Spatial isolation drives #genetic 🧬 differentiation more strongly than #flower colour 🌼🌺in an #endemic bee-pollinated snapdragon - differentiation occurs within meters in a heterogenous habitat. Old postdoc work with @pablovargas1111.bsky.social finally published! doi.org/10.1093/aobp...

The tropical timber tree angelique, Dicorynia guianensis, is locally adapted to the east-west rainfall gradient in French Guiana! Congrats to Julien Bonnier for publishing this PhD chapter in Molecular Ecology! doi.org/10.1111/mec....

Wet Season Environments Drive Local Adaptation in the Timber Tree Dicorynia guianensis in French Guiana

The vast tropical rainforests of the Guiana Shield in Northern South America play a vital role in maintaining the region's ecological balance and economy. Increasing pressure from selective logging, ...

Convention sur la Diversité Biologique : mieux évaluer pour prévenir la perte de la biodiversité

En janvier, le secrétariat de la Convention sur la diversité biologique (CBD) a publié la première version de son « cadre mondial pour la biodiversité après 2020 ». Dans un article publié en mars 2020 dans Science, des scientifiques de plusieurs universités et instituts de recherche autour du globe, dont l’université de Bordeaux et INRAE, alertaient que les objectifs et indicateurs proposés dans ce document négligeaient la diversité génétique – l’élément de base de l’évolution et de toute la diversité biologique (1). Dans un nouvel article publié en août dans la revue Biological Conservation (2), les scientifiques proposent trois nouveaux indicateurs génétiques, ainsi que des modifications des objectifs et indicateurs actuels de la Convention sur la Diversité Biologique (CDB).
