Colin Tudge's amazing book, The Variety of Life is not a field guide, but it is a survey and celebration of all the things that have ever lived. I cannot recommend this book enough. Newcomb's Wildflower Guide truly is the most effective key that I have ever used. Positively genius. A Field Guide to Trees and Shrubs by George Petrides is the best guide to woody plants in my region. Jean-Baptiste Lamarck's first widely distributed field guide was Flore Francaise. Lawrence Griffings paper about Richard Waller's rediscovered key can be found in its entirety here. The National Library of Medicine has this amazing series of blog posts on the history of herbals and floras, books that were the precursors to field guides in medieval Europe. Cornell Ornithology Lab's Merlin app really is amazing and is available to download for free.

Las cepas de cannabis se conocen comúnmente como sativa, índica o híbrida y tienen diferentes efectos.Hay un mar infinito de opciones con las variedades de cannabis, pero ¿cuál es la diferencia entre una índica, una sativa o un híbrido?Si alguna vez has examinado las variedades de cannabis o las has comprado en un dispensario, es posible que hayas notado tres categorías en las que los productos se clasifican comúnmente: índica, sativa o híbrida. La mayoría de los consumidores de cannabis usan estas categorías cuando deciden los efectos que pueden sentir de lo que están comprando, pero ¿cuáles son las diferencias entre ellos?¿Cuál es la diferencia entre las tres categorías de variedades de cannabis?En general, la mayoría de las personas se refieren a las índicas cuando piensan en variedades relajantes y sedantes, y a las sativas cuando piensan en variedades de cannabis estimulantes y enérgicas. Los híbridos se encuentran en algún lugar en el medio de este espectro y pueden inclinarse más hacia cualquiera de los dos tipos.Sin embargo, esta línea de pensamiento no siempre es precisa. A medida que la investigación sobre el cannabis continúa expandiéndose, queda claro que los cannabinoides y los terpenos en una variedad determinan los efectos, los sabores y el aroma. A veces, una variedad índica no te dará esa clásica sensación de estar en el sofá, y algunas sativas no serán tan estimulantes como otras.¿Dónde se originaron estos términos?Sativa e indica son términos que originalmente describen diferentes especies de plantas de cannabis. La evidencia más temprana del consumo humano de cannabis se remonta a Asia y Oriente Medio antes de trasladarse a otras partes del mundo y evolucionar. Las plantas se adaptan a su entorno, lo que crea las diferentes formas en que crecen las plantas de cannabis.Las sativas se adaptaron a ambientes húmedos y se desarrollaron en plantas altas y larguiruchas. Las índicas, por otro lado, evolucionaron para sobrevivir en climas secos haciendo que las plantas fueran bajas y robustas para minimizar la pérdida de agua.La genética del cannabis fue distinguida por primera vez por un científico llamado Carl Linneus en 1753, nombrando a la planta "Cannabis sativa L" con la inicial indicando su apellido. Originalmente se creía que el cannabis era un tipo de planta hasta 1785, cuando Jean-Baptiste Lamarck identificó "Cannabis indica Lam" en la India como una versión diferente del cannabis.Con el tiempo, estos términos se simplificaron a sativa e índica. La mayoría de los consumidores de cannabis utilizan estos términos para distinguir las sativas que dan un subidón enérgico y estimulante y las índicas que ofrecen una sensación suave y relajanteSin embargo, los terpenos y los cannabinoides como el THC o el CBD son más directos a la hora de definir los efectos reales que experimentarás con una variedad de cannabis.Cannabinoides y terpenosLos dos cannabinoides a los que se hace referencia con más frecuencia son el THC y el CBD, siendo el primero intoxicante y el segundo no intoxicante. Hay docenas de cannabinoides diferentes y cada uno tiene un conjunto diferente de efectos. Click para escuchar; La diferencia entre flavonoides y terpenos del cannabis. Epi 115.Ciertos cannabinoides también pueden interactuar entre sí a través de los receptores de cannabinoides en nuestro cuerpo. Por ejemplo, el CBD se une a los mismos receptores que el THC, por lo que muchas personas elegirán productos con un nivel equilibrado de cada cannabinoide para obtener un efecto más suave que un producto de THC de alta potencia.Del mismo modo, los terpenos contribuirán directamente a los efectos de una variedad de cannabis. Los terpenos son aceites que se encuentran en muchas plantas, frutas y flores y actualmente se conocen más de 20 mil.En el cannabis, hasta el momento se han identificado más de 100 terpenos. Comprender los diferentes efectos, aromas y sabores de los terpenos te ayudará a encontrar un producto que se adapte más específicamente a tus intereses y puedes obtener más información sobre los más comunes aquí.ÍndicasPor lo general, las cepas índica te harán sentir más relajado y tendrán efectos sedantes. Las índicas también se consideran comúnmente como variedades más adecuadas para relajarse al final del día o antes de acostarse.SativasLas cepas sativas generalmente ofrecen un tipo de subidón estimulante y enérgico. Por lo general, se asocian con la entrega de un conjunto de efectos creativos y que invitan a la reflexión, más adecuados para los consumidores que buscan hacer algo mientras están bajos los efectos de la yerba.Si buscas una cepa para fumar durante el día o que te dé más un subidón mental que una sensación corporal, es probable que las sativas sean el camino a seguir.HíbridosLos híbridos son un término medio entre las cepas sativa e índica. Muchos dan una sensación de 50/50 entre los dos tipos de cepa, pero también puedes encontrar híbridos de dominancia índica e híbridos de dominancia sativa. Estas cepas siguen siendo híbridas, pero se inclinarán más hacia uno de los dos tipos. Casi todas las cepas de cannabis de la nueva era serán híbridos creados por cultivadores que cruzaron las cepas autóctonas originales en la década de 1970.Usar los términos sativa, índica e híbrido te ayudará a navegar más fácilmente por la industria del cannabis, pero son términos vagos que no determinan directamente los efectos. Si bien los consumidores de cannabis deberían centrarse más en los terpenos y los cannabinoides, el uso de estos términos es un buen punto de partida para comprender los diferentes productos disponibles.

