What's a #plant to do? You need #nitrogen, but the primary form of available N is toxic NH4+ 🤮
Here, Ziao et al. discuss strategies for mitigating #ammonium #toxicity and ways to improve N-use efficiency in #crops.

Last month we released #kakapo back onto mainland NZ for the first time in living memory. All four have just had a health check and are doing well. We’ll look to release more kākāpō to Maungatautari soon. Pic: Dani Whitaker #returnofthekakapo #parrots #conservation

John Flamsteed was born #OTD in 1646.

His main achievements were the preparation of a 3,000-star catalogue, Catalogus Britannicus, and a star atlas called Atlas Coelestis, both published posthumously. He also made the first recorded observations of Uranus, although he mistakenly catalogued it as a star, and he laid the foundation stone for the Royal Greenwich Observatory. via @wikipedia

Do you care about undescribed biodiversity?

Feel like more and more new plant species are already threatened with extinction?

Need a reminder of why taxonomy continues to play a key role in science?

Check out our new paper, where we show that a whopping 75% of plants described after 2020 are threatened 🌿

If you're describing new species, assume they're threatened and, if poss, assess them straight away!

In mycology’s early days, botanical drawing was, for some women, a calling. Their mushroom renderings were key to establishing this new field.

@PlantTeaching I like the chronological timeline and decentralized aspect of it. I wish more of our community were here.

Thousands of scientists are cutting back on Twitter, seeding angst and uncertainty https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-023-02554-0

Interesting article about scientists leaving Twitter.

"The most popular alternative social-media site that respondents mentioned opening accounts with was the free, open-source software platform Mastodon."

#introduction Hi, I’m new here, but I’m giving this Mastodon thing a try! I’m an ecologist by training, currently teaching intro bio to undergrads. I’m an #insect enthusiast with particular love for #bees, #wasps and other garden critters. I have a chaotic good #vegetablegarden and plant lots of #nativeplants for the yard critters. I’m also a #twinmom and #vegetarian #cook. Don’t have a #dog yet but I love to see photos of your #dogs. What are you #reading right now?
