New paper by my colleagues and I on the reproductive anatomy of a leopard seal 🦭
Leopard seal reproduction is mostly unknown. This note from a @MonashUni dissection discusses the importance of morphology in providing some clues.

@MarkWitton From what I’ve heard, the scattering thing has erased the main reason why people like me (and presumably you) used this site: the outreach and networking.
I can’t be bothered to put in the effort again on an orders of magnitude smaller audience. Been thinking about just exiting.
Our book Thylacine comes with free shipping within Australia and New Zealand until 3 September if you use the code FATHERS23 as per the link

@iheartguitar I feel the same way. I put in a lot of effort to try & build a presence, network, & space here. The community at one point was really wonderful, useful, & exciting.
Now it's all gone & replaced with *gestures to all of it* this shit.
I'm waiting for the final reason to leave.
The ecological impact of wolf reintroduction to Britain. A wolf ecologist’s view🧵.
Wolf reintroduction to Britain is again a hot topic in the media. So I want to share what we know about the wolf’s ecological impacts in a model European system, Białowieża Primeval Forest.
@MarkWitton During my PhD I got an impinged ulnar nerve. Had to move to a vertical mouse and take breaks.
During write-up my rotator cuffs failed.
That took lots and lots of physical therapy and steroid inections.
Interested in the hidden sensory superpowers of limb-reduced skinks? Look no further than our new publication on the inner ears of these critters! https://t.co/cdI0vQOYxu
@Judy_Dunlop I got (jokingly) told off for saying "Yes ma'am" to the test convener.
Sorry, but you just can't take the Texan outta a person. It gets baked in.
