Excited to finally post about this paper in Paleobiology I’ve been working on with Isaac Krone and @the_rock_hobbit
It’s our first order approximation of what could end up in the fossil record of the future 🦴⏰🐸

I started gathering a list for REUs/Summer research opportunities for undergraduate students in Ecology/Conservation/Evolutionary Biology. Feel share to share with any undergraduate students who may be interested in participating in *PAID* research.

Once upon a time you could just call a bird whatever you wanted to. In 1923 someone collected 92 local names for the Ruddy Duck, among them dicky, dinky, dipper, dapper, dopper, sleepy duck, spatter, dumb-bird, and god-damn.

Glyptodont fossils reveal giant, armored mammals from the Pleistocene era. These ancient creatures, similar to armadillos, were the size of small cars and roamed South America over 10,000 years ago.
Pretty strong evidence of negative mental health effects of doing a PhD.

Our new paper on evidence for parasitism in Laventan glyptodonts in the collections of @ucmpberkeley from a fun trip there in April is out today, led by @jp_zonneveld and @PatriciaHolroyd https://t.co/HStJPFDVJG
Just learned @NatlParkService has crochet patterns including beaver, cactus, and triops! Maybe this will finally convince me to learn crochet.

Nothing in white areas has any chance of being preserved in fossil record (not sedimentary basins). Cool figure from paper showing ranges of two frogs (T. cryptotis & L. diedrus) one of which might get lucky and leave behind legacy, the other has zero hope https://t.co/laL2tSikxH
All set up for our symposium on biotic interchanges at #Evol2024.
If you like historical biogeography and its evolutionary implications, do not miss out. There will be contributions from paleontologists, biogeographers and macroevolution researchers
Tomorrow Tues. 30 July at 9:30
I'm in awe of Palestinian birders who continue taking their binoculars and cameras out after their home became a war zone.
Even when it means risking their lives, they keep going because knowing the birds have returned another year gives them hope.

A systematic review of airplane flights and Covid infections: duration of flight correlated with infection risk, long flights> 6 hours markedly increased risk (25X) and mask use blocked them

BREAKING: This is Rafah tonight.
While all eyes are on the Met Gala, Israel has unleashed its most barbaric bombing of Rafah, massacring trapped civilians in the middle of the night.
Don’t look away.
