Similar to the concept of this @newphyt.bsky.social #PlantScience paper by @tonnigrubeandersen.bsky.social, leading through passage cell biology via Pink Floyd song titles:

The endodermal passage cell – just another brick in the wall?
The endodermis surrounds and protects the vasculature partly by depositing hydrophobic suberin in the cell walls. Yet, some cells remain unsuberised. These historically termed ‘passage cells’ are ass....

Our friend the Cuban Spotted Toad lives in central and eastern Cuba! Their call is described as "loud, like a machine gun"! You can hear it here! www.fonozoo.com/fnz_detalles... (photo by kogia)
A rough-skinned toad with a very light brown head and a darker brown back with many very light, cream-colored spots! Their belly is also cream colored! Their parotoid glands are mostly cream colored with small black warty bumps on them!

In Central America, scientists found a spike in malaria cases after the fungus arrived. As frogs died, there were fewer tadpoles to eat mosquito larvae; more mosquitoes resulted in a fivefold increase in malaria cases: wapo.st/3LHtdAj (gift). We allow extinctions at our peril. 🌎
First, the frogs died. Then people got sick.
An emerging area of research is uncovering hidden links between nature and human health.

Today in Sumatra we found forest ghost flowers (Aeginetia sp.). This leafless, parasitic plant has no need for sunlight and blossoms unseen in the very depths of the forest.

I spend too much time pulling this annual weed from my garden in autumn: It’s Phyllanthus urinaria. At 1st glance, it looks like a single stem with pinnately compound leaves. Look again. The axillary flowers & fruits prove these “leaves” are branches. #Phyllanthaceae #TropicalBotany #Botany 🌾🧪🌱

What has external gills, a perma-smile, and a limb-regenerating superpower? The axolotl, of course! These salamanders are popular research subjects, but their wild habitat is down to just one lake—and the race to save them is mounting.
Inside The Race To Save Wild Axolotls
Lake Xochimilco in Mexico City is the only place where axolotls live in the wild, and they face growing threats.

🌳 How do Fabaceae plants allocate nutrients above vs. belowground across China? We found divergent leaf–root nutrient allometries and a dominant role of phylogeny in nutrient variation, except for leaf P & K, which were driven by climate! 🌞

This tiny rare moss was believed extinct in the UK, until its rediscovery in 2003. After recent ID training in the Cairngorms, volunteers, landowners & experts found Aspen Bristle-moss populations have doubled!🌿
