Some plants can monitor #environmental #conditions around them and release #seeds at times #optimal for #dispersal.

#Dandelion seeds close up a bit in #wet #weather and don't travel as far as in their more open, #dry weather form. New #research (Seale et al. 2022) shows that dandelions hold on to seeds in wet weather and release them more in dry weather.

Do #plants exhibit #behavior? I would argue, yes.
