A recent study co-authored by #Bucknell Biology Professor Chris Martine reveals how the Martu Aboriginal people's traditional practices, like controlled burning and seed gathering, help native plants thrive in Australia’s deserts. Learn more ➡️ https://t.co/CH7hgDnL4r.

#SICB2025 Bluesky migration appears to be somewhat incomplete ... but I'll be over there with that gang. And in Atlanta IRL for some #SICBplants action. @martinebotany.bsky.social

Excited to have this in my hands! 3rd edition of #Shrubs & Vines of NJ and the Mid-Atlantic States, field guide that Rachel and I first did in '01 - now back in print after a year of text revision, artwork rescanning, and re-creation of the layout. #botany

Wrapped my section of BIOL 201: Bio Inquiries & Observations w/ a focus on history of species "discovery" helped along by @RichardConniff's excellent #SpeciesSeekers book. 15/16 students finishing their 1st semester at #Bucknell, although a bunch still have a Chem exam tonight.

Last Field Botany trip of the semester: Dries Orchards, where we learned about how apples are grown, harvested, processed, and sold... and turned into both sweet and hard cider. #bisonflowers #iamabotanist

Great final trip in Field Botany to Dries Orchards! Got an inside scoop about all things apples — how they are grown, harvested, sorted, packaged, or processed into cider! And also discussed challenges with harvests due to disease and climate change. #BisonFlowers @MartineBotany

After a semester of collecting plants, it was super rewarding to mount specimens for the Wayne E. Manning herbarium at Bucknell University!!! #BisonFlowers @MartineBotany

Shoutout @HaussmannLab for letting our Field Botany class survey tree/shrub recruitment in his backyard: an oak-hickory forest infested by spongy moth (Lymantria dispar). Second pic shows spongy moth egg casings on the bark of a chestnut oak. #BisonFlowers @MartineBotany

I sometimes see a big hornbeam (Carpinus caroliniana) and I sometimes see a big hophornbeam (Ostrya virginiana). But I rarely see them side-by-side. That Ostrya is especially chonk! #thicktrunkthursday #Betulaceae #iamabotanist
