosts—for new #blogposts on Res.I.P. and others I follow.
#OldPosts—for historical ones
#PhyloNetworks—anything #phylogenetics-ish beyond mere tree-inference
#FightTheFog—anything shrouding science (like confidential #PeerReview)
#CommentTo—post-reviews
#NotScience—for the irrelevant rest
