The ‘upside-down’ jellyfish (Cassiopea sp.) thrives in near-shore marine habitats. It is commonly found on seagrass beds or in mangrove forests, resting its exumbrella against the sediment - exposing its oral arms to the sunlight. Why this fellow is sunbathing all the time? Its oral arms carry symbiotic zooxanthellae, dinoflagellates (marine algae) of the genus Symbiodinium that assimilate carbon and nitrogen for this gelatinous friend.

A paper I did illustrations for was published in the journal of Ecology and Evolution this week! When forests burn, bats who like dense cover leave, but other species of bats that prefer open areas move in! Read the article here. Thanks to author Rachel Blakey for having me paint these!

Saguaro Cactus Pollination (Carnegiea gigantean)
“Lesser long-nosed bats are the primary pollinators of saguaro cacti. Gila woodpeckers feed on the ripe fruits and aid in seed dispersal.“

hey it’s ur boi here to fuck with your culinary-based perception of fruits
“where do strawberries fit in” WELL strawberries aren’t true fruits. Their seeds are the fruit (achenes) but the flesh is derived from other parts of the flower base. Blackberries and raspberries also aren’t berries - they’re clusters of individual drupes. Pineapples and mulberries aren’t simple fruits either - they’re both formed from many separate flowers whose fruits grow together. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
This isn’t 100% comprehensive but covers most classifications. No ref links this time as all the content came from my NYBG Plant Morphology coursework.

We have some amazing books (and book covers) in our library. Here are three books about our National Parks.
A Big-Picture View of the Invasive Plant Problem | CompassLive
Invasive plants are increasingly altering the structure and function of our natural environment, and now researchers have determined how far-reaching the problem has become.
According to a study conducted by U.S. Forest Service and university scientists and published in the journal NeoBiota, at least one invasive species is present in 39 percent of forested plots sampled nationwide for invasive plants by the Forest Service Forest Inventory and Analysis (FIA) program. Results are provided for all U.S. regions and reveal that a significant portion of the more than 741 million acres of forested land in the United States has been invaded.
Eastern forests have higher invasion-intensity — that is, a higher percentage of FIA sample sites containing invasive plants of concern in the region or individual states within — than western forests (46 percent vs. 11 percent). Hawaii’s forests have the highest invasion-intensity (70 percent), while forests in Alaska (6 percent) and the Intermountain region (6 percent) have the lowest invasion-intensity. The researchers created a U.S. map of invasion-intensity to illustrate the extent of the problem and help inform management actions across the landscape.
When I moved to CT for a summer, I had a really difficult time grasping the concept of “weeds” as they saw them. The next summer in CA, I had many discussions with one of my coworkers, who was from NYC, about invasive plants. I think this vividly illustrates why we approached the concepts so differently…
