Also at the poster session, Malo Archambault is presenting on the impact of urbanization on 🌱 taxonomic and functional diversity using a large collection of community surveys from northeastern North America.
He is showing that geographic distance among sites affects the patterns.

At the #CSEE2025 poster session, go and see @sufflox.bsky.social poster on the conservation genetics of Jaccob’s ladder (Polemonium vanbruntiae). 🌱
She’s interested in measuring the extent of clonal structure in population using genomics.

You have to come and see the talk of @jeromeburkiewicz.bsky.social that will test if urbanization affects natural selection by pollinator on flower shape.

Today at the #CSEE2025, I’ll be presenting results from former PhD student Marion Leménager.
She tested the hypothesis that pollination generalists should have greater diversification rates in islands ecosystems. 🧪

Le colloque du CSBQ c’est terminé avec un panel très relevé sur le rôle des statistiques vs. l’intelligence artificielle en écologie et évolution. Les panélistes @comecology.bsky.social, Andrew MacDonald et David Rolnick ont présenté les enjeux d’une façon dés divertissante et pertinente!

This morning at #QCBS2025, Sean Hoban from the Morton Arboretum is presenting simple indicators for assessing genetic diversity in order to inform conservation.
He shows that genetic indicators are feasible and helpful!

[1/4] What is the status of plant conservation in Canada? 🌿
In this study led by JL McCune, we surveyed 243 practitioners in plant conservation, ecology or evolution to answer the question.
We came up with seven recommendations.

Québec créé le parc national Nibiischii, dont l'exploitation sera assurée par la Première Nation crie de Mistissini.
Il protège ainsi le lac Mistassini, qui est le plus grand lac naturel du Québec!

Br. Liogier made nice contributions to the Gesneriaceae of Hispaniola. He described Gesneria quisqueyana and G. sylvicola in the 70's. They were put in synonymy (G. viridiflora), but we showed using morphometrics and genetics that they are distinct species.

I really appreciate the work put in some herbarium specimens. Here Brother Alain Liogier added a colour photograph on this paratype of Gesneria quisqueyana from 1968. It helps to appreciate the form of the flower, likely pollinated by bats and hummingbirds.
