Cheers to Andrea and Robin! Check out their paper on floral morphology published in Frontiers in Plant Science journal.
Cheers to Andrea and Robin for their new paper out in Frontiers in Plant Science journal. The paper discusses the North American red-flowering Silene. Check it out here!
Christina joins the lab!
We are excited to welcome Christina Steinecke to the lab! Christina will be working in the lab as a graduate student and concentrating on speciation, major transitions and selfing. We are excited to have her become part of the our lab family!
