Interesting small sundew (Drosera sp.) out in heathland near Genoa, VIC on the last orchid scout. Red basal rosette and compact size suggest that it might be D. peltata (as it is now described in Victoria) which is not that common in East Gippsland. Most other taller Drosera out in large numbers between Genoa and Mallacoota probably look more like D. auriculata - although hard to tell for certain without seeing flowers and seeds on both forms.#Sundews #CarniverousPlants #OzPlants #Biodiversity #Ecology #Botany #Photography #Spring #InTheField #Nature #BloomScrolling #EastGippsland #Drosera

“What we’re witnessing is that as #bison move across the landscape, they amplify the nutritional quality and capacity of Yellowstone,” Hamilton said. “Their #grazing likely has important consequences for other herbivores and for the food web as a whole, similar to the changes that occurred in the Serengeti when the wildebeest population recovered.”#rewilding #yellowstone #foodweb #ecology #grasslands https://www.anthropocenemagazine.org/2025/09/yellowstones-bison-revival-shows-the-power-and-complexity-of-rewilding/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=yellowstones-bison-revival-shows-the-power-and-complexity-of-rewilding
