New fellowship achieved. TreEsilience: Global patterns of intraspecific variation in tree resilience to drought

Lucía DeSoto has been recently granted with a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Individual Fellowship to carry out TreEsilience project. TreEsilience aims using tree rings to investigate the role of local adaptation in determining intraspecific variation in tree resilience to drought.

Molecular phylogeny and evolutionary history of Moricandia DC (Brassicaceae)

Molecular phylogeny and evolutionary history of Moricandia DC (Brassicaceae)

We present in this paper a molecular phylogeny of the genus Moricandia (Brassicaceae). We have found that a Spanish population previously ascribed to Rytidocarpus moricandioides is indeed a Moricandia species, and we propose to name it as M. rytidocarpoides sp. nov. In addition, M. foleyi appeared outside the Moricandia lineage but within the genus Eruca. Therefore, M. foleyi should be excluded from the genus Moricandia and be ascribed to the genus Eruca.
