Distribution map of Leopard (Panthera pardus) from GBIF. Does this say more about GBIF or about leopards?

Our night science delivered the unexpected story of an animal, which appeared as a total enigma. It was spotted by Ryo Minemizu @ryo_minemizu in Okinawa and subsequently puzzled hundreds of biologists. Now we have the full answer for @RebeccaRHelm : https://t.co/xNn7tjh8QR

Just published the final piece of my PhD thesis as a preprint! Our German-wide Malaise trap metabarcoding study estimated 33,000 insect species in Germany from 1,815 samples. Check out our findings here 1/3: https://t.co/vlajBtjd6h

Email I sent in response to @NatureComms´s request for me to act as a reviewer today (part 1 of 2).

#OpenAccess isn´t open if those of us in developing countries are economically excluded from publishing equitably.

Need an up-to-date #TreeofLife for teaching/conferences/wall paper? Talented PhD student @BasileBeaud drew a schematic consensus ToL from the most recently published phylogenies. Hope this is useful! Downloadable version in the thread👇

@laramaleen @Artsdatabanken @LuisFMartell @AinoHosia @JoanJSoto @BergenUib Congratulations! That's amazing!! 🥳🥳

Get the fuck out of here! Carnivorous mushrooms killing nematodes with toxic lollipops. Coolest predatory strategy, apart from venom of course https://t.co/uKFLxMtSlb

Wisdom, the world’s oldest known wild bird, recently returned to Midway Atoll!

The beloved Laysan albatross, or mōlī, is at least 71 years old. Biologists first identified and banded Wisdom in 1956 after she laid an egg, and the large seabirds aren’t known to breed before age 5.

My dream #cetacean has just surfaced in front of us in the #DrakePassage - the mythical Type D #Orca at 60o South! This pod of ~25 individuals came in to check the ship out, erupting out of the swell & then vanishing. Only described in 1955 & still an enigma! I am ECSTATIC!
