I find it so funny how blackberry lily (Iris domestica) petals/sepals twist around each other as the ovary expands below them! Some Uzumaki vibes going on

Plantas herbáceas não graminoides são fundamentais para a preservação do Cerrado Menos estudadas do que as gramíneas e as árvores, essas espécies vegetais possuem enorme importância para a biodiversidade, o armazenamento de carbono, a regeneração pós-distúrbios e a provisão de ser...

Estudo de revisão conduzido por colaboração internacional de cientistas aponta que plantas herbáceas não graminoides são fundamentais para a biodiversidade, o armazenamento de carbono, a regeneração pós-distúrbios e a provisão de serviços ecossistêmicos pelo #Cerrado. agencia.fapesp.br/53710/

As academic Bluesky grows, researchers find strengths—and shortcomings Platform fosters collegial interactions among scientists, but potentially limits interactions beyond the academic community

Great piece by @kakape.bsky.social about BlueSky and the growth of its academic community

Feat. @lorenzspreen.bsky.social @carlbergstrom.com @jbakcoleman.bsky.social and others, as well as my efforts to monitor and analyze the network out of the equilibrium regime 👇

Heading back to Brazil after six amazing months at the University of Connecticut working with Pam Diggle and Cindi Jones.

Leaving behind 700 seedlings to continue growing in the greenhouse.

I can’t wait to return and conduct fire-induced experiments on plant development!

Hahaha! Source: trust me. Why would I lie?

I think about this reddit interaction at least twice a week

Created a starter package for #SeedEcology researchers, if anyone here working on seed ecology are suggested to join.

Haha! I politely asked it if it wanted to be the last beetle, and it quickly flew away.

I swear it wasn’t staged.

Fuel architecture influences interspecific variation in shoot flammability, but not as much as leaf traits This study addresses a key knowledge gap by demonstrating the influence of fuel architecture on shoot flammability and improves understanding of why species with certain architecture (e.g. highly bra...

Congrats, @azhar06.bsky.social on another PhD chapter being published!

Thank you!

If I’m not too late I would like to be added too! :D

Posting this old cartoon just because I never thought I would draw buds with… haircuts. This cartoon refers to the potential of some buds to survive fire when protected by trichomes (hairs), allowing them to develop into resprouts after fire events besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Awesome to see the interest in this! Here's the Starter Pack - a start, with plenty of room to grow. Please let me know if you'd like to be included!
