J Ecol, I love you guys. You know this. But please get yourselves a couple of good artists on the team instead of using this 'it all looks the same' AI generated bullshit. It really takes the fun out of everything. I'm sure you would be able to find ecologists that would be happy to supply you!

Want my first post on blue sky to be about amazing #plants and I have a great news!!
@rituYadav defends her doctoral work on the #globba - dancing doll of the Ginger world & one mesmerizing plant!
She asks:why do some species show obligate selfing? Yes, you heard it right. No sexual reproduction!
