“Silkhenges” are a silk spire surrounded by an intricate silken fence- made by a species of spider. Scientists aren’t sure yet if the spider is a described species or not (in spite of what you may have read, this is current – the spider has not yet been identified).

We found plastic microfibres in every single sample we took. In Antarctica, the Atlantic, and the Pacific. Nearshore and hundreds of miles from land.

Let’s make 2024 the year we turn the tide on (plastic) pollution 💪🏻

I have salamanders on the brain! Did you know that some salamanders mamas, like the Ensatina, stay with their eggs until after they hatch? Look at these pics of two mamas found under a board in Monterey Co., Calif.

trying to think more about how genetic architecture of a trait in a population can change between environments. eg, mainly additive effects in env_1, mainly cytonuclear effects in env_2.

anyone have favorite papers touching on this idea?

This whole thread is fascinating, but I was astonished that Frontiers, PloS journals, and NCBI are all major sources fro training GPT. No wonder it can simulate writing a paper so well

more evidence that evolution isn't fastest in the tropics,

royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs…

need to add another data point to my plot from my 2022 review!

Authors propose that previous experiments studying dormancy may have overlooked changes in cold hardiness, especially with below-freezing temperature treatments. Understanding and separating chilling accumulation from cold acclimation are crucial for future studies. (6/7)

This , meet the Irish Elk. Megaloceros giganteus was one of the largest deer species that ever lived. This Ice Age giant stood 6.5 to 7 feet tall at the shoulders with antlers that reached up to 12 feet across - wider than most cars! ⁠

Do you know of a plant science REU or summer undergraduate reseearch program? Send me a link and I'll curate on the ROOT & SHOOT Research Coordination Network website! Let's make it easy for students to get a summer research experience in plant science! Thanks!

Dearest hive-mind, what are some common garden datasets growing multiple genotypes, lines, families, populations, or species across multiple (at least 5) sites/environments

Fascinating update on sharks!🦈💫

A recent study found a Silky Shark undergoing fin regeneration - making this only the second documented instance of this remarkable ability! hindawi.com/journals/jmb/2… 📷 Captain John Moore and Josh Schellenberg via Chelsea Black University of Miami

Buzz pollination in plants may have evolved to: (1) protect flowers from inefficient pollen extraction, (2) control pollen dispensing to reduce removal, (3) achieve precise pollen placement on pollinators, and (4) shield against UV radiation and pathogens. (7/8)