Vous connaissez les animaux à sang froid ? Eh bien, sachez qu'il existe des végétaux... à sang chaud ! Ces plantes, plus précisément, produisent de la chaleur en fonction de leurs besoins. Impulsion végétale Eh oui : la thermogenèse n'est pas l'apanage des seuls animaux. Cette propriété (qui permet une production de chaleur, via l'augmentation du métabolisme cellulaire) est effectivement partagée par d'autres êtres du monde du vivant. Ce phénomène (découvert, pour la première fois en 1777, par le naturaliste et botaniste Jean-Baptiste Lamarck) concerne notamment de nombreuses plantes. Parmi celles-ci, l'on trouve la famille des Aracacae, mais également le lotus, les palmiers, les nymphéacées, des Aristolochiaceae, des wintéracées ou encore des magnoliacées. Tous ces végétaux ont d'ailleurs une qualité commune ; en plus de celle qui leur permet de produire de la chaleur. Disposant de fleurs charnues, ceux-ci utilisent effectivement des insectes pour effectuer leur pollinisation. Dans cette optique, les botanistes estiment donc que la thermogenèse végétale aurait pour fonction principale de disséminer l'odeur de ces plantes, afin d'attirer les insectes. De même, selon la météo environnante, la chaleur produite pourrait également les aider à se protéger du gel. Chaud devant Dit comme ça, l'on pourrait presque penser que la thermogenèse des plantes est quelque chose de vaguement original, mais d'assez peu impressionnant. Ce serait là une véritable erreur ! En effet, certaines espèces végétales provoquent des vagues de chaleur absolument insoupçonnées. Le Philodendron selloum (que l'on trouve au Brésil), par exemple, augmente la température de l'air qui l'environne... d'environ 35°C ! Ce sont précisément ces vapeurs torrides qui sont en mesure de protéger lesdites plantes, lorsque l'air ambiant est proche du gel. Pour parvenir à leurs fins, ces espèces végétales utilisent en fait leurs mitochondries. Ordinairement censées produire suffisamment d'énergie pour faire fonctionner leur métabolisme, ces organites intracellulaires sont alors sur-sollicités pour en produire en surplus. L'énergie générée peut alors se dissiper sous la forme d'une chaleur qui se diffuse dans les environs immédiats de la plante "à sang chaud". De même, c'est ce changement de température qui joue également un rôle dans l'ouverture de la spathe (l'enveloppe qui recouvre l'inflorescence) et permet la diffusion de substances odorantes ; pour, in fine, attirer les insectes pollinisateurs. Sans aucun doute : la Nature est bien faite ! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Charles Darwin revolutionized the biology of today. Evolution has been a crucial concept. Darwin's principle of "natural selection" remains key to understanding this process.Keywords: Darwin's finches, Jean Baptiste Lamarck, Alfred Russell Wallace, Origin of SpeciesSUPPORT: **Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/ScienceWeSpeakSOCIAL MEDIA: *Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sciencewespeak/*Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ScienceWeSpeak*Telegram: https://t.me/sciencewespeak

