Details about the previous study led by Myriam Amari and Emmanuelle Pouydebat and with other #MECADEV and @mnhn.fr members, which could help to improve the welfare of naked mole rats in captivity.

🔎🐟 Un #cœlacanthe observé pour la première fois en Indonésie, dans la Province Nord des Moluques ! Cette observation fait suite à plusieurs années de collaboration internationale, impliquant une équipe du Muséum, et aux données scientifiques rassemblées depuis + 40 ans 👉 www.mnhn.fr/fr/actualite...

👋 Bonjour aux nouveaux arrivés ! Je m'intéresse depuis 2017 aux corneilles parisiennes, en particulier celles baguées au Muséum national d'histoire naturelle. J'ai trois amies corneilles en particulier : Alice, son conjoint Bob et leur petit de l'année, Charlie

The Anatomy of a Borb. By fluffing up their feathers, they trap tiny pockets of air close to their bodies, which acts as insulation. Helping them regulate their temperature.

Triste nouvelle pour la #biodiversité 🔴 Introuvable depuis près de 30 ans, le courlis à bec grêle est désormais considéré comme éteint. Il s’agirait de la toute première extinction d'#oiseau d’Europe continentale connue à ce jour 👉 www.mnhn.fr/fr/actualite...

A field study found that naked mole-rats invade rival colonies to expand their territories and kidnap rivals' offspring, similar to slave-making ants. Eusociality could be an adaptation to mitigate and deter territory and offspring losses. 🧪 zslpublications.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1...

Wisdom the Laysan Albatross is the oldest known wild bird and she recently laid a new egg at the Midway Atoll National Wildlife Refuge in Hawaii. The announcement came via the United States Fish & Wildlife Service's social media on 3 December. #Seabirds www.forbes.com/sites/amanda...

Moving from "Twatter" over to here now, it will take time to build up followers again. I haven't posted for ages there as it just got so awful! In an attempt to kickstart things again, here is not a newly emerged alien, but a recently new born naked mole-rat (with another in the background)!😃

Thrilled to share this paper to which I contributed as a 2nd author! 🎉 We found that providing a diggable substrate positively affects the behavior of naked mole-rats (Heterocephalus glaber) in captivity 🐀 Read in Scientific Reports: www.nature.com/articles/s41... 📄 #AnimalBehavior #AnimalWelfare
