Home and garden tips - West River Eagle

Greetings, everyone, and thanks for your continued following. For so many of us, it’s been challenging this year to figure out the family food budget like never before. For those of you growing gardens or in some way involved in a co-op garden, here are some ideas for crops to consider for a second planting. I will also go over <a href="https://www.westrivereagle.com/articles/home-and-garden-tips-54/">[…]</a>

am super excited to share some of my findings this week at #Evol2023. Stop by the Ecology session at 10:15am, Sunday, June 25, to find out how leaf traits and elevation influence fungal symbionts in monkeyflowers. #monkeyflowers #endophytes

Last weekend: in its most happiest habitat, predominantly here are Yellow Monkeyflowers within massive rocks at Pinnacles National Park, California. #MonkeyFlowers #PinnaclesNationalPark

#Monkeyflowers glow in a rich assortment of colors, from yellow to pink to deep red-orange. But about 5 million years ago, some of them lost their yellow. #Botanists explain what happened genetically to jettison the yellow pigment, and the implications for the #evolution of species.

Yellow evolution: Unique genes led to new species of monkeyflower

Monkeyflowers glow in a rich assortment of colors

My first lead-author paper is now up on #Bioarxiv ! We characterized genomic divergence and postmating reproductive isolation in a cute but understudied group of #monkeyflowers ( #Mimulus, aka #Diplacus ) and found strong isolation caused by hybrid seed inviability as well as a case of unilateral postmating prezygotic isolation and some hybrid male sterility.

In a fitting conclusion to the trip, the last stretch of road was the Allan Cunningham Road, which, according to Bill, was named after a #botanist who had travelled through the region 200 years prior collecting the same #monkeyflowers. His work had left a two century mystery about these species that Bill hopes our latest trip will help resolve.

Regardless, I have now learned new and amazing things about #Evolution in this family of plants, which will help make it a model clade.

Hey Mastodon! A brief #introduction of myself. I am a Ph.D. candidate at Tulane University. My work focuses on how #endophytes respond to and are influenced by plant leaf traits in #tropicalforest and in #mimulus #monkeyflowers. Specially how endopytes can alter leaf traits and help plants respond to #herbivore and #pathogens. I've also worked with #ants in coffee #agroecosystems. I'm more and more excited about the possibilities of #data in creating just and equitable spaces. #BoricuainSTEM
