Italian alder, _Alnus cordata_? Amazingly late #phenology - trees in the UK keep their leaves well into December!

In the summer of 2011 I got interested in biological oscillators as great examples of emergent behaviour. This curiosity was largely inspired by discussions on complexity science with my the environmental historian and late brother Juan Humberto Urquiza Garcia.

Why does this matter? Open and FAIR data boost transparency, prevent redundancy, and enhance research impact.

Shared datasets often increase citations for their linked publications. 📈🌟 4/5

Data sharing isn't just a box to tick—it's a foundation for reproducibility and collaboration.

Yet, making datasets FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable) is no small feat.

This paper dives into practical solutions for researchers in biological sciences! 💡📊 2/5

Love it ❤️👍!

But at £32.00, the USD-GBP exchange rate is wicked these days.
