Does anyone have specific leaf area (SLA) or leaf mass per area (LMA) measurements for adult leaves of #Eucalyptus pellita or #Corymbia tessellaris that they'd be willing to share with me? 🧪 #PlantTraits #ecophysiology #physiology #WildOz #botany #ecology #AusTraits

Happening tomorrow at 1PM! Come hear Josef's findings on #Eucalyptus physiological response to heat stress from his research at @westsyduhie.bsky.social. Zoom link available. #WildOz #PlantScience #ecophys

Congratulations to my Honours student, Leon Sims, who graduated this week! Leon achieved First Class Honours for his thesis investigating how microclimatic variation in Australian Alps influences flowering and plant-pollinator networks. An outstanding achievement. Very proud supervisor here! 🐝🌸🪰🌼🦋

#RestorationEcology PhD opportunity at @westernsydneyu.bsky.social and @westsyduhie.bsky.social in Australia open to international and domestic students. Good opportunity for a traits-based approach to #restoration! 🧪 #PlantEcology #botany #ecology #WildOz

TWO PhD positions at Uni Western Australia with Caitlin Moore studying #agrivoltaics & #microclimate. Funding available for int'l & domestic students. Closing soon–apply by Fri 31 Oct (Aus time). #PlantScience researchdegrees.uwa.edu.au/scholarships... researchdegrees.uwa.edu.au/scholarships...

After #ISSS2025, we have seen quite a lot of movement among seed scientists here on Bluesky. If you want to make part of our Starter Pack, please leave a comment below! #SeedScience #PlantScience #Botany 🧪 Please help us grow our community of seed scientists on this social media! 🌱🫘

Yep, the error bars have tightened now that we are ~14 hours out from tomorrow's Midday. If the 39C temp holds out, it will def. break the record for any day in October since records began. Parts of Australia will experience the hottest place on the planet tomorrow incl. our city (6M people)

Beautiful photos showing the microscopic details of #seeds at the Australian National Botanic Gardens. Actual seeds mounted in acrylic next to the photos is a particularly nice touch. Exhibit is on in #Canberra until 16 Nov. Free. visit.anbg.gov.au/things-do/wh... #SeedEcology #SciComm #WildOz

An important paper - just out in @natureportfolio.nature.com documenting a decline in net C uptake by Australian rainforests. Eventually the same will occur in other rainforests - a reminder that we need to get to net zero ASAP. @biologyanu.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Occasionally I take the time to clear out my #ToReadPile, mostly manuscripts I linked to from Blue Sky languishing in a large stack of open tabs. Here are highlights from the most recent clean out (out of ~80). 🧪 #ecology #botany 🧵

So much to learn at the right-way science seminar organised by @scienceanu.bsky.social PhD candidate Jay Nicholson to highlight reciprocal collaborative research between Aṉangu and western scientists at Uluṟu-Kata Tjuṯa. We also got to taste mangaṯa quandong fruit and admire the intricate seeds. 🧪

Little side project 🐚🐌 (I got stuck on "1" of #sciartseptember ) 🐡

Ponderosa pine smells like butterscotch. Go ahead, sniff one the next time you're in the western US. Some say "vanilla", some say "oh no, my nose is covered in sap." Let's talk about birds, butterscotch, forest fires, blue wood, & boring beetles. But mostly this thread is about terpenes.

Three years ago, I joined this fabulous group of researchers in western Norway for the sixth Plant Functional Traits Course. Now, we've published the dataset covering morphological traits, spectroscopy, carbon flux, and more: doi.org/10.1038/s41597-025-05509-4 🧪 #OpenAccess #Botany #PlantTraits 🧵

How do active heat + drought shelters affect soil arthropods? New results from @tern-aus.bsky.social AMRF FutureClim experiment, including @scienceanu.bsky.social @biologyanu.bsky.social coauthors @jameslking.bsky.social + @pieterarnold.bsky.social 🧪 #SoilEcology #ClimateChange #Entomology #WildOz

I just passed my 50,000th identification on @inaturalist.bsky.social! Identifying is a huge but often ignored part of the #iNaturalist community and dataset so I wanted to share why and how I identify. 1/14 🧪 #ecology #taxonomy #botany #CommunityScience

I'm heading to #esa2025 and I am on the job market! Looking for academic positions at SLACs and PUI's broadly where I could share my love of restoration ecology with undergrads in the classroom and in the lab! Send me your leads, or learn more about me from my website rpizza94.github.io/RileyPizza/

Breaking: the American Society of Plant Taxonomists now on BlueSky @amsocplanttaxon.bsky.social! #botany2025 #iamabotanist

#Botany2025 was fabulous! I'm SO proud of these undergrads, who did a fantastic job presenting their work! It is so gratifying to make and strengthen connections with my Botany fam. 💖 you all! Unfortunately, my sore throat on Thurs morning was not karaoke related...I have COVID, so test yourself :(

Well #botany2025 you were a dream per usual.

