Very important paper and resource. Bryophyte genomes expanded by one order of magnitude. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Bryophytes hold a larger gene family space than vascular plants - Nature Genetics
A super-pangenome analysis incorporating 123 newly sequenced bryophyte genomes reveals that bryophytes exhibit a larger number of unique and lineage-specific gene families than vascular plants.

I'm so proud to share that my student Mythri has published her BSc thesis work! Mythri was super interested in plant-acid interactions, she found that specific acid types matter to plants, not just pH.
This is the 1st paper from work done in my own lab 🙂

Severe #droughts are causing concern for #wildfires in #NovaScotia 🇨🇦. The hiking ban includes #forests, #barrens & #peatlands. I hear mixed opinions on whether to pause #fieldwork or seek exemptions and carry on. As a #PI with students part-way through their thesis projects, what would you do?

What are my students doing these days? Botanizing & more botanizing! I have such a great team of students this summer - fieldwork in Nova Scotia & Ontario & on-campus experiments. Beautiful herbarium vouchers & data so far. I’ll be using this platform to highlight them & their important work 🍃

COP15 of the Ramsar Convention starts today. Here in Canada we have the privilege of being home to a quarter of the world's remaining wetlands. Let's not forget what a treasure they are.

Coastal fieldwork is magic. The fog rolled in so thick, I could almost hold it in my hands. So many blooms and berries this week!

The legacy of #acidrain still impacts lakes in SW #NovaScotia. Would liming #restoration help or hurt sensitive #Atlantic Coastal Plain lakeshore #flora? MSc Summer C is going to find out! We spent yesterday setting up transects for her field experiment in an acidified #lake @smuscience.bsky.social

Wow - the science behind the updated plant hardiness map for #Canada rdcu.be/evpvj. Largest changes in the west/northwest mostly due to warmer temperatures. No changes in some areas, but #Halifax (south-central NS) sees a 0.5 zone increase, changing rain patterns contributing. planthardiness.gc.ca

Proud of my grad student Rachel Kendall for this #peatland #plant #traits paper! Contrasting responses to climate & geography among shrub, sedge & #moss species. A fun project that connected across provinces & labs @wetland-ghg.bsky.social @wetlandresilienceresearchgroup.com @smuscience.bsky.social
