Posted especially for Mike’s mother. Photo taken August 5, 2023, in the headwaters of Hayfork Creek, Trinity County, Northern California of what looks like a Musk Monkeyflower. These are tiny flowers but seem to “stand” tall with its brilliant yellow color. #flower #wildflowers #monkeyflowers

The demographic history of Yucca valida has been shaped by climatic-driven habitat fragmentation in the Baja California Peninsula. Extensive genetic sampling across the species range revealed three distinct lineages separated by a significant geographical gap, suggesting restricted gene flow. These patterns of genetic differentiation were likely driven by genetic drift and isolation during the Pleistocene glacial cycles. This tree represents an iconic species of the region and provides key insights into how climatic changes have influenced the evolutionary history of North America's flora.

Short-term fluctuating and long-term divergent selection on sympatric Monkeyflowers: insights from decade-spanning reciprocal transplants bioRxiv - the preprint server for biology, operated by Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, a research and educational institution

Excited to share yet another Ferris Lab preprint with y'all! This one from @carolinedong.bsky.social uses 5 repeated reciprocal transplants to test how fluctuating selection affects divergence between sympatric #Monkeyflowers on different time scales.
