[Taxacom] Post-doctoral vacancy at RBGE: Conserving the Flora of Socotra

[Alan Forrest]

John,

Thanks for that - although this is a plant project, we are trying to integrate across all groups as data starts coming in, and as wider Socotra projects start to come online. The Socotra crabs are a bit special!

A nice example of potential integration of evolution into conservation for Socotra may be provided in the biogeography of a clade of freshwater crabs where a gondwanan clade (Poamonautidae - Africa, Madagascar and Seychelles + Gecarinucidae - India to McPherson-Macleay Overlap) and a Tethyan clade (Poamidae - Borneo to Gibraltar,  including Socotra where the gondwanic clade is absent.
