Great! Thank you :)

(6) Lastly, we built a model predicting that #ClimateChanges will further increase the prevalence of annual plants worldwide. 🌍🌿🌿🌿 🌏

(5) 🌏 👣 While we knew that annuals are favored in disturbed ecosystems, we were amazed that this pattern scaled up. 👣 Human footprint influences biogeographic patterns of annual prevalence! 🌍 #Conservation

(4) 🔁We found striking evidence for convergent evolution. Different plant families independently embraced the annual life cycle under hot-dry summer🌻🌷🌾. Nature's marvel! 🌳 #Evolution

Niv DeMalach @ndemalach.bsky.social · Nov 16

(3) 🔥 We thought hot & dry conditions were the key to annual prevalence 🌞, but it's all about hot-dry SUMMERS (rather than the yearly average)! This is why there are more annuals in northern Israel (or California) than in most deserts. 🏜️. 🏜️ #ClimateScience

(2) 🌍 Annuals are much rarer than previously thought - just 6% of all plants and 13% of herbaceous plants. Yet, their distribution varies globally. 🌍 Biodiversity

(1) 🌱🌱New insights about the plant world - our Nature paper is out🌍🌍 A great collaboration with Itay Mayrose's group led by our excellent postdoc - Tyler Poppenwimer (highlights and free link below)

Niv DeMalach @ndemalach.bsky.social · Nov 16

Thank! Any specific recommendations (regarding ecology and botany)?

Niv DeMalach @ndemalach.bsky.social · Nov 15

What's the point of going to a second conference if you meet only a subset of the people attending the previous one? I am wondering if there are people here who left Twitter... (so there is a new audience)

Niv DeMalach @ndemalach.bsky.social · Nov 15

Hi all, I am new here. Do you have any ideas on how to get a similar audience as on Twitter? Or is it impossible because most scientists are still there?
