Lingua wanka is a hilarious moniker for scientific writing

a study that changes the paradigm of horizontal gene transfer across kingdoms, led by my former PhD supervisor Bernard Goffinet, congratulations to his team www.nature.com/articles/s41...

I am glad to be part of the largest paper on bryophyte genomics. Spearheaded by Shanshan Dong and Yang Liu ( Fairy Lake Botanical Garden) presents: "A comprehensive super-pangenome analysis, incorporating 123 newly sequenced bryophyte nuclear genomes......" www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Our studies of Lewinskya in fog oases of Central and Northern Chile reveal yet hidden diversity within Orthotrichaceae. Find more in our paper www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Market is open!!! This is the last and most immoral mail I’ve received from #publisher. Offer to author a paper I never heard about before and out of my expertise. I presume it is not for free. Another hint that some people are hijacking Science, both “authors” and publishers #Ethics_in_science

wie cool!

¿Por qué la región entre Zamora, León y Ourense arde tanto? No, no es para construir aerogeneradores, ni por ninguna de las teorías conspiranoicas que estamos leyendo. La explicación es más compleja… y menos cómoda para quienes buscan respuestas simples. 1/13

Just published! This is not only the description of a new species. It responds to the necessity of redefining generic boundaries in our favorite moss family. Don't miss it! With @logarilleti.bsky.social @flara-bryo.bsky.social @paguado-ramsay.bsky.social

Algunes espècies de briòfits vistes al microscopi. En un moment en què la IA està cada vegada més a tot arreu, identificar briòfits segueix essent un procés totalment manual, quasi artesanal: des de la recollida de les mostres a camp fins a la seva observació amb el microscopi.

Hi Pablo! Just to be fair, the contents of vol 58 were already punished along the year (2024). The delay affected only the annual compilation volume and it was out in march. The section of chorological novelties was launched the year before (not a new section in 58) www.briologia.es/boletines/Vo...

Des de @brioli-ichn.bsky.social participem en #SetmanesArquitectura de Barcelona 2025, fent un taller sobre els briòfits i líquens que colonitzen els edificis, en aquest entorn privilegiat del Monestir de Pedralbes. Activitat gratuïta amb inscripció. @ubdivulga.bsky.social @bcncultura.bsky.social

Divendres va ser dia de sort. Després de fer classe, tot i la mandra per haver-me llevat a quarts de sis, vaig anar a fotografiar briòfits. En principi em pensava que aquesta molsa era alguna Tortella, però ha resultat ser TIMMIELLA ANOMALA, que no es trobava a Catalunya des de l'any 1879.

Ya está disponible el volumen 58 del BSEB, con las aportaciones del año 2023. Esperamos que lo disfrutéis #bryophytes #SEB www.briologia.es/boletines/Vo...

Se ha filtrado el borrador de ley de universidades que está preparando la CAM. Si se aprueba, será la muerte de la universidad pública madrileña. Es escandaloso. No exagero. Se vienen tiempos oscuros como no espabilemos. Explico algunos puntos críticos. Va hilo. 👇

I'm thrilled to share news of my new book - Mosses, Liverworts and Hornworts of the World - which is now available for pre-order at some book shops and will hit the streets in August. Published by Princeton University Press: tinyurl.com/Mosses-of-th...

New Correspondence: "Time to end the vascular plant chauvinism" rdcu.be/d38L4 The emphasis on vascular plants reveals a bias that leaves the non-vascular plants — the tiny, overlooked, inconspicuous plants — hidden in the shadows, literally.

It’s great to see this essay get some attention.
