Meet the monkey flower: an emerging model
The genetic structure of a population can shape an organism\u2019s ecology and evolution. However, that structure often changes depending on the geographic scale you\u2019re looking at. In this episode Dr Alex Twyford (University of Edinburgh) discusses the complicated genetic structures displayed by an emerging model \u2013 the yellow monkey flower, Mimulus guttatus. A proud botanist, Dr Twyford also explores the issue of \u2018plant blindness\u2019: the unfortunate tendency of biologists to overlook the research value, and potential, of plant systems.
