Lithops, the “living stones”
Succulents evolved to mimic rocks, helping them conserve water and avoid predators. A small but brilliant example of plant adaptation.

A new interpretable #MachineLearning approach to identify plant traits associated with #PlantAdaptation to divergent ecoregions

New in #AppsPlantSci by Sambadi Majumder & Chase Mason (@plantevoecophys.bsky.social)

bsapubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.... #ecophysiology #Helianthus #botany
Six maps of the two Level I ecoregions used in this study (the Great Plains, in pink, and the North American Deserts, in blue), showing visualizations of the predictions made using the gradient boosting machine (GBM) classifier, where points represent populations of Helianthus annuus. Each facet represents populations where a given proportion of genotypes was correctly predicted, arranged in descending order—all genotypes correctly predicted, four out of five, three out of four, two out of three, one out of two, and one out of four.

As branches age, stems thicken, needles spread out, less self-shading. This dynamic may further support long-term survival in low light. (10/10)
