A week of succesful science with Tobias Züst
Tobias left to Switzerland on Saturday, after being the week looking for Erysimum populations in the Baetic mountains.
Dr Tobias Züst is visiting us
Dr Tobias Züst, from University of Bern, will be stay with us from Tuesday 12th until Saturday 16th. Read more
New paper published: Kin discrimination allows plants to modify investment towards pollinator attraction
Two Evoflor’s members (José María Gómez and Rubén Torices) in collaboration with John Pannell from University of Lausanne have recently published a paper in Nature Communications showing that the self-incompatible monocarpic Moricandia moricandioides can adjust its flowering behaviour to the surrounding intraspecific social environment.

Nuevo proyecto financiado sobre plasticidad fenotípica como motor evolutivo en Moricandia
Hemos conseguido financiación para el proyecto coordinado “Plasticidad fenotípica como motor evolutivo en Moricandia“ (Proyecto MORE; CGL2017-86626). Este proyecto consta de dos subproyectos, MOREgen liderado por Francisco Perfectti en Universidad de Granada y titulado “Genética evolutiva y funcional de la plasticidad fenotípica en el género Moricandia” y MOREeco liderado por Cristina Armas y José María Gómez de la Estación Experimental de Zonas Áridas y titulado “Ecología evolutiva y funcional de la plasticidad fenotípica en el género Moricandia”

5th Evoflor meeting
We have gathered in Granada for the 5th evoflor meeting to talk about present and future projects.
Sampling a peculiar Moricandia
Within the context of the project Hidden extinctions: Losing plant diversity in Iberian arid zones as a consequence of the anthropic-mediated expansion of weeds, we sampled on 9 March 2018 individuals of the taxon Moricandia moricandioides pseudofoetida, a narrowly distributed endemism inhabiting some badlands of the Región de Murcia (SE Iberian Peninsula).
Starting the new field campaign
We have started a new field campaign visiting a Moricandia foetida population in the Desert of Tabernas (Almería). This campaign will develop part of the project Hidden extinctions: Losing plant diversity in Iberian arid zones as a consequence of the anthropic-mediated expansion of weedss.
2018 Morocco sampling trip
This time we went south, to the Antiatlas Mountains in search for Moricandia and Erysimum.
