Algo muito sério aconteceu hoje: Noemi Gelle, treinadora da equipe húngara, faz um gesto de supremacia branca. Uma resposta ao pódio de mulheres negras + a treta da Romênia. Um absurdo e o COI tem que fazer o banimento imediato dessa racista!

I am happy to share our latest publication, which is the result of my master’s dissertation. We experimentally tested whether trapping trichomes favour male and female functions in trap flowers, using the protogynous trap flowers of Aristolochia esperanzae.besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/13…

Our paper in PSE is available online! rdcu.be/d4rLR link.springer.com/article/10.100… This is the third and last chapter of my thesis. Here we discuss the consistency of morph-biased pollen sterility in some species of Erythroxylum in the Cerrado of Central Brazil.
