Climate Change Spells Bad News for Bambi

Optimum vegetation for the roe deer reproductive season is coming earlier in the year, but the birth dates lagging, leaving less forage for deer at a critical time.

Acacia koa
Annals of Botany News in Focus

When does Acacia koa know it’s time to grow up?

Sometimes the best strategy for a young plant is not the same as the best strategy for an old plant. Some heteroblastic plants can switch how they grow but what triggers this?

An orchid matches its scent emission rhythm to the local pollinators

Some flowers only smell at day and some only at night, but how did they evolve these different rhythms? In our study, we investigate if populations of the same orchid species that are more pollinated either at day or at night show different scent emission rhythms.
