For a change, a proper #milestone. 1000 reads on RG for the #Reticulate origin of modern plane trees (#Platanus, Platanaceae): A nuclear marker puzzle

It's profoundly comforting to see that one's work is still raising interest after more than a decade, especially, something that at the time of publication was harshly attacked by "expert #reviewers" –anonymously of course (#FightTheFog). And ignored by the botanical High Priests beyond the Big Pond 😎😎😎

Delighted by the quasi-geometric #tiling of this #bark. Photos app identified this #tree variously as a London plane, American sycamore, or Oriental plane (all genus #Platanus) in pics of its habit.

A visit to Shinjuku Gyoen in the late afternoon revealed a large crowd of people lying on the grass and relaxing.

Sitting under a large plane tree and seemed to be getting energy from the tree!

We all need now sometimes a little bit of color. Enjoy!

A visibly old #hybridplane #Platanus × #hispanica in #park around lake #Lietzensee in #Berlin. The tree, as a hybrid of non-native #species, harbors a #lower #biodiversity than, for example, an similar old oak tree. However, the adjacent #shorevegetation provides evidence of a #bank #biodiversity. That wasn't always the case, as the shore of the #IceAge #lake was created as a decorative park in the 19th century and is still under #historicpreservation today.
