Species that require long-day conditions to flower are not advancing their flowering phenology as fast as species without photoperiod requirements by Karen Zeng et al. in @annbot.bsky.social

Short-day plants and day-neutral plants are advancing their flowering times with climate change, while long-day plants are lagging behind. This delay could put long-day species at a competitive disadvantage as their flowering times fail to keep up with changes in the environment, potentially impacting their interactions with pollinators and competitors.

Someone brought this blue dragon (Glaucus atlanticus, a type of sea slug) to the surf lifesaving tent at Coogee beach while I was on patrol yesterday. These cool things eat bluebottles and store up the stings, so don't touch!

Sorry Kimberly. We still have LOTS of species and communities that need listing, unfortunately. Do you know anyone who could help you to nominate them for consideration by the NSW threatened species scientific committee?

@angelamoles.bsky.social just brought me so much joy, being Christmasy and giving me to perfect intro to mistletoe, which I know nothing about. She discussed the importance of going out and testing theories (in this case to work out where mustletoe likely grows in trees) 🎄🌲 #ESAus2024
