This paper presents the first high-quality reference genome for Scalesia gordilloi, a critically endangered plant, using Oxford Nanopore sequencing to enable conservation and comparative genomics studies.

The paper documents a novel case of plant crypsis in devils gardens, showing that Palicourea alba mimics dead leaf litter to persist within ant-plant mutualisms.

This paper introduces a drone-based workflow and open-source software to capture ultra-high resolution canopy photos for tropical forest studies, enabling accurate taxonomic identification.

This study evaluates citizen scientists' ability to count Galapagos marine iguanas from drone images, finding high accuracy with proper aggregation methods and image quality filtering.

The paper examines TE accumulation in Scalesia species and finds no significant variation despite hybridization and niche shifts, challenging the role of TEs in diversification.
