This weird alien thing is a whole preserved specimen of Welwitschia mirabilis hosted at @BGM_coll_res. Note the large underground part that cannot be observed in the pics of living plants: most of the body of Welwitschia is in fact a kind of giant carrot!

The 1980s Pharmacological Thesis Revisited 📚 Decades ago, the snowdrop was proposed as candidate for Homer's moly, inspired by its AChE-inhibiting properties. We question this assimilation and delve into interdisciplinary literature to present a compelling case. #Pharmacology

Need to expand your phylogeny with species for which you do not have molecular data? Then consider our new software 'randtip', an "out-of-the-black box" framework to account for phylogenetic uncertainty: https://t.co/lirdXMWwIt @EcologiaUam @GloCEE_EcoEvo @IUCN_TreeOfLife

This is largely the reason why PD performs well in capturing realized plant benefits, as we showed in a previous publication:

Happy to share my latest publication! Here, I show that conserving evolutionarily distinct plants is good not only because they are evolutionarily "original"; they also tend to be multi-beneficial! @GloCEE_EcoEvo @IUCN_TreeOfLife https://t.co/dDLVDi5R4k
