The 2026 LinneSys call is open!
Looking for a small grant for systematics work? Check us out! systass.org/linnesys/
All you need is to be a member of the @systassn.bsky.social or the @linneansociety.bsky.social
Caveat, legally, we cannot fund anyone in a country listed here: tinyurl.com/wemwtfrz
Very important read. Funding for science can be very unethical, especially when the funder is that “involved” in the research. Truly shocking (or is it….)! www.nature.com/articles/d41...
Join us in Upsala Sweden for BioSyst EU, 17th–19th August 2026, for a three-day conference celebrating European systematics and biodiversity research at its origin. Systematics and Biodiversity are proud to be an official sponsor!
A call for symposia will be coming soon.. #BioSystEU2026

Bored in the limbo between Christmas and New Year? Check out our new OA paper (the first of my PhD!) describing two new species of Coprosma (Rubiaceae). Grateful to all the colleagues in Lord Howe, Sydney, and over here in the UK who worked hard to get this out there 🌱🌏🏝️

It was an absolute pleasure to present my research at the Royal Horticultural Society’s PhD symposium yesterday! Thank you for the invitation and chance to meet some excellent botanists and horticulturalists. 🌱 🧬
So excited to finally see this paper out! Using acoustic sampling during concerts at Hampstead Heath, we showed that bat activity is reduced during concerts, with species-level differences and potential fitness implications. Fully open access with advice! 🦇 @britishecologicalsociety.org
Following his journey to Lord Howe Island to research the evolution of flora on remote oceanic systems, PhD Student @theobrook230.bsky.social sat down with us to talk about his experiences and what his research is all about 🧵

My favourite time of year! Botanical highlights from Ashridge Estate in the Chiltern this weekend. @bsbibotany.bsky.social
Good to be back! 🌱
Absolutely! 😊
Coprosma quadrifida (Labill.) Rob. in fruit at Catarct Gorge in Launceston, Tasmania
That’s brilliant, thank you! I’ll let you know - I’ve spent hours looking to no avail before I resorted to the hard copy!
Fun morning spent in the Solander Library at RBG Sydney tracking down type material. 🌱🏝️
A few highlights from Ocean Photographer of the Year at Australian National Maritime Museum @seamuseum.bsky.social. Great exhibition 🌊 ⛴️ 🐋
Help needed!! Anyone recommend a package to calculate gene-species tree discordance? I have a species tree and gene trees generated from a transcriptomic dataset. Thank you!! 🧬
Preparing for sampling from the herbarium! Excited to have received funding for a new project on the phylogenomics and systematics of Gonocarpus (Haloragaceae) in southeastern Australia and Lord Howe Island 🌱
Catching up with university challenge from Australia and was excited to see a series of bonus questions on the madder family #Rubiaceae!! Even if the coffee one was easy… ☕️🪴
Happy sunday! Thought my first post on here would be some highlights from my time so far in Australia. I’m lucky to be a visiting researcher at the Botanic Gardens of Sydney. Here I am with Coprosma quadrifida up at the Blue Mountains Botanic Garden. Some reptile highlights too! 🐍🦎
