The outer ear is a mammalian innovation but where did it come from? In our study in @Nature, @MathiThiru95 and colleagues find that the outer ear arose from modification of an ancestral gill program first originating in marine invertebrates. https://t.co/i05me2SXI4

I was so excited (and stressed 😂) to organize my first art workshop in Tartu. We made an amazing garland with acorn cups and pine trees🎄🍄 We discussed life as foreigners in Estonia and shared our problems here. Hope to see more people next time 😍
In this fascinating review Prakshi Aneja and colleagues explore the physiological significance and regulation of leaf thickness and highlight opportunities on how this trait might be targeted for crop improvement.

In Estonia it gets dark already at 4:30, only coffee saves. I need to rewatch the presentation from two years ago, because there is always "will" about our experiments, and now we have all "done" 🤩 By the way, my third year of PhD started on November 1st ✨
I spent around 5 hours exploring EcM with the small microscope and taking pictures. it feels like it’s better not to start otherwise you will end up with 500 pics😂
Incredible EcM colonization on our Pines, which were planted in June 2024 in two varieties (alone and with 4 Briza) on the soils from abandoned and grazed grasslands ☕️
#EcM
The same species, the same planting time, the same 3cm height at the beginning and one single stem but two different locations for 4 month growth: forest on the left and clear-cut on the right. And what do we see! Phenotypic plasticity had fun 🤪
Soil erosion poses a major threat to global food security and to the achievement of the #SDGs.
This @FAO publication reviews the challenge and provides insights to address #SoilErosion & promote sustainable land management.

Happy to present my poster today at #BES2023. My topic is Impact of long-term grazing abandonment on intraspecific variation in plant functional traits ⭐️🌿
