Ever been in South Florida and wondered what that tree with the shiny silver leaves is? Wonder no more! @AlyssaKullberg tells us all about the silver buttonwood (Conocarpus erectus) in @junglebiology's latest tree profile.

One of the more common and charismatic trees in South Florida is the Gumbo limbo (Bursera simaruba, Burseraceae). In this video @ManuelBernalE tells us about the Gumbo limbo and it's flaky red bark (which gives the tree its common monikers of "tourist tree" or "sunburn tree")

The avocado🥑is a ubiquitous fruit in Miami and throughout the tropics, but how much do you know about the tree it comes from? Learn all about Persea americana (Lauraceae) from @nataly_2912 in this week's tree profile.

This week @ecoxtine introduces us to Lignum vitae (Guaiacum sanctum, Zygophyllaceae). This small tree is a South Florida and Caribbean native, famous for it's incredibly hard wood. The wood is so dense that it sinks in water and has been used for making axels and ball bearings!

I am in shock how Wiley disregarded academic freedom and editorial independence. As effect, Janet Franklin resigned as EiC, and many AEs follow her lead and are resigning - I already have. Sad for all the work of Dave Richardson and Janet and worried about DDI's future. - Damaris
