Homo sapiens and the environmental mismatch hypothesis

"It is possible that the rapid industrialisation of our habitat is outpacing our adaptive capacity & is imposing selective pressures that threaten our evolutionary fitness." Longman & Shaw

Global inequality in environmental conditions underpinning human rights

Local environmental justice is not enough; it requires an international environmental justice.

What is unusual is to have Quercus ilex (holm oak) flowering in autumn while producing acorns. The high temperatures of this autumn are likely responsible

La alta frecuencia de perturbaciones puede generar adaptaciones. Un intervalo de 75 años entre dos inundaciones (2024 color, 1949 BN) parece ser no suficiente para adaptarse.

The autumn-winter flowering of #Erica multiflora has always intrigued me. I wonder if their exerted anthers may facilitate some wind #pollination in this species
