We’re diving into #genetics and #genomics tool, #agrobiodiversity & #environmental #DNA, learning and sharing ideas — and also enjoying the beauty of Pisa together! 🧬🌍
The second day of #ISPLORE2025JP starts with a great overview talk by @theplantlab.bsky.social on hypoxia regulation. Hypoxia is everywhere! #plantscience 🌱🌊
We mourn the passing of our Editor-in-Chief Steve Long.
His vision to establish one of the first journals dedicated to Global Change over 30 years ago was truly ahead of its time. Through GCB, researchers have demonstrated that biology and ecosystems are not simply victims of global change..
This is groundbreaking. Artificial life moving its first steps (and outperforming its natural counterpart)
