I don't follow all the latest advances in EM closely, and I don't even fully grasp what this means for chromatin biologists, but this is absolutely amazing to see. This is why I love microscopy: things that once existed only in your imagination are suddenly right there in front of your eyes.

In 99 pair dances by wild red-crowned cranes, some movements were sometimes determined by a partner’s previous action, suggesting hidden rules in timing and sequence. doi.org/hb8btj

How salient is human eye appearance compared to that of other primates? This excellent new study by Perea-García et al. suggests that under some conditions, chimp-like eyes actually have a signalling advantage. 🧪 www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

To our dismay, the artist and author Marjane Satrapi has passed away. As she wrote, ordinary Americans and Iranians have more in common with each other than we do with either of our governments, which have far too much in common with each other. We honor her memory and oppose the war.

Love this. Fantastic new study confirming the archosaur position of turtles. And not solely based on molecular data of living species, but now underpinned by anatomical evidence from fossils. Great combo of CT, fossils, Bayesian phylogenetics. Congrats to @semifossorial.bsky.social & team.

Yeah, corporations don't give a damn about scientific integrity.

Sir David Attenborough has a soft spot for #kakapo. We named a kākāpō after him (Attenborough the bird is now ten years old, living on Te Kākahu) and he kindly narrated a short video for us about them, which you can see here: youtu.be/5eZVjQowNvw?.... #attenborough #conservation

How do we know our research results are REAL? We replicate them! Most folks agree but lament on how hard it is to publish these replications. My dearest gentle reader, lament no more! Delighted to unveil: Replication Studies, a new section of Behavioral Ecology 1/ academic.oup.com/beheco/artic...

Live parrots were transported over the Andes for their feathers in ancient Peru, according to research in Nature Communications. Analysis of still-colourful feathers found in a Ychsma-era tomb suggests a complex and widespread economy that predates the Incan empire. go.nature.com/4umFAnh 🏺 🧪

Last year, J. Endler published an inspiring essay in @behavecol.bsky.social on what we should be doing as behavioral ecologists 👉 doi.org/10.1093/beheco/araf029. According to him, "we need to put Ecology back into Behavioural Ecology: we need to make a lot more use of Natural History" (1/5)

Orangutans rely on cultural learning to acquire their complex diets, with social interactions playing a critical role in building the broad knowledge needed for survival in the wild.

4th and final day #MATBIOX #Mathematicalbiology workshop @4euplusalliance.bsky.social @sciencecharles.bsky.social @mff.unikarlova.cuni.cz was dedicated to the panel discussion and goodbyes. 🧪 Many thanks to everyone who participated, even though some had to leave before we took the group picture.

3rd day #MATBIOX #Mathematicalbiology workshop @4euplusalliance.bsky.social @sciencecharles.bsky.social @mff.unikarlova.cuni.cz focusing on physiology and morphogenesis, we learned about current topics and challenges. 🧪 After intensive program we went for well deserved dinner in the evening.

2nd day #MATBIOX #Mathematicalbiology workshop @4euplusalliance.bsky.social @sciencecharles.bsky.social @mff.unikarlova.cuni.cz was after short intro focusing on population biology and we even managed to get into field 🤗 @sorbonne-universite.fr @uniheidelberg.bsky.social @cardiffuni.bsky.social 🧪
