Behalve bilateraal gynandromorfen heb je ook mozaiek gynandromorfen, waarbij vrouwelijke en mannelijke kenmerken als patchwork ineen gestrengeld zijn. Deze keizersmantel uit Z-Frankrijk bv, oranje delen zijn mannelijk, grijze delen vrouwelijk (in dit geval was gedrag overigens eerder mannelijk).

The slow expansion of the Marbled Fritillary (braamparelmoer, Brenthis daphne) in NL has surprised me, in B and D it easily moves 10-20km per year. Even in de SE the density is still relatively low. Apparently the quality of the habitat in NL is not good enough to move further north.

Axolotls are famous for regenerating limbs. Turns out they can also regenerate their thymus—and that may show us how to someday to the same. That story and more of the best from @science.org and science in this edition of #ScienceAdviser: www.science.org/content/arti... 🧪

Trees are among the most extreme and successful forms of life on Earth. How do trees work, and what are they even made of? What makes these ancient giants so resilient, and maybe even immortal?

I don’t understand why we call people that appear weak- “pansies”. Have you seen pansy flowers? They f’n blooming in harsh winter like it’s the serene month of June. Anyone calls you a pansy, wear like a badge of honor.

But, you can use birds as a vehicle to collect/identify “ugly” species. Rudolf Meier shares an example from Singapore, where 1500 lice were collected from 54 roadkill birds, resulting in the discovery of 50 new lice species. #LivingData2025 #EmbraceTheUgly
