Thrilled to share our latest paper out in @Ecology_Letters!
We show that mutualisms impact trait evolution BEYOND the traits involved in the interaction.
Specialised mutualisms tend to stabilise traits, while generalist mutualisms favour change.

For the first time ever, I am formally appealing a grant rejection from @NSERC_CRSNG. They declined my grant on an absurd technicality that honestly I would never have expected from @NSERC_CRSNG, a funding agency I respect and have worked hard for 1/n
