Remember the Magic Eye books of the 90s?? Now, you can have a crack at viewing New Zealand’s native flowers in 3D. Clematis, orchid, ngutukākā, korukoru, oioi… this is a luscious, spectacular feature by @rebekahwhite.bsky.social, based on the new book He Puāwai by @theobrominated.bsky.social

Magic flora
Philip Garnock-Jones has spent more than a decade photographing our native flowers as they’ve never been shown before: in luscious, three-dimensional detail.

A deletion at the X-linked ARHGAP36 gene locus is associated with the orange coloration of tortoiseshell and calico cats
The X-linked orange locus is responsible for the orange coat color of domestic cats, including tortoiseshell and calico cats, and is proposed to be subject to random X chromosome inactivation. Here, T...

One of *the most impactful programs* from my society was terminated by NSF, but we will not let the program just die like this. We will get through this storm and become stronger, because we have a great community to rely on! Donate if you're able, any bit helps. #iamabotanist #supportPLANTS 🧪🌱🌾🌸

Really excited to say that my lab's paper on color transitions in Mimulus sect. Erythranthe is out! We found that some traits demonstrate evolutionary convergence in phenotype & genotype, while others are divergent, & that - as Bob Vickery found - bees prefer yellow! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Within-species floral evolution reveals convergence in adaptive walks during incipient pollinator shift - Nature Communications
During evolution, how adaptive walks cross fitness valleys remains unclear. This integrative study on monkeyflowers reveals that convergence in large steps (floral color and gene expression) drives a ...
