So excited to share our recent @NewPhyt paper on #evolution of #mimulus #leaf traits in response to #drought (1/n) @rangelimits

Regional differences in leaf evolution facilitate photosynthesis following severe drought

Characterizing physiological and anatomical changes that underlie rapid evolution following climatic perturbation can broaden our understanding of how climate change is affecting biodiversity. It ...

The worst part of being disabled is all the bs hoops and bureaucratic nonsense that the non-disabled do to us. So really the ableds shouldn’t be scared of us or becoming us, but rather scared of themselves.
