Fagraea is a genus of woody Gentianaceae, of which there are many. Fagraea is found in the tropics of Asia, Australia & the Pacific. Many have large, showy flowers & ornamental potential but are seldom cultivated. This is Fagraea ceilanica. #Gentianaceae #Botany 🌾🧪🌱

What a fantastic presentation by Dr. Chris Martine! Like the plants he studies @martinebotany.bsky.social 's talk can't be limited to a singular category- science, art, human dimensions, education, and even pop culture- this talk has it all! www.youtube.com/watch?v=CkJ_...

Congratulations @astragaler.bsky.social, with @wile-phylote.bsky.social and I, on putting together a great history of plant systematics, using Liliales and Asparagales as an example of how changes in evolutionary theory and data has shaped modern day understandings of the plant tree of life.

A park is not just a pretty space — it’s a lifeline for species, a cooling system for heatwaves, and a refuge for people. But if it dies in a drought, was it ever sustainable? Let’s build ecosystemic urban nature that lasts!
Online now: Evidence-based urban greening: a missing piece in biodiversity conservation
Evidence-based urban greening: a missing piece in biodiversity conservation
With calls for increased greenery in cities to safeguard biodiversity and its associated benefits to humans, urban vegetation must be managed carefully and efficiently. It is time to change paths from current spurious attempts to manufacture resilience and instead usher in evidence-based urban greening to secure ecosystems for the future.

A new R package, jumpID, distinguishes long-distance "jump" dispersal from diffusive spread in invasive species using occurrence data, and its application to the spotted lanternfly in the U.S. identified 152 such jumps from 2014–2022.

A method to quantify jump dispersal of invasive species from occurrence data: the case of the spotted lanternfly, Lycorma delicatula
The accuracy of predicting the spread of biological invasions is improved if models explicitly incorporate the two main dispersal mechanisms: diffusive spread and jump dispersal. However, quantitative...

Lobeliads are a plant lineage that evolved on the Hawaiian Islands, likely from a single ancestor. An analysis of nuclear and plastid genomes tells a complex tale of island hopping and ecological divergence. In PNAS: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...
