May 29	comment	Do trees really get a large share of their mass from the carbon in the air? If increasing CO2 increases plant growth, then CO2 by definition limits plant growth. Your answer is good and but the limitation of plant growth is more complex than implied.
May 27	comment	What is an simple way to burn glucose for visible effect? You need to define "burn". In this context, it sounds like a synonym for "oxidize"
May 26	comment	What is an simple way to burn glucose for visible effect? Or put it in a balloon and watch the balloon inflate as the bread is converted to co2 by microbes
May 16	comment	Death because of distilled water consumption But if you drink distilled water and eat salt, there should be no effect?
May 16	comment	Death because of distilled water consumption An empirical if not wise approach
May 15	comment	Is the “Great Pacific Garbage Patch” beneficial for marine wildlife? References? especially for the effects of habitat on biodiversity?
May 11	comment	What generates variation in a species? @John yes, there is also epigenetics
May 8	comment	What is the most difficult feature to explain evolutionarily? @andrei what role does belief play in science?
May 8	comment	What is the most difficult feature to explain evolutionarily? saw fit to develop? Please explain this in an evolutionary framework
May 3	accepted	Does the use of “var”, “x”, and/or “ssp” in a scientific name provide specific information?
May 3	comment	Does the use of “var”, “x”, and/or “ssp” in a scientific name provide specific information? thank you for taking the time to do so.
May 2	comment	How do plants intake minerals through their leaves? A nice review by Wocjik (2004)
May 2	comment	Does the use of “var”, “x”, and/or “ssp” in a scientific name provide specific information? I don't dislike your answer, and the recent changes did provide additional information, but it doesn't answer my questions, For example: is the term varietal used only for cultivated plants? i.e. does use of "var" indicate that a species has been cultivated? Also, is there meaning to the different uses of "x", e.g. "Genus x species" vs "Genus species x otherspecies" vs "Genus xspecies"? Finally, is there a biological definition of 'subspecies' - e.g. can subspecies interbreed? Does subspecies have a consistent biological definition, or is it just used to describe distinct populations?
Apr 29	comment	Why is 'Grudger' an evolutionary stable strategy? great question. I hope one or all answers address group selection. Which I don't think was widely accepted at the time that the selfish gene was published.
Apr 26	comment	Does the use of “var”, “x”, and/or “ssp” in a scientific name provide specific information? are there definitions of "var.", "ssp", and "x" available? are they used consistently in the ICZN approved list of plant names?
Apr 26	comment	Does the use of “var”, “x”, and/or “ssp” in a scientific name provide specific information? I know what words are being abbreviated, and what they generally mean. I am wondering if the uses have clear definitions and consistent use

Apr 25	asked	Does the use of “var”, “x”, and/or “ssp” in a scientific name provide specific information?
Apr 24	comment	Effects of beer on muscle recovery after exercise The reference is not relevant - the title says "acute" but the question refers to "even just one beer"
Apr 11	comment	Why do plants have green leaves and not red? @TobiasKienzler green leaves stay cool via transpiration, not because they efficiently use solar radiation.
