ALT Map of the state of New Mexico (left) within the context of North America (right). Color indicates how many plants have been collected across New Mexico in each of the gridded areas. Darker color means more collections. Overall, plant collections have not been made evenly across New Mexico.

ALT A flyer for the December 4, 2024, Polyploidy Webinar that will be at 11 AM PST on zoom. This month features Pam & Doug Soltis from the University of Florida presenting details on their new Polyploidy Integration and Innovation Institute and Trevor Faske from the US Geological Survey presenting Variance dissimilarities in mixed-ploidy genomic data cause irregular patterns in PCA and other clustering analyses.

ALT A multi-part infographic featuring two maps showing species richness and range size patterns for ferns and lycophytes: Left Map (Ferns): The areas marked in orange represent regions with high species richness and low ranges (rich-low range areas). Areas in green represent regions with low species richness and high ranges (poor-high range), which are concentrated on the upper and lower limits of the biome. Right Map (Lycophytes): This map follows the same color pattern to depict species richness and range size patterns for lycophytes. Section 2 (bottom-left corner), a graphical illustration shows the drivers of high richness and low range sizes of ferns and lycophytes from the Atlantic Forest. An upward arrow illustrates factors contributing to high species richness. A downward arrow shows factors contributing to small range sizes.
