What fascinates @plosone.org authors about plants? I loved Brian Behnken's reply: "They are remarkable organisms whose outer beauty reflects an equally beautiful dynamic of balance and persistence" #fascinationofplantsday #plantsci #fopd #plantscience
Bee waggle dances are so fascinating! 🐝🐝🐝
Please do feel free to stop me to chat about all things science and publishing at #ExE2026! As a Cornwall native, I'm also happy to recommend places to visit or the best places to buy a pasty!
Nice to hear a success story about reintroducing the critically endangered #axotlotl!
I'll definitely keep my eye out for this! Congratulations Sandy!
This fancy-tailed fossil bird has been all over the news this week! The beautiful tail feathers may have been used for courtship displays. Read more in this @plosone.org article: doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0347641 #paleontology #bird #fossil #ornithology

Our Associate Editor @sarahjose.bsky.social will be attending the Evolution x Ecology 2026 conference hosted by @uniexecec.bsky.social. She'd love to hear more about your research or have a chat about publishing in @plosone.org, @plosbiology.org, or our exciting new journal PLOS Ecosystems! #ExE2026
For #FascinationOfPlantsDay, Associate Editor @sarahjose.bsky.social interviewed some recent #plantsci authors, showing how plants are far more dynamic and adaptable than they first appear, be that through microbial partnerships, molecular signalling or finely tuned defence systems.
