Some spooky #spatial images today.... 🎃 💀 👻

EI scientists Ashleigh and Daniella from our #singlecell team captured these skull-like apparitions (naturally occurring in the vascular bundle of leaves) while working with Alloteropsis samples on a collaboration with @marjorielundgren.bsky.social.

We mourn the passing of our Editor-in-Chief Steve Long.

His vision to establish one of the first journals dedicated to Global Change over 30 years ago was truly ahead of its time. Through GCB, researchers have demonstrated that biology and ecosystems are not simply victims of global change..
