Tree crown shyness is a natural phenomenon where the crowns of fully grown trees avoid touching each other, creating distinct gaps or channels in the forest canopy. This growth habit may have several advantages: minimize competition for sunlight, crown shyness helps to prevent wind damage, the distance may minimize, spread of diseases and pests & may facilitate a kind of communication between trees. 🌳 #biology #nature #science #Reels #ecology

Trees and land absorbed almost no CO2 last year. Is nature’s carbon sink failing?

Primates face an uncertain future due to climate change

Primates, our closest living relatives in the animal kingdom, are under threat due to climate change. In particular, primates are vulnerable to climate change due to their reliance on stable ecosystems, specific habitats, and specialized diets

Spotted sun orchids (Thelymitra ixioides) in open grassland near Mallacoota, VIC. These are fairly typical forms growing closer to the coast in this area - with larger/bluer flowers opening slightly earlier than plants further inland near Genoa.

Hummingbirds live life on the edge. @KnowableMag looks at how these tiny creatures can shut their bodies down almost completely, fly thousands of miles, sometimes across open oceans, sometimes upside down and backwards, and can generate g-forces high enough to make a fighter pilot black out.

Caladenia alata (fairy fingers / fairy orchid), starting to flower in open grassland near Mallacoota, VIC. Most plants at this location are fairly close to the typical white form - with just a solitary pink-flowering plant out nearby.

Spotted sun orchids (Thelymitra ixioides) starting to flower in open grassland near Genoa, VIC. Plants at this location are generally smaller (with less flowers) than coastal populations closer to Mallacoota and usually open at least a few weeks later.
