New Review: "The impact of thermogenesis on the origin of insect pollination" https://t.co/WSeSYcrz0J

Exploration of the fossil record uncovers the evolutionary history of thermogenic plants, revealing a close relationship with insect pollinators since the Palaeozoic era.

@herbivoryze The post seems fake, yet an actual paper about such idea exists. As a biologist, I hope no publisher buys the idea to make a book out of it: https://t.co/fxQyzH2qGP

Are you interested in plant conservation and attending @ibc2024 ?
Take a look to our workshop (Sun 21/06, 12:00-13:30h):

Spatial applications of Evolutionarily Distinct and Globally Endangered (EDGE) plants 🌲🌼🗺️!!

Have a look to our work and contribute to the debate! https://t.co/j1wgAgrWjk Translations available to several languages at the bottom of the page. We would like to thank @AIBSbiology for giving us the chance to express our views and concerns.

Nuevas hipótesis sobre la planta 'moly' de la Odisea, un enigma botánico milenario https://t.co/1d93LxlkDZ a través de @agencia_sinc

[Pedro Jiménez Mejías @pjimmej]

This weird alien thing is a whole preserved specimen of Welwitschia mirabilis hosted at @BGM_coll_res. Note the large underground part that cannot be observed in the pics of living plants: most of the body of Welwitschia is in fact a kind of giant carrot!

[Rafael Molina Venegas @rafmolven3]

@pjimmej @BGM_coll_res I was told this is the only existing trully perennial plant. The only two leaves of the plant growing and tearing as it ages.

Shading Light on the Enigma of Homer's Moly 🌿 In Book 10 of the Odyssey, the elusive herb moly captivates our imagination. Join us on a journey through time as we challenge the conventional identification of Homer´s moly. #Odyssey #Botany #MolyMystery

The 1980s Pharmacological Thesis Revisited 📚 Decades ago, the snowdrop was proposed as candidate for Homer's moly, inspired by its AChE-inhibiting properties. We question this assimilation and delve into interdisciplinary literature to present a compelling case. #Pharmacology

Need to expand your phylogeny with species for which you do not have molecular data? Then consider our new software 'randtip', an "out-of-the-black box" framework to account for phylogenetic uncertainty: https://t.co/lirdXMWwIt
