@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.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.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..

@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.socialNice demonstration of different pollinator species "pulling" floral morphology in different directions for optimal pollen deposition, in two South African wildflower species

@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

@kingconsult@berlin.socialRE: #SocialMedia-Plattformen z.B. belohnen tendenziell Tempo, Zuspitzung und Emotionalität. #Wissenschaft funktioniert aber oft anders: langsam, überprüfend, mit Einschränkungen, «einerseits-andererseits» und «da muss man differenzieren».
