Researchers have found that trees across vast distances sync their fruiting cycles to the sun's rhythms, known as masting. This coordination, influenced by sunlight and climate, maximizes reproductive success while baffling predators. Understanding this could reveal how ecosystems adapt to environmental changes on a continental scale. #Ecology #Trees #NatureScience

#Nature is beautiful, but #cruel. That big #bird is not old there is a #cuckoo (Cuculus canorus) child. Cuckoos don't raise their children, but lay #eggs in other birds #nests. After hatching, the cuckoos crowd out the other chicks and the poor parents feed them as their own. You can see that in this video.
So... #botany peeps? #communication nerds? #Bee beloveds?
I heard a thing - on a YT video re: attempts to understand non-human communication..... about how certain plants, in laboratory settings, created sweeter nectar upon being exposed to the sound of an approaching bee. which of course encourages the bee to other flowers of that type.
This might be the coolest #natureScience fact i've run across in a good while!!!! I'll follow up with the scientist name when I get a moment.