This Dr in her thirties got called 'kiddo' by airport staff on the way out of Palm Springs...

Call to contribute to a Special Collection “Broad-scale classification of European vegetation” in Vegetation Classification and Survey vegsciblog.org/2025/07/31/s...

This should be a lot of fun! Help us find out if BES journal data and code sharing policies are actually working, with a little side bonus quest about data equity 🤓

Yo #Botany2025, heads up for #Botany2026 in Tucson: we will be about one week later than this year. Right here at the Star Pass Resort, August 1-5. Get ready for the lazy river. #plantpeopleFTW

Attending my first BSA Board meeting as President-Elect. So grateful (and excited) to serve in this capacity. Plant peeps are the best peeps. #Botany2025 #Botany2026 #plantpeopleFTW

🍄The Functional traits in primary producers: recent advances and future directions special feature is open for proposals! 🌲The issue will look at approaches in understanding, measuring and predicting traits, and scaling from traits to ecosystem processes buff.ly/VISbRhs%F0%9...

Editors in Chief Rowan Sage @annbot.bsky.social, Briana Gross and Sean Graham @botsocamerica.bsky.social gave honest answers about botanical publishing in a lunchtime discussion at #Botany2025. Takeaway: Support society journals because they're here to support us, not to make money off of us.

Huge shout-out to @botanyballer.bsky.social for his amazing service as a BSA student rep these past two years! I’m really going to miss all the moments we shared working toward a better BSA experience for students. You’ve made a lasting impact! #Botany2025

I'm grateful to @botsocamerica.bsky.social for giving me a Travel Award to attend #Botany2025! These awards really make a difference as an #ECR.

#Botany2025 ECR attendees may be interested in this opportunity (and can increase the representation of plants!).

okay real talk- sometimes when i talk about the fears of being an out queer scientist at this moment, folks are like "idk, you don't really work on that stuff directly, you should be fine" but this is the sort of thing i'm thinking about when i worry!

Sometimes (especially late in the conference) 5 minute talks just hit the spot! Thorough enjoying Germinating Ideas/Lightening Talks at #Botany2025 Got to see my senior undergrad Magdalyn Rowley-Lange crush her CAM talk ...and we got to see dogs hunting invasive plants!

#botany2025 has been such a wild ride I have to shout out @melaniemadrigal.bsky.social who won best phytochemistry talk on HER FIRST TALK EVER! for her work on GWA of Botrytis resistance to plant VOCs

Germinating ideas lightning talks are going by fast in Mesquite C! #Botany2025 don't miss them!

If you need a visual pick-me-up to get through the last session of #Botany2025, come listen to me talk about using a conservation dog to find #truffle #biodiversity in the Mycology section at 2PM (Sierra room). I promise golden retriever pics!

Don’t miss our section sponsored symposium Trees, Traits and Time at 1:30 pm in Catalina. #bsaecophys #botany2025

I’m vending at #Botany2025 ! I’ve made a bunch of great connections and I’m selling prints and stickers of my artwork. I also do commissions and I have a free comic about the alternation of generations!

Fantastic talk right now by Jill Anderson about maladaptive plasticity in Boechera phenology! #Botany2025 It's really giving some good perspective for LTER data!

Flowering #phenology responses to early snow melt can maladaptive at lower elevations, delaying flowering. This also happens in seed germination. #Botany2025 #RMBL

Hi #Botany2025 - In my quest to never do flow cytometry again, I am collecting sequence data (radseq, target enrichment, WGS, ect.) with confirmed ploidal level. If you have samples, reach out!

Was this an effective talk prep method? Only way to find out is to be in Repro Processes at 10:15, out of the coffee break. #Botany2025 #Solanum
