This shark species is always ready for a nap. We’ve even named parties after it. Can you identify it?

@BrightonHoveBus Hi, could I get a confirmation on the time buses will start being diverted/affected? Your website says 16:45 but here is 15:45. Thank you!

While you will often see bees and butterflies visiting flowers during the day, it's moths that take the night shift when it comes to pollination! 🌃🌼

We're only beginning to understand the vital role these insects play. Dr Callum McGregor explains👇

YOU GUYS I just found little disk-winged bats!!
Named like that because they have SUCKERS ON THEIR WRISTS AND FEET to stick to the inside of rolled up leaves. My heart! 😍😭

Our lastest eye-tracker paper: how children perceive facial expressions (FE) in dogs! 🐶👶 It's generally hard for children to ID dog FE, but valence was easier to ID than emotion. We suggest children need training to learn this skill, unlike with people's FE! Link:⬇️

Congratulations Karine Aigner, Wildlife Photographer of the Year! 🏆 In her bee-level close-up, all except one are males and they are intent on mating with the single female at the centre. Like most bees, they are threatened by habitat loss, pesticides, and climate change. #WPY58

@ecology_em I know, I'm so grateful I got to go!!

Think you guys will be interested in seeing some photos of an otter mum and her two cubs I spotted while surveying with Andy Rothwell of IOSF! We watched her fish for two hours! You can see in one photo she's rolling around - cleaning the salty water off! #2022EBE

A fascinating seminar given by Aida Andrés recently about her paper on SIV adaptations in Chimps! The graph below shows the findings that Eastern and Central chimps are under selective pressure from the SIV virus, compared to other populations! Link below ⬇️