The theory of evolution has been around for some time now. And it is a theory. Jean-Baptiste Lamarck is noted for being the first person to come up with a fully formed theory of evolution. And Charles Darwin expanded on it in his book “On the Origins of the Species.” But both of them missed something. One premise of both of their opinions was that, as soon as we found the “missing link,” that link between animal and man, that the theory of evolution would then become a fact. But there wouldn't be a missing link. I mean, there wouldn't be just one missing link, there would be tens or hundreds of evolutions. Think of this: We supposedly came out of some mysterious primordial goo into the oceans of the earth. Then we mysteriously developed lungs (who knows why we would do that when 2/3 of the earth is water and there was plenty of food down there for us. Add on to that we didn't need clothes or houses or cars or any of the other “necessities” we have today. So, from the beginning, there was no reason to come out of the oceans. But I digress. According to Lamarck and Darwin, we did come out of the ocean and became ape-like creatures. Then we evolved into man. And this is where I think they got it wrong. An ape-like creature didn't suddenly give birth to Homo Sapiens, modern day man. There would have to have been a gradual progression from one to the other. And that means that there would not be one missing link; there would be hundreds of thousands of them. But we have never found even one? --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/simplechristians/support

Lamarck died lonely, blind, and impoverished in Paris on this day in 1829. He was buried in a common grave. Regarded as the Father of Evolutionary Theory, Lamarck paved the way for Darwin’s Origin of the Species. By 1809, Lamarck had worked out a complete theory of evolution. Lamarck speculated on the inheritability of acquired traits. He believed that all life evolved upward - beginning with dead matter, progressing from simple to complex forms, and ending in “human perfection." A progressive thinker, Lamarck also proposed an early version of continental drift. By 1790 Lamark was working as a botanist at the Royal Herbarium in Paris. As the French Revolution intensified, Lamarck saved the Royal Garden by quietly and ingeniously renaming it. Instead of The Royal Garden, the sign simply read The Garden of Plants. Lamark’s little sign trick worked, and the garden was saved.   December 18, 1930 On this day, The Boston Globe shared a little snippet called “Bathrooms like Gardens.” Here’s an excerpt: “Lady Cromer has her favorite flower, the iris, as the motif of her bathroom. The walls are painted with growing irises in flower on the bank of a river, the river being the bath itself, and the whole effect is that of a charming garden.”   December 18, 1958 On this day, the Statesman Journal out of Salem, Oregon, reported on a 700-Year-Old Tree Saved From Axemen. “[In Seaside, Oregon], a giant 700-year-old Christmas tree has been added to a five-acre tree farm park dedicated to the public. The Sitka Spruce, 195 feet tall and 15 feet, 9 inches in diameter… contains enough wood to build six two-bedroom houses. The ink was barely dry on England's Magna Carta when the spruce sprouted. The tree passed its 500th birthday before the American Revolution. The American Forestry Association, which keeps records on big trees. lists a 180-foot Sitka Spruce in Washington's Olympic National Park as the largest tree. While it boasts an eight-inch edge in diameter, it is 15 feet shorter than Oregon's champion.”    December 18, 2018 Today is the second anniversary of the death of the rose breeder and writer David Austin. When David passed away, I found some old advertisements that he posted in The Observer in 1973. That post was already twelve years after creating his first commercially available Rose - the Constance Spry. A 1973 ad showed how early-on David found his calling. It read: “Old-fashioned roses, shrub roses, rare and unusual roses, many of our own breeding. Roses of charm, and fragrance. The country's finest collection.”A handbook of roses” free.”   Unearthed Words Under the big Swamp Maple in the east lot, the gray geese and the white Pilgrim ganders gather silently. During winter nights, they sleep in the open face tool shed, and often in the night, they think of new expressions of scorn and at once utter them. (“We are the watchdogs, we geese. We saved Rome.”) That peaceful morning they walked on the clinging, moist snow and were still. They looked thoughtful as if contemplating the sense of peace that provided the whole farmscape. I realized to my astonishment that if total peace ever actually befell the whole world all at one time, it would be the most spectacular sight mankind has ever seen.   Nobody would be able to believe it,  or, perhaps,  even to survive it. — Rachel Peden, ecologist and writer, The Land, The People   Grow That Garden Library Edible Landscaping with a Permaculture Twist by Michael Judd This book came out in 2013, and the subtitle is How to Have Your Yard and Eat It Too. In this book, Michael shares his life at his Long Creek Homestead in Frederick, Maryland. Michael’s gorgeous property includes 25 acres of mixed woodland, food forests, gardens, and a nursery designed for experimentation and education. Michael’s book is his how-to manual for following in his footsteps: transforming a sea of grass into a flourishing edible landscape that pleases the eye as well as the taste buds. With his delightful personality and quick humor, Michael explains the complexities of permaculture design into his simple do-it-yourself projects like: Herb Spirals Food Forests Raised-Bed Gardens Earthen Ovens Uncommon Fruits Outdoor Mushroom Cultivation, and more . . . The book features beautiful photography and practical designs that can be easily grafted to the urban landscape's micro-habits, scaled up to the acreage of homesteads, or adapted to already flourishing landscapes. This book is 144 pages of an edible landscaping primer with a permaculture twist to help anyone with a desire to turn their landscape into a luscious and productive edible Eden.

