Examples of pollen dispersal units in the studied groups (Mimosa and Stryphnodendron clades).

🌺New paper out in @annbot.bsky.social, addressing the morphological disparity of aggregated pollen in mimosoid plants!
We found that disparification in the studied groups was mainly driven by morphological innovation and lineage-specific history, not by habitat. academic.oup.com/aob/article-...

Very excited to share our new investigation conducted by Luciano Pozzobon. Here, we describe a multiple-sex chromosome system Z1Z1Z2Z2/Z1Z2W in two boobies species (Sula datylatra and S. leucogaster).
