Finally a good reason to make my first bluesky post.
Our new paper describes the pyro-thermal niche - a way to qualify how seeds respond to fire type temperatures.

The metrics that comprise the pyro-thermal niche are influenced by phylogeny!

Defining the pyro‐thermal niche: do seed traits, ecosystem type and phylogeny influence thermal thresholds in seeds with physical dormancy?
Seeds are a key pathway for plant population recovery following disturbance. To prevent germination during unsuitable conditions, most species produce dormant seeds. In fire-prone regions, physical .....
