such a cool study reported in @sciam.bsky.social: People listened to "dozens of pairs of mating calls from 16 animal species...humans tended to prefer the same mating calls that animals themselves did." 🌍🧪 www.scientificamerican.com/article/what...

1/8 I am excited to share a new paper from the education side of the lab. There is a lot of anxiety that genAI tools will jeopardize learning gains from homework assignments. Using Bloom's Taxonomy, we analyzed where genAI succeeds and where it struggles. journals.plos.org/plosone/arti...

NASA just dropped this image of Artemis II astronaut Christina Koch looking back at us. The first woman to ever see our planet in its entirety. I’m not crying you’re crying 🥹🔭🧪 📸: NASA

As we send a Black man and a woman around the moon for the first time, let’s remember the trailblazing Black woman Katherine Johnson, whose brilliant calculations were critical to the initial Apollo 11 mission. Her work spanned 33 years at NASA, including contributions to the Space Shuttle program.

And South America!! Cara cara, caracarito.

Crab day it is!

I am excited to share our latest paper, Uniform bacterial genetic diversity along the gut, now out in Nature Communications! www.nature.com/articles/s41.... (1/n)

The American Society of Naturalists standalone meeting (formerly the Asilomar meeting) is being held instead in a mansion on Long Island on Jan 8-12. Mark your calendar. Proposals for symposia are due April 30 www.amnat.org/announcement...

There is nothing to worry about. ‘Julie Andrews is in the cockpit.’ Has now become the best way to deal with all of this. youtu.be/18qgl6SVNf8?...

Some of the Argentine ant ecologists who documented that species' invasive spread in California in the 1990s resurveyed the same sites, and concluded that the ant seems to have hit its physiological limits and has not spread further.

Here are some nice mushrooms

A study published in Nature Ecology & Evolution reports that long-term ocean warming reduces global fish biomass by up to 19.8% annually. Warmer years and marine heatwaves were linked to sharp biomass losses of up to 43.4%. go.nature.com/40b6AIB 🧪 🌍

Congratulations @jaytlennon.bsky.social !! How well deserved!

Every once and a while it is important to check our knowledge.

Big effort, exciting results - our paper on the constraints of thermal limits in tropical insects is now out in @nature.com! 🦋🐝🪰🪲🦗 @ecoresearchzoo3.bsky.social @biologie-uniwue.bsky.social @uni-wuerzburg.de

So somebody forgot the cultures and 28 years later they turn it into an opportunity and a paper? 😇

In case you missed it: our review titled "Spatial structure: shaping the ecology and evolution of microbial communities" is out! 🚨 Let me hit you with some highlights on why spatial structure matters. (and why you should care!) Sharing is appreciated 🙏 🧵👇 doi.org/10.1093/fems...

Excited to share that @michelle-hauer.bsky.social's paper with @katiekliermicrobe.bsky.social @maggielangwig.bsky.social @karthik-a.bsky.social on phage interactions with chemosynthetic symbionts was published today. #NSF and @schmidtocean.bsky.social supported. academic.oup.com/ismecommun/a...

Love this new paper from @tjvmajors.bsky.social and colleagues - looking at contributions of chemosynthetic contributions to net primary productivity with a focus on interesting winter dynamics! agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/...

There is no hierarchy, I repeat, there is no hierarchy.

The idea that humans sit atop an evolutionary hierarchy dates back to 1866, when a scientist drew the first tree of life with "Man" at the top. This inaccurate view still shapes how we think of the animal world, despite decades of genomic evidence proving evolution has no hierarchy. buff.ly/055hdSo

A bouquet of Cladonia #lichen. #Newfoundland, Canada #fungi #fungifriends The lichens are approx 3cm high.

It's the small things in life... Alder Goblets (Ciboria caucus), a tiny cup fungus that appears this time of year on very wet fallen alder catkins. #fungifriends #mycology #naturephotography #fungiphotography

Personally, Im a fan of Frau Hesse. The number of discoveries her agar has made possible are incalculable. Well, actually calculable if people would give her credit …

Alright friends, I've been tasked with making Women in Science stickers for an event and I'm trying to expand both the racial and national diversity of the women who appear. So drop me your favorite women in science (loosely defined here) and, if possible, a symbol you'd use to exemplify their work

❤️❤️❤️
