“The Chiribiquete are table top mountains located deep in the Colombian Amazon and host many rare endemic species. Helanlin Xiang's work shows that the Chiribiquete Mountains likely upifted before the Early Miocene and could have acted as a long-lived stepping stone, connecting species in the Andes with the Guyana Shield…”

Edward Smith Deevey Jr. (3 December 1914 – 29 November 1988), born in #AlbanyNewYork, was a prominent American #ecologist and #paleolimnologist, and an early protégé of #GEvelynHutchinson at #YaleUniversity. He was a creative pioneer in several areas, including quantitative #palynology, cycling of natural #isotopes, #biogeochemistry, #populationDynamics, #systematics and #ecology of freshwater #zooplankton, and he promoted the use of life tables in ecology. In 1938.

oh dear, this is #OpenAI's #Sora's response to "several tricolporate pollen grains shown in polar and equatorial views". These do look a *little* like tiny bony fruits, but somehow it does not understand what "tri" might signify? #palynology #pollen 🧪🌿

Evidently, #OpenAI's #Sora just hasn't stored meaningful connections between the components of the phrase "triaperturate pollen" and appropriate visual information. Here are two videos I prescribed as "triaperturate pollen grains slowly rotating" #palynology🧪🌿 1/2
