“To put this in perspective,” added Renner, “the common murre die-off was approximately fifteen times larger than the number of seabirds killed during the Exxon Valdez oil spill, an environmental disaster of epic proportions.”

Gymnosperm #seeds can have multiple cotyledons (unlike the one or two typical of angiosperms). Rather than having a fixed number, the number of cotyledons can vary between seeds. Here are some Pinus sylvestris seedlings, their cotyledons making them look like little whisks! 🧪🌲
