Campanula makes it in the news! 😀
Biodiversity is everywhere — including near you!
May 22 is the International Day for Biological Diversity, and from May 15–31 we're inviting you to celebrate by paying closer attention to your nearby nature. 🧵⤵️
Excited to share our review in @cp-trendsecolevo.bsky.social , where we synthesize 20 years of rear-edge evolutionary research!

If you are curious about my work but want a more digestible version than my papers, check out this neat feature by the UVA arts and science news!

I am obviously a biased source, but there's a reason why Evolution still has a substantial virtual component to the conference. And the combination of very low fees plus some headline events is a whole lot of that.
New UVA research shows centuries-old plant populations hold genetic “memory” that helps species survive drought and stress. These old-growth communities are living archives of climate resilience

New paper out in Evolution Letters! @evolletters.bsky.social We explore the legacy of past warming at the rear edge of Campanula americana. Spoiler alert: we did not find higher drift load as often expected at the rear edge, but strong local adaptation!

New paper out in Journal of Biogeography! We explore the heterogeneous evolutionary history of the rear edge of the North American plant Campanula americana

Head's up SSE members: Virtual Evolution is next week!
Join us for the SSE Presidential Symposium on May 21 for talks from SSE leaders and past presidents on sustaining research, supporting trainees, navigating funding uncertainty, and strengthening evolutionary biology.
Pls RT!
Aim Warmer range limits of species distributions offer a window into the ecological and evolutionary processes associated with long-term warming, as they often harbour relicts of refugial population...
If you're interested but haven't registered, the virtual meeting is *very* cost effective, ranging from $10 for students to $40 for professional non-members!

Rear-edge populations may not be evolutionary dead ends after all. Campanula americana shows strong local adaptation to warming climates despite reduced genetic diversity. doi.org/10.1093/evle... @perrierecoevo.bsky.social Image credit Wikimedia
