🌡️ Junio de 2026, el 2º más cálido de la serie. Solo fue superado por el del año pasado. ➡️ De los 15 junios más cálidos, 13 han sido en el siglo XXI. 🌂 Fue también un mes muy seco: el tercer junio con menos lluvias desde que hay datos. + info 👉 www.aemet.es/es/noticias/...

New paper by Hernández et al @newphyt.bsky.social using years of heat tolerance surveys of zingiberales in Costa Rica. *Interannual T50 variation wasn't related to temperature. *spp w high T50 had smaller internannual variation in T50. A trade-off? nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10....

If you sign a publishing agreement with Wiley, you agree that your work can be used for AI models. Other publishers probably do the same. As a federal employee, I can't sign that, so our ms is stuck. Publishers won't buckle for a few of us, so can't I publish anymore? What do universities say?

It seems like loggers or logging companies would have known this, but maybe not. It makes me curious. Does anybody know if land with red pines was worth less than that dominated by white pines or whether logging crews preferred white pine over red pine because of this reason? (8/8)
