Congrats Robin! Check out her paper on Hybridization and Introgression published in Annals of Botany.
Cheers to Robin and her collaborators for their new paper out in Annals of Botany, which discusses how hybridization and introgression are prevalent in Southern European Erysimum (Brassicaceae) species. Check it out here!
Cheers to Grace and Robin! Find out the missing link between plants and their pollinators.
Congrats to Grace and Robin on their new paper published in American Journal of Botany, which discusses connecting the structure of plant and pollinator population. Check it out here!