Here’s an excerpt: “Tom, 54, is a boy on a great adventure. It's as if he has played in every tree's branches, smelled and felt every leaf. He uses careful, precise words when he talks about the textures of leaves: crisp, refined, leathery, or lacy. It is the same with bark. One is striated, another like patchwork. Still, another is smooth like silk. Tom describes in meticulous detail how certain trees will look in 10 or 15 years. He envisions the blossoms, leaf color, or berries the trees will display at different ages and seasons. Tom purchased 14 acres, built a house, planted trees on half the property, and started his private Arboretum, which he shares with garden clubs and groups like Trees Atlanta. Now he has 600 trees, with varieties representing 38 countries, and he tends them all himself. Small signs identify each by genus and species. His wife Evelyn does some weeding and mulching, but he doesn't ask her to water. Or mow. He cuts the grass, careful to avoid nicking a tree.  Evelyn travels with her husband to many weekend plant shows. She calls their 10-year-old station wagon the "dirt mobile." Tom calls it the "plant mobile." She laughs about her trips home, crowded by some 60 to 70 plants.  Evelyn said, "I've had to fend off an occasional spider or two. Most of all, I just enjoy seeing him enjoy it. When he first started, he'd buy bare-root plants and call me outside every Saturday to look at a new bundle of sticks and at tree bark. He's really into bark, you know." To Tom, unusual trees aren't hard to grow, just hard to find because nobody asks for them. His Japanese apricot, which blooms bright orange in February, is one example. "Everybody would have one if they only knew about it." And, he often spots unusual trees in local hardware stores. One of his favorite evergreen trees is a Japanese black cedar he bought at an Ace Hardware in south Atlanta.   Thanks for listening to The Daily Gardener. And remember: "For a happy, healthy life, garden every day."

