I'm not sure what iirc amps is, but that's very fascinating. I wonder if that's why tadpoles of M. nepenthicola can live and develop inside the pitchers.

So cool! I kinda suspected it, also because it rarely has upper pitchers. More like detritivorous than carnivorous!

A beautiful pitcher plant from the forests of Borneo:

This plant is well known for providing shelter for other species, such as one of the smallest frogs, 𝘔𝘪𝘤𝘳𝘰𝘩𝘺𝘭𝘢 𝘯𝘦𝘱𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘤𝘰𝘭𝘢, and the crab spider 𝘔𝘪𝘴𝘶𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘰𝘱𝘴 𝘯𝘦𝘱𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘤𝘰𝘭𝘢.

Ultraviolet radiation triggers some flowers to produce their own light.

Be like this little kangaroo paw. Live a beautiful life on your own power.

I’m no zoologist, but as an amphibian lover, these are extremely sad news and hopefully will boost conservation efforts!

As I enjoy photography as much as science, from time to time I'll share some beautiful plants with you.

Kicking off this Bluesky action with this recently published paper on mangroves, with @a-gthy.bsky.social and @profchoat.bsky.social

Key findings:
🍃 Foliar water uptake supports water potential recovery
🌊 Tides do not affect xylem sap composition

Fascinating organisms!
