Patterns of Intrafruit Seed Abortion and Variation in Seed Mass of the Guanacaste Tree (Enterolobium cyclocarpum, Fabaceae) in Populations From Mexico and Costa Rica In the fruits of the Guanacaste tree (Enterolobium cyclocarpum), abort events are not randomly distributed among fruits and within fruits. The number of aborts within a fruit affects the final weight....

Scientists move to Bluesky, transitioning away from X and Meta platforms A photograph of a short-eared owl mid-flight was the last Instagram post biology professor Carl Bergstrom shared before announcing his departure from the platform Jan. 10.

This article about scientists switching from Twitter to Bluesky quotes me (and @trevorabranch.bsky.social and @carlbergstrom.com ) 🧪 #SciComm

Pero sí podemos poner bastantes diputados del FA y así asegurar un grupo de oposición. Esa es mi esperanza.

Mi primer post en BlueSky!
