I've been using a free UC Davis plant biology textbook for my general botany class, and students liked it shorturl.at/uFzUL. However, I am not allowed to use it going forward unless it is made accessible. Anyone has contact information for the UC Davis botany folks to discuss making it accessible?

A phylogeny showing that Drosera anglica (2n = 40) has a subgenome from the Drosera linearis (2n = 20) lineage and a subgenome from the Drosera rotundifolia (2n = 20) lineage with photos of Drosera linearis with long, narrow leaves, Drosera rotundifolia with wider than round leaves, and Drosera linearis with intermediate, oblong leaves.

New pre-print from the lab on the natural history, phylogenomics, and allopolyploidy of North American Drosera. This work was from the pre-COVID field work graduate student Rebekah Mohn did in peatlands across the US and fell into muddy pits many, many times.
