Carex is one of the largest plant genera with over 2K sedges species >200 of which occur in South America. Check out a wonderful paper by P. Muñoz-Schüler et al including the description of the new Andean species C. guaguarum named using a Quechua word doi.org/10.1007/s122...

Detailed comparison between Carex guaguarum, C. ros-desertum and C. bonariensis. Carex guaguarum: Aa inflorescence; Ba utricles; Ca nutlet; D living specimen. Carex ros-desertum: Ab inflorescence; Bb utricles; Cb nutlet. Carex bonariensis (extracted from (Jiménez-Mejías et al. 2021): Ac inflorescence; Bc utricles.

Wrapping up a nice pair of weeks in Scotland with an express two-day visit to @thebotanics.bsky.social herbarium at beautiful Edinburgh. Sampling Asian Carex for digitization for the #iSedge project 🫶. These high-quality images will soom be available at www.cyperaceae.org/ Bye Edi!! see you soon 🌻

New study by @tribblelab.bsky.social @jimarcor.bsky.social @marcialescudero.bsky.social Michael May, Rosana Zenil-Ferguson and myself just out: Introduces a novel HiSSE chromosome model and demonstrates the importance of chrom. evol. in #sedge diversity. nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Fig. 1: The Chromosome number and Hidden State-dependent Speciation and Extinction (ChromoHiSSE) model. Panel (a) describes the event rates allowed in the model for both cladogenetic (upper) and anagenetic (lower) events. Panels (b) and (c) demonstrate those rates on a tree simulated under ChromoHiSSE. Branches that do not reach the present represent extinct, unsampled lineages. Panel (b) shows the anagenetic and cladogenetic changes in the hidden states, indicated by blue (i) vs orange (ii). Panel (c) shows the anagenetic and cladogenetic gains and losses of chromosomes, as well as speciation with no corresponding change in chromosome numbers. More red colors in (c) correspond to more chromosomes. The vertical blue and orange bars in (c) indicate clades in the blue (i) vs orange (ii) hidden states, displaying that chromosome number changes are less frequent in the blue hidden state than in the orange. The asterisk in (c) demarcates where a cladogenetic dysploidy event could appear as an anagenetic event because of unsampled lineages.

Cyperaceae are not known by their floral displays. Then one day you run into Cyperus proteus, a sedge that looks like a dandelion 😱 A striking case of mimicry to exploit insect-mediated pollination, where the anthela is modified into a colorful pseudanthium. www.inaturalist.org/observations...

We spent this past week hunting more vouchers at the @nybg.bsky.social for the core imaging of iSedge @cetaf.bsky.social project. At this point the largest herbarium in the W Hemisphere helped us reach the incredible number of 1300 sedge species previously unavailable for www.cyperaceae.org! 😍
