Our latest paper challenges a long-held view: Germination isn’t complete at radicle emergence—it continues until the first true leaf emerges. This highlights the overlooked epicotyl dormancy, which is key in species ranging from oaks to mangroves. bit.ly/3IkvWOK

Thanks for featuring me in the “Meet the Editor” blog. Big thanks to the editorial team of @funecology.bsky.social and to all the reviewers and authors who keep advancing ecological research.

Do you study plant functional traits, but are limited only to #VegetativeTraits due to the lack of standardized protocols for #RegenerativeTraits? You don't need to struggle—our new handbook with standardized methods is now available as a preprint doi.org/10.32942/X27... @ecoevorxiv.bsky.social

🌱 Tomorrow at #ATBC2025 in Oaxaca! Join us for our symposium: 🔬 S-28 | Advances in Seed Science and Conservation in the Neotropics 📅 June 19 🕥 10:30–12:10 & 13:10–14:50 📍 Room MF-5-Trique [1/4]

Our latest study confirms that Martynia annua (an invasive species) produces physiologically dormant seeds; its woody endocarp does not prevent water uptake, but delays germination, and seeds remain viable for over a year, fueling their invasive potential. cjs.sljol.info/articles/10.... #SeedEcology

Dear colleagues, There is an open postdoctoral position to work with the SeedArc seed germination database: doi.org/10.1111/nph..... All the details are in the attached image. Please share this with your networks—someone might be interested in applying. For more info: www.unioviedo.es/seedarc/

Our review paper in the Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society finally received volume and page numbers. If you are interested in the Seed Biology/Ecology of the Fagaceae family, this paper is worth exploring. doi.org/10.1093/botl...

Happy closing of 2024 with exciting news! 🎉 In our latest paper, we introduce the Ecosystem Services Vulnerability Index (ESVI) – a new tool for assessing the vulnerability of wetland plants that provide essential ecosystem services. Discover how ESVI can be incorporated doi.org/10.1007/s112...

New publication. Here, we discussed 'interpopulation variations in seed germination, suggesting plants may have microclimate-based regeneration strategies, highlighting the need to consider these variations in seed traits for effective restoration. doi.org/10.15258/sst... #SeedEcology

Dear #SeedEcology folks use this starter package to follow your #SeedEcologist peers.

Created a starter package for #SeedEcology researchers, if anyone here working on seed ecology are suggested to join. go.bsky.app/EuwwU7q

🔥Fuel architectural traits such as branching pattern influence shoot flammability, but leaf traits such as LDMC & leaf thickness play a stronger role in explaining interspecific flammability variation: besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

The reproductive ecology of the Fagaceae species is highly complex, and the interrelationship between its reproductive traits is surprisingly less explored, undermining how acorns survive the post-dispersal period. Delve a little deeper into this paper: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
