More or less a Homo sapiens from Artaburu (Homo sapiens), maize will continue to be present in Euskal Herria. Maize, basic for the mouth. The seeds of the plants have been and are the basis of the feeding of our species. At one time the acorn (Quercus robur), millet (Panicum miliaceum) after maize (Zea mays). We currently have wheat (Triticum spp) and rice (Oryza sativa). In the future, soy (Glycine max) or someone knows it.
They don't all expect seeds. There are also those who feed on the flowers that have to give those seeds. And not one, not one, not several. The animals that eat from the flower are used for the pollination of the plants. In exchange for pigs.
Like everyone else, there are also people in Cuba who have outstanding debts. Bat and plant. I don't know what kind of bats are, but the plant does, the Marcgravia evenia. Marcgrevia is a genus that spreads across tropical America with about sixty species.
The species M. evenia is climbing, spreading through the trees and shrubs until they form lianas. It has hanging flowers that are not particularly eye-catching and offers the nectar of those that hang between the leaves in exchange for pollen.
Other species use birds, bees, wasps or lizards to spread pollen. But our Cuban climbers are the bats, their yugo companions. And how do you attract the bat? How on earth would you tell your whereabouts to the bird? With leaves. Generally, the leaves are flat to capture more light and be more efficient in photosynthesis. The leaves of this plant are in the form of parable. The ultrasound wave of the bat finds parabolic 50 times faster than the flat sheet. Parabolic leaf and nectar of the adjoining flower to satiate hunger. By the way, he leaves the pollen of the flower that he has visited before and takes the pollen from that flower to the next. In exchange for pigs.
The day exceeds the night with the spring equinox. This year it happened on 20 March, at 22:59 hours, opening the door of the spring. The Eki prefix means the same thing. Until then the night had been longer. The day and night were twelve hours. Since then, the day is extended... [+]
Time has been on our line for a long time, but the climate is relatively recent. There is no need to clarify too much what climate change is. Explaining what the landscape is is a redder necessity. Conferences, round tables or international conferences on climate change are... [+]
It's time to pick up the fruits and get them on the way to the lagar. Pear (Pyrus communis), apple (Malus x domestica), grape (Vitis vinifera)... It seems a short and quick road, but you have to work a lot of rodeos and their variants until the fruit becomes must and must become... [+]
In the Basque Country, agriculture is the history of permanent colonization. Like everywhere. Before, the land was not cultivated; before, the harvest was not sown; you enjoyed what was not eaten before. They had brought it all from elsewhere. Many of these stories have been... [+]
Returning to the wines that are made with the crops, the left madreselva (Humulus lupulus) is conservative and bitter tasting aggregator. The union of crops and madreselvas produces many dirty jets, especially in beer countries. A friend has just explained to me the stories of... [+]
In our house we met him with the name of madreselva (Humulus lupulus). In fact, we have worked hard and sinister on the banks of the river in our country, coinciding with the expansion of beer. We've learned that it's also called lobster, beer, beer, wart and grass on the left... [+]
Spring has brought the issue to my nose. C. worked at various research centers in New York. Bushdid, M. Oh! Magnasco, L.B. Vosshall and A. An article published by scientists Keller in March 2014 in the prestigious “Science Magazine” produced a great stir. The title says it... [+]
The curious interannual days end, those who eat and drink from the emanations of the earth. I'll eat from the best to the best. Supposedly. Heavy champagne and cava bottles are easy to dance. Even though they are of all kinds today, they were once the cider of the other barrel... [+]
