Floral handling can be energetically costly for bees, yet these costs are rarely measured. Watch #ProcB author Natacha Rossi talk about research that provides the first direct quantification of the metabolic cost of floral buzzing in bumblebees: cassyni.com/events/51q37... #ecology

I am not aware of much work in /computing Laplacian eigenfunctions of inhomogenous materials/

The pond very close to my home is such a refuge when my mental health takes a nose dive. Seeing and documenting these wee creatures helps when my stupid brain is not playing fair. How lucky we are to have these gorgeous wee friends in nature! #sketchbook #ducks #mentalhealth #geese #birds #drawing

Awesome opportunity to work on macroevolution & diversification of fish at the Oklahoma Museum of Natural History!

This is amazing. They actually quantified the tetrahedral color and color perception of hummingbirds. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Newly published in Austral Entomology: Freitas et al. revise the butterfly genus Hyalyris, using molecular and morphological evidence to split lineages, reclassify species, and describe a new subspecies in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest.

Is there established terminology for /somehow the local git clone broke someway and didn’t compile, but starting again from scratch and it does compile/?
