Throughout the federal election campaign, I am looking at elections from Canada's past. Today, it is the 1949 election. The first election for Prime Minister Louis St. Laurent, and with Newfoundland as part of Canada, it led to the biggest Liberal victory in history. 🧵1/12

We will be losing many urban trees just like this in the near future. Look at the impermeable pavement all around them, how was it expected to survive? All trees in urban settings were planted like this. Municipalities should have been planting replacements 20 years ago.

This time of year trends in sea ice concentration are confined to the very outer edges of the #Arctic Ocean. Losses of concentration are smallest in March and April (around the annual maximum). Sea ice concentration = fraction of ice-cover (observed by satellite). More info: doi.org/10.1175/BAMS...

In Polygonaceae, the ocrea, that cylindrical structure above the node (here in Coccoloba uvifera), is believed to be homologous to a stipule. In other families, ocreas may be modified sheathing leaf bases. Homology is very difficult to determine & requires ontogenetic study. #stipule #Botany 🌾🧪🌱

Native to Ontario, blooms mid to late May, a member of the Prunus genus supporting over 300 pollinators. "Serotina" means late and references the lateness of the arrival of the flowers compared to other Prunus sp. which bloom mid to late April in Ontario. Older trees have dark scaly bark.

I’m rewatching The Last of Us Season 1 and I thought I would share little bits of Canadian history when I find them. The Lethbridge Viaduct, built between 1907 and 1909. It is the largest railroad structure in Canada and the largest of its type in the world.

Extinction is one of the most depressing things there is. I totally get wanting to reverse it. BUT. There are things you can be doing right now to PREVENT further extinctions. Consider how you're using your property (even if you rent). Can you create habitat on the area you control? This helps!

Fences transform Western landscapes and devastate wildlife. Fencing laid out for livestock fragments habitat, weakens biodiversity and kills pronghorn who get stuck. One study suggests there may be 620k miles of fence in the West: enough to span to the moon and back. wyofile.com/thousands-of...

Opposite, compound leaves with stipules are uncommon. Here’s a family that does it: Cunoniaceae, a family in the Oxalidales most abundant in the S. Hemisphere. The stipules are interpetiolar. This is Pancheria billardierei of New Caledonia. #stipule #Cononiaceae #Botany 🌾🧪🌱

Ceanothus (#Rhamnaceae) is divided into 2 subgenera based (in part) on stipules! Subgen. Cerastes (=“horned”) has persistent, corky stipules, a pair with each leaf. Subg. Ceanothus has thin, deciduous stipules. This is C. crassifolius with those fantastic horns! 📷: BJ Stacey CCBYNC4 #Botany 🌾🧪🌱

Another ephemeral starting to emerge is Aquilegia canadensis (Wild Columbine). One thing you’ll notice is the striking purple foliage. Many spring plants contain Anthocyanins which act as sunscreen, frost protection and heat absorber. As they mature they’ll fade to their normal green. #nativePlants
