I'm interested in plant evolution and systematics, as well as entomology, natural history and photography.

@JeffOllerton @StevenFalk1 Not Prunus spinosa?

[Max Brown @Max_Wildlife]

@paulypod @SomeInsects Yes it was! A few years ago now huh! Good to hear from you :)

[Liam Crowley @Liam_M_Crowley]

I'm super excited that the first (of many to come) #DarwinTreeOfLife insect genomes are being published! Lots from @GenomeWytham @WythamWoods, including a wasp! https://t.co/oIAvXZZBks.

A monumental team effort from so many people!

@beardwarbler @BrianE_Cambs Something like Ectemnius?

Should climbing mountains become more of a rare privilege than a routine right? Interesting feature that shines a light on our somewhat skewed relationship with nature. https://t.co/ODCkfYLkck

@LMasseyImages Looks like Galium album, hedge bedstraw?

Managed to grab another few seconds with the Narrow-bordered Bee Hawk-moth today as darted from flower to flower. This is it at half speed, what a busy little 'bee' it is #TeamMoth

@MariaEDance @nicktew95 @wildflower_hour I think a weird Pentaglottis... basal leaves would be good!

1/ I may be repeating myself, but I want to fight this sense of security that I see outside of the epicenters, as if nothing was going to happen "here". The media in Europe are reassuring, politicians are reassuring, while there's little to be reassured of. #COVID19 #coronavirus

[Grant Sanderson @3blue1brown]

With recorded COVID-19 cases (outside china) so eerily matching an exponential, I couldn't resist making a primer on exponential/logistic growth. At least 3 counterintuitive things about this kind of growth seem worth putting into the discussion.

@Lophophanes @crawley_mick I find it interesting that flore pleno mutations are consistently selected, and found attractive in a huge range of plants

[Mick Crawley @crawley_mick]

Two of the earliest double daffs (D4) are also amongst the most famous and most ancient cultivars. Narcissus 'Telamonius Plenus' (left) has intact petals and only the trumpet is mutated. Narcissus 'Rip van Winkle' has all of the perianth mutated and is paler, lemon yellow.

Interesting start to this chapter

@bethany_bug @AMNH Thought that was a Rubik’s cube for a minute!

[Max Brown @Max_Wildlife]

@fidhw How do I purchase one of these?!

[Prof. Jeff Ollerton - @[email protected] @JeffOllerton]

Let's turn #BlackFriday into #GreenFriday and not buy anything at all.

[Max Brown @Max_Wildlife]

@crawley_mick Never seen any fruits on the one on Kings Building campus, Edinburgh!

@imogenheap @SWG3glasgow @guysigsworth @zoecello @Stevie_J_Jones We’re here, excited! @CuratorMolly 😊

@rocketcatgames is it possible to get super quick hook for iPhone again??

[Max Brown @Max_Wildlife]

@Bertolicus Good luck!
