ALT Chinedum Anajemba, a graduate student and member of BSA, sits on a rocky outcrop under a bright blue sky. Next to him is a quote describing the impact of the J.S. Karling Graduate Student Research Award, which supported his research on polyploidy in ferns and affirmed the importance of his work. The Botanical Society of America logos are in the bottom corner of the image.

ALT Graphic promoting Botany 2025 in Palm Springs, CA, taking place July 25-31, 2025. The tagline reads "Botany Without Barriers" against a bright blue sky with tall palm trees. Logos of supporting societies are displayed along the bottom, including the Botanical Society of America, American Fern Society, ASPT, Society of Herbarium Curators, IAPT, and ABLS.
ALT Summary bipartite network diagram showing mistletoe-host interactions across all Australian showy mistletoe genera. The top half displays host orders, each colored by major seed plant clade: asterid orders in shades of red, rosid orders in blue, basal eudicots in yellow, magnoliids in green, and conifers in brown. Dilleniales is marked in orange and Santalales in lime green. Tick marks represent increments of 100 observations.
ALT Watercolor illustration portraying seven tropical tree species growing in French Guianan forests: Eperua falcata Aubl., Iryanthera hostmannii (Benth.) Warb., Jacaranda copaia subsp. copaia Aubl., Pterocarpus officinalis Jacq., Symphonia globulifera L.f., Tachigali melinonii (Harms) Zarucchi & Herend, and Virola surinamensis (Rol. ex Rottb.) Warb. These species thrive in seasonally flooded forests, a unique and understudied ecosystem. (Image credit: Antia Iglesias, artist and PhD.)
ALT This image shows Emma Fetterly and the following quote, "The GSRA had a huge impact on my research, allowing me to explore new questions and expand my project in exciting ways. With the award funds, I was able to do additional fieldwork and even bring an undergraduate student along to gain hands-on experience. I’m grateful to be part of a community that supports and values student research, thank you BSA!"

ALT This study used an optimized qPCR protocol to show high host-specificity in foliar endophyte colonization levels along a successional gradient.
ALT Representative images of an Oxalis debilis (A) and Chamaecrista fasciculata (B), with a black arrow pointing to the pulvini in each respective image. Images of a leaf in which a single embolism event that propagated through the pulvini is shown in color (C and D) with the corresponding water potential at which the embolism events occurred. All embolism events across the leaf were color-coded by the water potential at which they were observed (E and F). For each species, a color scale (G and H) depicting the water potential with each embolism event that occurred is shown below the corresponding image.
