Sad to miss #ESEB2025 but our lab is valiantly represented by Ingo. Go see his poster today if you are interested, critical, excited, curious, bewildered by ring speciation. If that still doesn't float your boat, Birds-of-Paradise surely will!!

Ingo Müller @ingomue.bsky.social · Aug 21

If you're at #ESEB2025 drop by my poster today and let's chat about Birds-of-Paradise and their potential ring-like speciation history!