The work of polymath Gregory Bateson has long been the road to cybernetics travelled by those approaching this trans-disciplinary field from the direction of the social sciences and even the humanities.  Fortunately for devotees of Bateson’s expansive vision, Peter Harries-Jones has continued the expert analysis that gave us 1995’s A Recursive Vision: Ecological Understanding and Gregory Bateson, with his 2016 offering, Upside-Down Gods: Gregory Bateson’s World of Difference (Fordham University Press, 2016). Harries-Jones has clearly thought deeply about the totality of Bateson’s corpus while drawing upon a wide variety of sources including personal correspondence. The result is an illuminating study that, amongst other accomplishments, productively positions Bateson’s work as a foundation of today’s burgeoning field of biosemiotics.  In our wide-ranging conversation, Harries-Jones warns us of the perils of a strictly algorithmic “world without mind,” details Bateson’s intellectual tussle with Bertrand Russell’s Theory of Logical Types, and amplifies Bateson’s bold challenges to the social sciences to let go of the centrality of power and control and replace them with an appreciation of aesthetics and form, to heal the “epistemic cut” between the human and the animal, and even dare to recuperate selected elements of the thought of Jean-Baptiste Lamarck in a challenge to Darwinian orthodoxy.  All of this makes for a conversation that is as incisive and articulate as his highly readable monograph asking us to carefully consider the intellectual and ecological benefits of Bateson’s “upside down” ontology with “mind” as foundation rather than emergent phenomenon.

The result is an illuminating study that, amongst other accomplishments, productively positions Bateson’s work as a foundation of today’s burgeoning field of biosemiotics.  In our wide-ranging conversation, Harries-Jones warns us of the perils of a strictly algorithmic “world without mind,” details Bateson’s intellectual tussle with Bertrand Russell’s Theory of Logical Types, and amplifies Bateson’s bold challenges to the social sciences to let go of the centrality of power and control and replace them with an appreciation of aesthetics and form, to heal the “epistemic cut” between the human and the animal, and even dare to recuperate selected elements of the thought of Jean-Baptiste Lamarck in a challenge to Darwinian orthodoxy.  All of this makes for a conversation that is as incisive and articulate as his highly readable monograph asking us to carefully consider the intellectual and ecological benefits of Bateson’s “upside down” ontology with “mind” as foundation rather than emergent phenomenon.

Beginning with a discussion about Black Lives Matter may seem like an unlikely place to start a book about nineteenth century science and culture. However, by contrasting Black lives with White feelings, Kyla Schuller sets up the central conflict of her book. The Biopolitics of Feeling: Race, Sex, and Science in the Nineteenth Century (Duke University Press, 2017) interrogates the role of sexual difference in the management of racialized populations, making this book a necessary read for understanding the history of such current social movements as Black Lives Matter and the trans* exclusionary “Pussy hat” feminism. From the very beginning of the book, our conceptions of nineteenth-century science are challenged. For much of the century, many US scientists championed Jean-Baptiste Lamarck over Charles Darwin as their most prominent influence. In their quest to refute determinist theories of heredity, the neo-Lamarckians of the American School of Evolution advocated for a self-directed version of evolution. These scientists argued that Anglo-Saxons have the most adaptable features and impressionable heredity. This impressionability was what made Whites more sentimental and civilized than other races, who were not as impressionable and seen as largely stuck in a prior stage of progressivist evolution, according to E.D. Cope and the American School of Evolution. Whites were also seen as having greater sexual dimorphism than other races, while women of color were not seen as achieving true womanhood. Kyla therefore finds the origin of binary sex enveloped in racialized difference. Beyond the subject of evolutionary science, this book introduces us to the Black uplift project of Frances Harper, the vagina politics of Dr. Elizabeth Blackwell and Dr. Mary Walker, the biophilanthropy of Charles Loring Brace, and the assemblage theories of W.E.B. DuBois. The Biopolitics of Feeling is packed with interesting, and sometimes shocking, historical anecdotes, such as Walker's sex advice book to men in 1878, E.D. Cope's sometimes destructive and violent rivalry with O.C. Marsh, and the “orphan trains” that took two hundred thousand kids out West for educational and labor purposes. The breadth of this book shouldd be of interest to a number of scholars interested in the history of science, literature, and medicine. Meanwhile, Kyla's engagement and challenge to New Materialist theories is likely to be canonical for future Feminist STS scholars. Chad J. Valasek is a Ph.D. Candidate in Sociology & Science Studies at the University of California, San Diego.

Today, we associate the theory of evolution with Charles Darwin. But in America in the nineteenth-century, and well into the twentieth, the evolutionary theory of Jean-Baptiste Lamarck were far more influential than Darwin's. In this episode, Kyla Schuller (Rutgers) and Britt Rusert (UMass Amherst) discuss the ways that Lamarckian thought influenced attitudes toward sentimentalism, child development, physiology, and race. Schuller takes up these topics in her book The Biopolitics of Feeling: Race, Sex, and Science in the Nineteenth Century (Duke 2017), and here she expands on them and asks how we adapt our thinking about biopower to the Age of Trump. Episode produced by Britt Rusert (UMass Amherst). Post-production help from Mark Sussman.

