Jared Mastin, Integrated Biology BS 2013, and MS 2017, recently published “Evidence for genetic allopolyploidy in Eutrema edwardsii (Brassicaceae): implications for conservation” in the international journal Plant Systematics and Evolution. The paper, which is co-authored by Leo P. Bruederle (Associate Professor of Integrative Biology) and Peter Anthamatten (Associate Professor in Geography and Environmental Sciences), grew out of research initiated while Jared was an undergraduate at CU Denver. Therein, they document the evolutionary origin of the Edward’s mock wallflower, a near circumpolar arctic-alpine species, whose closest relative is Eutrema penlandii, a federally listed endemic that is restricted in distribution to the Mosquito Range of Colorado.
Canvas Outage
Canvas access has been restored for our users, but the service reliability remains uncertain. Due to recent events, Canvas has had intermittent outages which are at the discretion of the vendor and may occur during a final exam. Faculty and staff may continue to use Canvas, but we strongly advise faculty and students to prepare a contingency plan for turning in assignments and final exams in the event Canvas access becomes unavailable again.
Instructure, the company that owns Canvas, has provided an FAQ about the incident, which may not answer all your questions. We will share more information if it becomes available.
