Thrilled to share this study by Jacob Suissa, Fay-Wei Li, and me published today in @NatureComms "Convergent evolution of fern nectaries facilitated independent recruitment of ant-bodyguards from flowering plants" www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Convergent evolution of fern nectaries facilitated independent recruitment of ant-bodyguards from flowering plants - Nature Communicationswww.nature.com Some plants use nectar to attract ant bodyguards. Here, the authors use a cross-kingdom phylogenetic approach to find that ferns and angiosperms evolved nectaries in the Cretaceous, coinciding with an...

We used this to help start our own course - such a great resource! We will also be teaching it in spring 24 - ours is team taught by volunteers.

So excited to be teaching my Science Behind Bias in STEM course again this spring! If you want to teach a similar course we share our resources and even a paper we published on how to teach similar courses in any discipline: blogs.cornell.edu/moreaulab/sc...
