Comme il y a beaucoup de nouveaux arrivants, c'est le moment d'une nouvelle présentation ! Je suis chercheuse en biologie évolutive du développement et dans mon équipe, nous essayons de comprendre comment et par quels mécanismes les espèces (et surtout les chiroptères !! 🦇) se diversifient 👇🧵

Bats just get cooler every day and another great example of the diversity of their diet (even in species that used to be considered insectivores!)

Despite billions of passerines seasonally migrating during the night at high altitudes, only three bat species have been found to consistently tap into this rich prey resource. However, it remains unk...

Oui en ZRR je peux comprendre le problème à la limite mais pour les autres ? Toutes les facs du monde font ça sans problème (et ça marche). On a un Zimbra un peu modif complètement has been :( rien d'intégré pour le reste

Je voulais dire, si on avait la suite google ou Microsoft à la place de serveurs mail "custom" à la con qui fonctionnent mal ou ont l'air de sortir de la fin des années 90 ;) mais oui ! Et les vraies solutions pro permettent de mieux ranger d'ailleurs.
