Happy to see this finally out! Diego is a brilliant student that took our grad course on Macroevolution during lockdown, and this eventually escalated to me becoming a co-author in his PhD chapter.

Interaction between floral rewards and floral symmetry shapes diversification dynamics in Amazonian trees

Floral zygomorphy, or monosymmetry, is thought to have a positive effect on the diversification rates of angiosperms, but its true impact is still an open topic. Given the controversy surrounding th...

He combined floral anatomy, pollination-related traits and diversification rates of a very important amazonian tree group to show that a combination of two floral traits is related to changes in the diversification dynamics, likely in association with other unknown traits.

Yours truly and our mounted Great Auk (Pinguinus impennis) specimen

The bird collection store, busy with visiting researchers, mounts, and in the background our volunteers who capture data from the specimen labels. It's not always this packed, but we do have a fair number of volunteers and visitors.

Blue Tits (Cyanistes caeruleus) in trays in the cabinets. The collections spaces are pretty new, fresh, and functional, which is not always the case for museum collections...

A tray of African raptor eggs to illustrate the breadth of the bird collection, which holds som 70K skin specimens, 60K egg clutches, and 10K skeletons.

How do ecological communities respond to pulse perturbations (e.g. storms, wildfires)? We have a solid theory for stable fixed points, but what about cycles, transients, or chaos? In this preprint, we introduce a unified framework for these nonequilibrium cases. 1/7
