Jaw-dropping

[Jessica Haysom, PhD @thereal_jayhay]

In 2019, we set 10 camera traps from 65-90m in the crown of the world's tallest tropical tree, with no real idea whether they'd get anything at all

They did 🤩

Way to go, Sachin!!! @nemophile_s

[BEE Lab IISER-TVM @BEElab_iisertvm]

Congratulations @nemophile_s (Sachin Bhaskar) for being awarded the Small Research grant from the @BritishEcolSoc. This will fund a part of his PhD work, where he will study the plant-pollinator interactions in the shola grasslands.

Way to go! ⛰️🌼🌻🏵️🪻

Every academic needs friends who have no idea what you research and don't care.

[Anumit Saralkar (he/him) @anumit_s]

Incredible!

Coolest article I've read in a while. So good!

[UAntwerp Funmorph @UAFunMorph]

Contrary to popular belief, #woodpeckers don't have shock absorbers in their heads. @UAFunMorph members Sam Van Wassenbergh and Maja Mielke summarize some fascinating research on woodpecker #biomechanics in a quick study in the current issue @PhysicsToday

Mate search is complex for spiders. Can draglines of silk released by females inform males about the direction females wandered about?All in our latest #BEAS paper led by @_MichelleBeyer_ with @tomerczaczkes @monika_eberhard @jonas_o_wolff @kardelenozgun & Maylis Leiller.

In Ecuador's Amazon rainforest
there is a peculiar creature which looks like a spider with perhaps a wolfs head.... with false yellow eye spots

This is actually a bunny harvestman (Metagryne bicolumnata) - a type of arachnid better known as daddy longlegs.

A cool article about #spiders, how little we know about them, how much we fear them, and how #citizen #science can help their conservation. Let's all start counting spiders!

Meet the Bagworm Moth!
They make mobile protective cases using their surrounding debris. Found this little backpacker on a morning trail along a stream at #iisertvm. Hope they stick around.

Let's take #twitter to work today.
Let me introduce you guys to my #spider family, the Indian Social Spiders 👋 🕷️. They live in big groups, hunting and feeding together. My master's thesis involved studying their group feeding ecology.
How many can you see hunting a bee here?👀

[Anumit Saralkar (he/him) @anumit_s]

Mornings like these are the best. On my way to check a camera trap and chancing upon an Asiatic wild dog pugmark!
@nemophile_s is a good luck charm for real!

[Anumit Saralkar (he/him) @anumit_s]

Felt so heartening to see the #cameratrap stall at @Anvesha_IISER Expo 2023, educating people about the mammalian biodiversity project I helped start with @esitvm on the @tvmiiser campus!
Did you know we've already recorded over 12 species in just 15 months of trapping?
