Another highly productive year for ReCER. Our 2025 publications booklet highlights how we continue advancing theoretical and applied genomic research in conservation, restoration, evolutionary processes and much more. Explore here: www.botanicgardens.org.au/sites/defaul...

Local Adaptation Drives Leaf Thermoregulation in Tropical Rainforest Trees We tested whether tropical rainforest trees adjust their leaf traits and resulting leaf temperatures across their distributions within the Australian Wet Tropics. Using field measurements from across...

Congrats @kalimiddleby.bsky.social on this exciting paper showing local adaptation to warm temperatures in some tropical trees - and to coauthors @drrebeccajordan.bsky.social @martinbreed.bsky.social @awcheesman.bsky.social @mrossettorecer.bsky.social @dcrayn.bsky.social

Our latest research at ReCER (just published in Nat Com – rdcu.be/d5fHO) shows that although vegetation types are useful descriptive tools, they do not characterise the evolutionary history and adaptive potential of single species.
This is very important for restoration and conservation practices.
