How and why plants came to smell green: the origins, biosynthesis, and roles of green leaf volatiles Rapidly released from damaged cells, green leaf volatiles exemplify an evolutionary adaptation conserved across terrestrial plants, serving as essential de

Biodiversity modulates the cross‐community scaling relationship in changing environments Organismal abundance typically declines with increasing body size, with metabolic theory predicting a universal size–abundance slope of –0.75. Using protist microcosms across gradients of species ric...

Does body size predict abundance the same way in all environments, as predicted by the Metabolic theory of Ecology? Our new study challenges this assumption. Read it here: 📄 doi.org/10.1111/ele....

Boxes also work on bobcats

In #drylands, plants don’t grow randomly — they self-organize into disordered hyperuniform patterns that help them use water wisely & endure extreme aridity. A beautiful hidden logic of nature, revealed in a new @pnas.org study doi.org/10.1073/pnas... including #Maestrelab alumni

The funny part is that I don't think any billionaires are making any money off this

She meant to say higher rents probably. Simple mistake

Not trying to defend trump, but you can be at a 5 year low and still have a major problem

It will help wildland firefighters stay employed by creating more fires

Also the scale of carbon emissions due to land cover change is a drop in the bucket compared to fossil fuel burning

But they also create the necessity for these consultants by getting washed up conservative politicians into regent and University president positions, who push for new construction financed on new debt.

If you believe in "rocks"

Corn, popcorn, and chiles are indigenous to Mexico. They've been eating popcorn there (probably with hot sauce?) centuries before Columbus arrived.

The problem with this whole situation is that Americans somehow have never discovered what Mexicans have always known: the best way to eat popcorn is not with butter but with hot sauce

I think maybe it's because the intermediate model starts from a higher value. It looks like if the y axis was change from starting value, low emissions would be the highest

I would love for my 15 minutes of Fame being "DC sandwich thrower"

IT'S FOR SAFETY

I guess I was thinking more that they should maybe develop some compelling policy proposals that people actually want to vote for, but what do I know.
