So we've have been kicking it around and there is nothing like trying. We're going to stand up a #Fediverse instance for our area of #Wanaka and #Hawea and see what our community can make of it. Best case vision we have is an #enshitification free that allows for harm free community […]

Ecological speciation in sympatric palms: 5. Evidence for pleiotropic speciation genes using gene knockout and high-throughput phenotyping Abstract. Theoretical models predict that sympatric, ecological speciation may be facilitated more readily when so-called ‘magic traits’ are present, linki

Magic traits may assist sympatric #Ecological speciation, but few examples exist & evidence for their role is rare. Yet, this study found #pleiotropy affected soil preference & flowering time in #Hawea, consistent with speciation!
