Herbaria under threat. Well, not just from fire. We the community keep saying it; from lack of funding towards scientific museum collections #fundmuseums bbc.co.uk/news/science-e…

Peatland loss is a global problem and largely non-tropical. Yes there are large extents at low latitudes but most of them are at high latitudes in industrialised nations. archive.researchdata.leeds.ac.uk/251/1/PEATMAP.…

Did you know that mosses and lichens help to cool down the climate and that they are vital for #biodiversity? There are over 900 bryophyte species found in Finland, representing half of the European bryophyte diversity. #HelsinkiSustainability @luomus helsinki.fi/en/news/life-s…

Liv­ing moss car­pets have a vi­tal im­pact on biod­iversity. Currently, 20% of the bryophyte diversity have been classified as threatened and 4% as regionally extinct in Finland. @xiaolan_he @helsinkiuni

Happy misty Sunday morning with Lunularia cruciata -Crescent-cup Liverwort. #liverwort #bryophytes @SEBriologia @NC_Bryophytes @Marchantia @dziedava @botany_beck

Diphyscium, Pogonatum and Hypopterugium.

Congrats to @JeanMichelAne! UW research has identified corn that can acquire its own N. Now we'll have to wait and see if/when this can be introduced into commercial hybrids. Science is so exciting! news.wisc.edu/corn-that-acqu…

Intron distribution and several other genomic traits do not correlate with organismal complexity and multicellularity. Nice work. Genome-wide features of introns are evolutionary decoupled among themselves and from genome size throughout Eukarya. biorxiv.org/content/early/…

#EMBOplantevo topics continues in Helsinki @helsinkiuni

Thanks for sharing @MartinAle1981. Quite many of us! twitter.com/MartinAle1981/…

#EMBOplantevo, #Lisbon, thank you!

Actually this tree is Jacaranda mimosifolia, thanks to @Leif_Sch

Saw this beauty on the airplane! Dalbergia nigra. Lisbon.

Tomorrow will be in Lisbon for #EMBOplantevo, exciting!

An interesting and important research project! twitter.com/RensingStefan/…

Thank you Juan for the interesting talk on Chilen bryophytes! #Bryology

Welcome Dr. Juan Larraín visiting our herbarium! During the next three weeks he will be studying important bryophyte collections from Chile.
