@ruth_mottram@fediscience.orgIn the field of dynamical glaciology, this would be DeConto and Pollard, 2016.
I think it's dead wrong, but it's certainly led to some very interesting studies.and some real advanced in the otherwise moribund calving dynamics sub-field.
Would love to hear other suggestions from #climate (or adjacent) fields..

@outer@mas.toThis basic science advance was made with a rocket sled. (And math.) But rocket sleds are FUN!

@davej@dice.camp“In research [doctoral candidate Colin Domnauer] is preparing for publication, chemical extracts from lab specimens produced behavioural changes in mice similar to those reported in human. [sic]”
So, is it safe to assume that the #mice perceived that they, in turn, were surrounded by even tinier mice? 🤔

@jby@ecoevo.socialBirds nesting in Hawaiian forests steal building material from each other's nests, usually taking from nests they encounter while hunting for prey

Since 2011, millions of tons of a brown algae called Sargassum has washed onto beaches in the Caribbean. The rotting seaweed releases toxic hydrogen sulfide, smelling of rotten eggs, impacting tourism and shore access. It was initially thought Saharan iron dust was the cause, but new #science
@jby@ecoevo.social @laurentperrinet@neuromatch.socialJust discovered the work done at the Hengen lab:

@jby@ecoevo.socialCuckoo eggs match the eggs of their adoptive hosts thanks to (mostly) loci inherited from their mothers, who put them there — impressive multifaceted genomic study #science
@outer@mas.to @jby@ecoevo.socialFruit-eating animals are less diverse in body size, and thereby less well matched to the diversity of fruits they eat and seeds they disperse, in habitats with more human disruption

@ruth_mottram@fediscience.org @outer@mas.to @jby@ecoevo.socialSurveys of plant-pollinator interactions taken almost a century apart show how changing timing of flowering and pollinator activity in a warmer world is reshaping these mutualisms

@jby@ecoevo.socialBlueberry species (genus Vaccinium) circled the Northern Hemisphere to travel from North America to Hawai'i— and then closed the loop to hybridize with a North American species
