Hey everyone! We're happy to say we've set up an account on #Bluesky for our four Linnean Journals, so give us a follow to stay up to date on our #CurrentScience!
Fear not, we will be sticking around on here too (for now...)

Wow, what a great #MolluscMonday!

[Royal Society Publishing @RSocPublishing]

Before the first permanent colonization of land by arthropods, molluscs made early terrestrial trips lasting at least 15 minutes: https://t.co/G0OHHnoyB6 #ProcB

#ProtectedAreas are key tools against the #Biodiversity crisis. Yet despite being vulnerable, tarantulas are often overlooked. Here, species richness & areas of endemism in Argentine species are investigated, aiming to propose new PCAs!

This #FossilFriday check out the first record of Prosantorhinus rhinos in East Asia & the description of a new species! Now #Extinct, this genus was once common in Europe but not seen in the Asian fossil record until today!

Speciation: the original source of all species! What does it look like & how has it led to the diversity of life seen today? Here, John J Wiens discusses these questions & the different methods of estimating diversification rates!

Sphaerocrystals, small "Maltese crosses" visible in polarized light in plants, were found on seed surfaces and in testa cells in some Euphorbia species, but missing from major clades in the subgenus Esula!

Prehistoric #Dolphin remains found in the Shomyoji Midden off Tokyo Bay share haplotypes with modern populations, suggesting maternal groups of bottlenose and white-sided dolphins have been present here for 4000 years!

What do honey possums, mice and dunnarts have in common? They all pollinate Australian #Banksia! New research published in our journal highlights the role of rodents & other non-flying mammals in their pollination...a 🧵(1/4)

Despite island radiations being well studied, the modes of #Speciation are not fully understood. Here the most diverse Canary Island plant, Aeonium, is investigated for allopatric & sympatric speciation!

We're excited to announce the #Launch of our new blog, featuring articles across our journals! Read about why so many Darwin's finches exist & the remarkable #Discovery by Peter & Rosemary Grant of past extinctions!

Using a hybrid approach, plastome & Sanger sequencing data were combined to reconstruct the #Phylogeny of Martinella, a group of #Neotropical lianas!

Genomic analysis of #Endangered Golden Eagle populations revealed reduced genetic diversity, suggesting evidence of inbreeding & highlighting the importance of genetic reinforcement for island population #Conservation!

As it’s #WorldReptileDay we thought we would share with you some reptile-themed papers that have recently published in our journal! Follow the 🧵 below (1/7):

The nectarless male flowers of Pandanus were thought to be wind-pollinated, yet their floral scent suggested otherwise, with detailed analysis revealing the first example of insect #Pollination in this genus!

#Iconic examples of evolution, Darwin's finches have adapted to differences in foraging strategies. Smaller finches have shorter wings for increased manoeuvrability, while longer legs enable climbing behaviour in larger finches!

Famous for its rich #Biodiversity, many radiations in Lake Tanganyika are still unclear. To address this, 2 #Catfish clades were investigated, finding evidence of niche conservatism in Synodontis!

Young & closely related species often look very similar, making it hard to ID them. Here, genetic variability & #Ecological features of endemic Petunia species confirm their independent status & highlight the need to uncover hidden diversity!

Just when you thought the deep sea couldn't get any creepier, introducing 2 new species of carnivorous bivalve found in the deep waters of the SW Atlantic! #SpookySeason #MolluscMonday

The diversity of life has been formed through a variety of processes, leading to the species present today. Here, the speciation of Night Lizards was investigated, summarising research approaches & identifying areas of growth

The Mesozoic Marine Revolution shaped the ocean's #Biodiversity, but its origin is poorly known. In this first site-specific study of the Paja Formation, Colombia, food-webs were reconstructed to reveal the highest trophic levels ever imagined!
