Five or six grams of life, soft-furred and sharp-nosed, darting among the roots and leaf litter of a tiny island in the Indian Ocean. Australia’s only shrew, Crocidura trichura, has been declared extinct.

Everything you know about vampire bats is a lie! Okay, well they do drink blood, but who hasn’t? Let’s look at their good qualities.

Era melhor quando não mandava email. Mesmo que abra o link, não aparece o resultado 🤡
Faz duas horas que o CNPq mandou um e-mail avisando que saiu o resultado de um edital de bolsas e todos as pessoas com doutorado desempregadas desse país (incluindo esta que escreve) estão dando f5, o que significa que o site foi pras cucuias

New findings in Science suggest that rodents owe much of their evolutionary success to their thumb-nail (the first digit, D1), an adaptation that gave them dexterous hands for cracking seeds and nuts.

Thrilled to see Missagia et al. on the cover of Science! Who else would have thought to look into rodents’ thumbnails?
Our paper on rodent thumbnails is out! Big team effort, powered by museum collections. Turns out, nails can reveal a lot about rodent evolution. Shoutout to Dr. Gordon Shepherd for the wild idea to study rodents thumbs!