Back when Charles Darwin presented his theory of evolution by natural selection, French biologist Jean-Baptiste Lamarck suggested something different - that the changes you are exposed to during your lifetime can be passed on to future generations. By this theory, giraffes have long necks because, over generations, they have stretched them, reaching for leaves. This theory became laughable when genes were discovered as the means of heredity. Lifestyle choices cannot be passed down in your DNA, or so we thought….But recently this idea has returned and a new field of biology has emerged called epigenetics – which looks at how the genes we inherit from our parents are controlled and modified by their life experience and the choices they made. Marnie Chesterton meets the survivors of the Dutch Famine of World War Two, whose grandchildren show health effects from that event despite being born three generations after the starvation of 1944. As the new field of epigenetics develops, does this mean Lamarck was right all along? Can your lifestyle be passed on to future generations and does this mean we need to rethink our traditional view of evolution? Do you have a question we can turn into a programme?

Jean-Baptiste Lamarck might today say, echoing the words of Mark Twain, “The report of my death was an exaggeration.” Lamarck's theory of the inheritance of acquired characteristics, once derided as “soft inheritance,” has been revived through the field of epigenetics: the study of alterations in gene expression or phenotype caused by mechanisms other than primary alterations in nucleotide sequence, and through transgenerational epigenetics, the study of the inheritability of such effects.… read more »

Jean Baptiste Lamarck's mechanism for evolution was wrong, as history shows, and that fact has haunted his memory ever since. But ideas and theories have ways of being resurrected and, in recent years, there are hints out there that Lamarck wasn’t completely off base when he proposed his theory for the evolution of species.

Jean-Baptiste Lamarck was a French biologist in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, and can be credited with a number of advances in the study of species origins and (in particular) invertebrate biology. Lamarck was an early proponent of evolution via natural causes, decades before Darwin's introduction of natural selection as the mechanism behind it. Despite Lamarck's bona fide contributions to science, he's now remembered mainly in connection with the discredited theory of evolutionary change as the "inheritance of acquired traits" (a.k.a. Lamarckism or Lamarckian evolution). While he did promote a form of the theory that now bears his name, it should be noted that he didn't originate it, he was far from the only scientist to promote it, and many of the excesses of "Lamarckism" can be traced to proponents of the theory that lived long after him (Kammerer and Lysenko, in particular). After years of abuse in textbooks, it's ironic that Lamarckian evolution actually has some basis in fact -- but only at the cellular level, and in sociological studies of cultural evolution. Listen to this week's episode, and you'll have a much fuller understanding of this poorly understood, and often unappreciated scientific pathfinder.

Melvyn Bragg discusses Jean-Baptiste Lamarck, the 18th century French scientist.Charles Darwin defined Natural Selection in On the Origin of Species, “Variations, however slight and from whatever cause proceeding, if they be in any degree profitable to the individuals of a species… will tend to the preservation of such individuals, and will generally be inherited by the offspring”. It was a simple idea that had instant recognition, “How extremely stupid not to have thought of that!” said T H Huxley. However, Darwin did not invent the idea of evolution and not everyone saw his ideas as original. The great geologist Charles Lyell repeatedly referred to “Lamarck’s theory as modified by Darwin”, Darwin complained to him, “I believe this way of putting the case is very injurious to its acceptance”. He desperately wanted to escape the shadow of this genuine scientific precursor and what has become known as the ‘Lamarckian Heresy’ has maintained a ghostly presence on the fringes of biology to this day.Who was Lamarck? How did Natural Selection escape from his shadow and gain acceptance from the scientific establishment? And has any evidence emerged that might challenge the elegant simplicity of Darwin’s big idea?With Sandy Knapp, Senior Botanist at the Natural History Museum, Steve Jones, Professor of Genetics in the Galton Laboratory at University College London and author of Almost Like a Whale: The Origin of Species Updated; Simon Conway Morris, Professor of Evolutionary Paleobiology at Cambridge University.
