@BritishSpiders @WildlifeMag @MeganShersby Hi! It seems to be all corrected now (the image and the species name). I think it just takes a while for the changes to go live sometimes, hence the delay. Thanks so much for alerting me to it!

[Dr Leoma Williams @Leomavlw]

Look out for my newest feature in this month's BBC Wildlife Magazine where I'm talking about same-sex sexual behaviors in animals! (As well as the naturalistic fallacy and why we don't actually need to see things in nature to embrace it in humans) @WildlifeMag 🌈

NEW: Conservatives are safeguarding scientific research from the denial of biology and the steady creep of political correctness.

[Nature Portfolio @NaturePortfolio]

Same-sex sexual behaviour may have evolved repeatedly in mammals, according to a @NatureComms paper. The authors suggest that this behaviour may play an adaptive role in social bonding and reducing conflict. https://t.co/aekUGKa4yf
