las aves son dinosaurios - ¿cómo lo sabemos? en parte gracias a organismos fósiles espectaculares como anchiornis huxleyi. vengan el jueves 3 a las 5 pm al centro cívico de @uniandes y les cuento más, y de una vez ven dos exhibiciones increíbles. entrada libre.

New paper from my thesis is out! Palm-goat interaction shifted from mutualism to antagonism, from seed dispersal service to reproductive collapse, depending on the goat density. Hard fieldwork but exciting results!

@McCallumBooks Hi Ann, I don't know exactly how they used them. However it wasa common practice to use poison on arrows. You can find more information on this book: Poison Arrows: North American Indian Hunting and Warfare :)

[Laura Gómez Devia @_Laura_GomDe]

𝘏𝘶𝘳𝘢 𝘤𝘳𝘦𝘱𝘪𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘴 of the #Euphorbiaceae family has a #poisonous latex that fishermen used in arrows to catch fish (it stupefies them); but also has #medicinal properties. The fruit has a distinctive pumpkin-shape that scatters seeds when exploding -with a loud sound-.

[Laura Gómez Devia @_Laura_GomDe]

All parts of 𝘊𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘶𝘮 𝘢𝘴𝘪𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘶𝘮 are #poisonous when ingested, therefore known as poison bulb (or my personal favorite -spider lily-). It has an important #economic value as an ornamental plant for its unique flower and as a medicinal plant for its various attributes

[Laura Gómez Devia @_Laura_GomDe]

Native to The Antilles 𝘔𝘢𝘮𝘮𝘦𝘢 𝘢𝘮𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘯𝘢 known as #mamey is a tree widely cultivated in #Tropical regions because of its edible fruit, eaten fresh or in marmalades. Popular in folk medicine. #Antioxidant capacity highly recognized, antimicrobial & antiulcer activity

[Laura Gómez Devia @_Laura_GomDe]

𝘈𝘴𝘱𝘪𝘥𝘰𝘴𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘮𝘢 𝘥𝘦𝘴𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘩𝘶𝘮 (#Apocynaceae), recognized by its distinctive velvety fruit and paper seeds. Found from Mexico to Bolivia. Its wood is used for construction and from the cortex of the roots chemical compounds with #antimalarial properties are studied

[Laura Gómez Devia @_Laura_GomDe]

𝘈𝘯𝘢𝘤𝘢𝘳𝘥𝘪𝘶𝘮 𝘦𝘹𝘤𝘦𝘭𝘴𝘶𝘮 #Anacardiaceae found from south of Costa Rica to Ecuador. The timber is widely used for the construction of canoes and furniture. The fruit is eaten and dispersed by bats; raw is poisonous for humans, although toasted is consumed locally.

[Laura Gómez Devia @_Laura_GomDe]

The oldest tree of the Botanical Garden of #Cartagena is 𝘈𝘯𝘢𝘤𝘢𝘳𝘥𝘪𝘶𝘮 𝘦𝘹𝘤𝘦𝘭𝘴𝘶𝘮 known as caracolí. Over 200 years old, inspired Humboldt and José Celestino Mutis in their botanical expeditions through the region. Sadly it was hit my thunder and is still recovering

[Laura Gómez Devia @_Laura_GomDe]

This astonishing flower is 𝘗𝘭𝘶𝘮𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘢 𝘳𝘶𝘣𝘳𝘢 a commonly ornamental plant, known as #frangipani. Recognized as #poisonous by USDA Forestry Service, however widely used in #TraditionalMedicine as abortifacient, drastic, purgative, used in toothache and for carious teeth.
