Crime Pays But Botany Doesn't

A Low-Brow, Crass Approach to Plant Ecology & Evolution as muttered by a Misanthropic Chicago Italian.  We study plants through the lens of ecology and evolution, rather than what supposed anthropocentric uses they can provide (as if holding up the biosphere wasn't enough).

If you enjoy this kind of  light-hearted education, be aware that your contributions help support it.

Thanks for reading. Have a great day and go f*ck yourself.
