Delayed seed germination is a widespread strategy allowing plants to cope with environmental uncertainty. Using > 14,000 germination records from nearly 1000 European species, we show that delayed ge...
Trop. ecosystem harbor ~75% of the world’s angiosperms yet remain underrepresented in ecological studies.
#TSTD published in @newphyt.bsky.social bridges this gap (with 137k+ records, 44 #SeedTraits, 5K+ Spp. from 33 countries) built by 200+ researchers of #TSTDConsortium.

In India, #CitizenScience is thriving—but plants are missing from the spotlight.
📊 Analysis of #CitSciIndia (2020–23) conferences (citsci-india.org) show:
78% projects focus on fauna 🐦🦋
Only 15% have sole focus on flora 🌿
This imbalance reflects #PlantBlindness
