Super proud of @alyssa-phillips.bsky.social 's paper, now out on biorxiv! She resolves the origin(s) of polyploid big blue-stem, a dominant species in the midwest tall-grass prairie. Her common garden analysis also informs on environmental adaptation and hints at the impacts of polyploidy.
The origins and adaptive consequences of polyploidy in a dominant prairie grass
Polyploidy is ubiquitous across North American prairies, which provide essential ecosystem services and rich soil for agriculture. Yet the mechanism driving polyploid abundance is unclear. Multiple hy...

Congrats to #WGDip team members @tomlewin.bsky.social @dervc.bsky.social @phylogenie.bsky.social & @peterhox.bsky.social , who with their colleague @yjluo.bsky.social , provide evidence consistent with lineage-specific rediploidisation following a cryptic polyploidy event shared by all bryozoans! 🧪

Polyploidy is a major force in plant evolution, but is understudied in the tropics. We find that polyploidy evolved multiple times in Inga, a characteristic Neotropical tree radiation (1/n) 🧵.
