Baby rain frogs develop within their eggs - all in a special lab that was built at the Atlanta Botanical Garden. This is direct development... there is no free living tadpole stage.
A study in @NatureComms describes the genes linked to bird song rhythm and tempo and suggests that two genes—Neurexin-1 and Coenzyme Q8A—which are also known to affect human speech, may shape vocal rhythm in birds. https://t.co/2Jk1N7I6k1
By studying a system with innate vocalizations, Pogoniulus tinkerbirds, Sebastianelli et al. find candidate genes that underlie differences in speed in vocal rhythm in this system.

I’m so excited! My first-first author paper AND the first chapter of my PhD is now out in @CurrentBiology : ‘Translocated wild birds are predisposed to learn songs of their ancestral population’: https://t.co/9mjj7Cxp48

Whale communication follows Menzerath's law (= longer sequences are comprised of shorter elements to maximize communicative efficiency)

Since the #eruption began, the #earthquakes have moreorless stopped, and been replaced by seismic tremor.
This is the incoherent background “hum” caused both by magma moving beneath the ground and venting at the surface - seen mainly at higher frequency (blue & green 2nd plot).
Swarming pollen tube growth through the transmitting tract of a single Arabidopsis locule (my submission to last years Nikon Small Worlds competition). Congrats to Mizuta et al who just published a similar "single locule" technique using deep 2PEM imaging: https://t.co/12A6Pz20Dx
The amazing journey of Himalayan zircons!
Transported by rivers and turbidity currents to the Nicobar fan. Then subducted at the Sunda trench, and finally brought to the surface of Sumatra via volcanoes. Insights into crust-mantle interactions.

Big eruption from a spotless region!
The associated flare was only C1.6. As is clear, it occurred right in Earth-strike zone. We expect to greet the CME here on April 14. Thanks @Suntoday for an earlier warning.
First simulation of the atmospheric pressure disturbances generated by the #Tonga volcano explosion compared with observations from different locations. Not bad results for a first guess.
