New paper just posted with @rschley.bsky.social et al: doi.org/10.1111/nph.... (1/n)

Allowing proportion (or alpha) to be free in our models allows us to use nQuack to estimate mode of inheritance - which is exactly what @rschley.bsky.social did in our new paper. Check it out here: doi.org/10.1111/nph.... (4/n)

Moreover, we find that polyploid species have more loci under positive selection, particularly in genes relating to chemical defence against herbivores, a key ecological pressure on tropical trees 🐛

🌿Excited to share our new study in New Phytologist! 🌿
Polyploidy is a major force in plant evolution, but is understudied in the tropics. We find that polyploidy evolved multiple times in Inga, a characteristic Neotropical tree radiation (1/n) 🧵.
