Wiliwili tree (Erythrina sandwicensis), native to Hawai'i, thrives in Maui’s dry landscape. Its twisted branches and seasonal orange blooms make it unique. #prettypictures #arne'spictures #photography #maui #hawaii #nature #trees #landscape #travel #islandlife #hiking #tropical #wildlife

My wiliwili is doing FANTASTIC up here in rainy Volcano. Under the eve, in a hot dry microclimate next to the house. xD

The preprint of the first of the batch of parasitoid wasp genomes that we are generating is now out. Erythrina gall wasp is an invasive pest on the Hawaiian wiliwili tree, we were able to generate a HiFi genome using 1/10 of a flowcell, costing only ~$100 for the sequencing.

Wiliwili Blossom

One of Hawaii's native trees and it has an incredible blossom.

Also have a ton of likiko‘i, milo, koai‘a, one wiliwili and a much larger kukui, back at the old house.
I doubt the wiliwili will do well in Volcano, however. It's not even doing well in Holualoa. :P

📢 NEW GENOME ALERT

Erythrina gall wasp, Quadrastichus erythrinae, is an invasive pest on the Hawaiian wiliwili tree. @ymilesz.bsky.social et al. generated its genome assembly from a low amount of input DNA, with a sequencing cost of only ~$100.

Here are some gorgeous endangered #NativePlants we've met on Kaua`i. I'll add their names in their descriptions.💚

The National Tropical Botanical Garden does native plant give-aways for residents. More on that here...

Hawaii's wiliwili tree nearly went extinct from invasive gall wasp. A biocontrol wasp released in 2008 saved it. Without biocontrol, it would likely be gone. Regulators must balance risks of biocontrol against risks of doing nothing.
Is It Time for a New Era in Invasive Species Control?
Regulations make it hard to introduce organisms that quash invasive species. Some experts see missed opportunities.

Went out and touched native plants. The recent rains made Lē'ahi green and the plants are bursting with fruits.

'A'ali'i (D. viscosa), both the gal and guy plants. And some wiliwili (E. sandwicensis) seeds which will be grown and hopefully out planted some day.

I miss volunteering, it helps.

In Hawaii, yes. We had an invasive gall wasp that almost wiped out the wiliwili trees, but a smaller parasitic wasp that preyed specifically on the gall wasp was introduced and it worked brilliantly. Have high hopes for the modified mosquitos that might just bring our birds back from the brink

I’m obsessed with the wiliwili trees in our local nature reserve.

„Přistupuji ke spisovatelskému řemeslu s velkou pokorou. Mám z toho románu velkou radost, mám úplně neskutečné ohlasy,“ pochvaluje si dlouholetý moderátor České televize Vojtěch Bernatský.

Jakých témat se dotýká ve svém prvním románu Když kvete Wiliwili? irozhl.as/ytZ
Bernatský: Doma mi říkají Čapek. Svůj román jsem konzultoval se sedmi piloty a šesti gynekology
„Myslím, že můžu s klidem v duši říct, že jsem moderátor profesionál, ale spisovatel amatér. Mám z toho románu velkou radost, mám úplně neskutečné ohlasy. Až jsem z toho dojatý,“ říká autor.

Mahalo nui to our team today. Congratulations to our mentor, Talia, who recently was awarded as the Employee of the 2nd Quarter with Honolulu Parks and Recreation Department. We worked in a rather small area, but one that was a grove of Wiliwili trees.
