Italian alder, _Alnus cordata_? Amazingly late #phenology - trees in the UK keep their leaves well into December!

In the summer of 2011 I got interested in biological oscillators as great examples of emergent behaviour. This curiosity was largely inspired by discussions on complexity science with my the environmental historian and late brother Juan Humberto Urquiza Garcia.

Fallen leaves in colours of red, orange and gold, lie upon the forest floor.
📝 How Trees’ Responses to Rainfall Frequency Could Help Improve Climate Models 🧵
https://doi.org/n38g
Climate models often struggle to capture the timing of leaf drop. A new study finds that scientists haven’t been looking at rainfall the way plants have.

A graphic from the IPBES Transformative Change Assessment Report Summary for Policymakers.
Figure SPM.2 The framework of transformative change for a just and sustainable world. Section A indicates views, structures and practices (the inner golden spirals) being strongly shaped by the underlying causes of biodiversity loss and nature’s decline (solid grey ring). Section B shows shifts in views, structures and practices breaking the influence of the underlying causes when they are guided by the four key principles of transformative change (blue ring). Section C illustrates a just and sustainable world, with prevailing views, structures, and practices aligned with the principles of transformative change. This framework can be used by different actor groups to help identify where and how they can promote, accelerate and scale the process of transformative change towards a just and sustainable world.
The @ipbes.bsky.social #TransformativeChange Assessment Report examines fundamental changes required for a future where people live in harmony with nature.🌍🧪

Why does this matter? Open and FAIR data boost transparency, prevent redundancy, and enhance research impact.
Shared datasets often increase citations for their linked publications. 📈🌟 4/5

Data sharing isn't just a box to tick—it's a foundation for reproducibility and collaboration.
Yet, making datasets FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable) is no small feat.
This paper dives into practical solutions for researchers in biological sciences! 💡📊 2/5

Great to see @labourlewis.bsky.social ask the Treasury how they plan to ensure that growing the financial sector won’t harm the wider economy.
We should be directing finance to where it is needed, not growing the sector so that it sucks even more resources out of the everyday economy.

Dawn redwood trunk, with bark starting to grow around the metal banister of a fire escape.
Dawn redwood tree as tall as the 3-storey University building next to it, with foliage turning brown in the Autumn.
👀 See where this ends? #HungryTrees
🌲 Metasequoia glyptostroboides, or the Dawn Redwood, at #EdinburghUniversity. Another ancient tree family 🦕, and unusual as a deciduous gymnosperm.

Royal Society fellow Dorothy Bishop (@deevybee.bsky.social) resigns over Elon Musk membership.
Bishop claims Musk has violated RS code of conduct, and is not prepared to treat him "collegially and with courtesy" as that code requires. Free to read.
