¿Te interesan las áreas megadiversas? En ellas el paisaje puede estar dominado por muy pocas especies (hiperdominancia). Te proponemos un TFM en el RJB @csic.es para explorar este fenómeno en el género de leguminosas 𝘈𝘥𝘦𝘯𝘰𝘤𝘢𝘳𝘱𝘶𝘴 DC. (JAEINT25_EX_0917) @sebot.bsky.social @jovenesbotanica.bsky.social

Original illustrations of the two fossils belonging to Parnassiinae. Illustrations of †Doritites bosniaskii on the left were made by Rebel (1898), and illustrations of †Thaites ruminiana on the right were made by Scudder (1875)

Our article on the evolution of Apollo butterflies just got published in @ssbbulletin.bsky.social 🦋 We investigate how using total-evidence dating with the two Parnassiinae fossils reshapes their age and historical biogeography. 🌍 @cnrs.bsky.social #ISEM #evolution

Remembering the cool moments from last year, I want to share this shot of the entrance to a Lepidotrigona nest.
