An interesting #sciencewriting text involving #sciencephilosophy and #quantumphysics by O. Lombardi (2026) explores the #worldview that can emerge from the consistent application of quantum physics. The philosophically stimulating idea is that everyday #perceptions of the #world, as well as perceptions of the world as understood and treated by other scientific disciplines, appear much more #unified from this particular #perspective. The division of the world into a single, large whole composed of individual components is then absent. Instead, from a quantum physics perspective, it is essentially conceived as a coherent, #undividedwhole. This text by Stefan F. Wirth, Berlin, May 2026 Reference: O.

#Cephalopods are related to #snails and #mussels. Yet they are more similar to #vertebrates than one would expect. The interesting and insightful #sciencewriting article by Liam Drew (2026), which does justice to the #complexity of #cephalopod morphology, focuses on the #brain #anatomy and #neuronfunction of representatives such as the octopus and the cuttlefish. The unique feature of the cephalopod brain lies in its #size relative to body proportions and its complexity. But the brain of an octopus is impressive not only morphologically, but also functionally. These animals—I emphasize again, relatives of our garden snails—are highly #intelligent, capable of solving complex problems, and are both capable of #learning and generally curious. They can even use simple tools. What seems somehow familiar to us is, in reality, the result of #independent (#convergent) #evolution. Therefore, cephalopods like the octopus are very suitable and interesting subjects of #research. Different research disciplines with varying focuses are approaching the #neuralcapabilities of these animals, a topic the aforementioned author discusses in detail and with much clarity. Key questions arise concerning the selective evolutionary pressures that enabled the emergence of such powerful brains during evolution. However the function and communication of the neurons themselves are also subjects of other research projects. Since this is an independent evolutionary process in relation to vertebrates, the question naturally arises whether an intelligent animal group with large brains functions according to the same neural, #physiological, and morphological principles. Or, put another way: how profound are the seemingly striking similarities really, again considering that we deal with convergent evolution?

This #sciencewriting and science communication #article discusses #parasitic #flies that attach themselves to #bats and transform into a #sacklike structure that lives embedded in the #host's skin. A new species description from the #bat #Rhinolophus #stheno will also be presented. Rhinolophus stheno belongs to a taxon in which the species are distinguished by a strikingly #modified #nose (#Rhinolophidae). The leaf-like structures surrounding the #nostrils serve as a means of #vocalcommunication between the animals. R. stheno is found in tropical and subtropical #Asia, specifically in #China, Sumatra, Laos, Vietnam, Thailand, Myanmar, and Java. Its head and body length ranges from 44 to 56 mm. Its #calls are in the 85 to 96.5 kHz range. The female gives birth to a single young in summer, which is carried by its mother for about two months. They are nocturnal and hunt spiders and insects. Their #habitat consists of #forests with mature trees near #limestonecliffs. There, they stay under rock overhangs. Like almost all multicellular organisms, bats are associated with various other organisms. Not always voluntarily. #Parasites can be bacteria or viruses, mites, but also #insects. Host and parasite often share a long #evolutionaryhistory, in which the host develops countermeasures against its parasite through natural selection, while the parasite responds with its own new #evolutionary #adaptations. Flies of the genus Rhinolophus (phylogenetical position unclear, seemingly related to the Nycteriboscinae), which belong to the do called #batflies. Rhinolophus species are distributed throughout the eastern tropical and subtropical hemisphere, and approximately 17 species are known. The biological peculiarity lies in the fact that adult #females undergo a process called #neosomy. This refers to morphological changes that occur during an active arthropod stage that would normally no longer be capable of growth, since growth in arthropods is usually associated with molting. Their neosomy involves the females changing their form during their adult lifetime. They lose limbs and wings and, using their mouthparts, burrow into the skin of their bat hosts, transforming into a predominantly sac-like structure through abdominal enlargement. They feed on the blood of their hosts. The sac-like abdomen, with its anus and respiratory openings, protrudes from the skin. The female also releases her larvae in this state. Authors H. Sun et al. (2026) described a new Rhinolophus species on the bat Rhinolophus stheno from Yunnan Province, China. This new species, Ascodipteron #euryale, parasitizes bats in the area of the base of the #ears. The authors characterized the new species morphologically and by #DNA analysis. A. euryale is the only known species of its genus on R. stheno. Within the parasitic genus Ascodipteron, five other species are known to parasitize bat ears. Some of their neosomes are surrounded by a cyst-like, tough skin material of the host, which it develops as a reaction to the parasitism. However, this is according to the authors not the case with A. euryale; the surrounding skin of the host is rather soft, so the parasites could be easily removed. © #StefanFWirth, April 2026, Berlin Please, I urgently depend as Freelancer from support, as I do much of my work for free, I much appreciate each small coffee donation: https://t.co/4nN4eRHB6I Reference: H.

I created them with #AI assistance, based on my hand drawn sketches, illustrations were then manually edited and modified via Lightroom. They intend to show Rhinolophus stheno in the area of a limestone rock face surrounded by a forest in a not closer determined subtropical Asian region. The neosome of a parasitic fly of genus Ascodipteron is the last illustration. Iit is simplified , but inspired by different photos of different species, which I saw.
