Hi, here is a random guy who remembers the totalitarian regime in Central Europe... I guess you have to act now, or it is too late.

Beer drinkers were 44% more attractive to mosquitoes than people who had abstained for at least 12 hours, cannabis users were 35% more attractive, and those who had slept with someone else the night before were 46% more attractive, new research finds. https://scim.ag/3Vk5rMw

Does drinking beer make you more attractive to mosquitoes?

Experiments performed at a large music festival suggest the bloodsuckers are more attracted to hedonistic attendees

Rád bych pomohl s přesnou datací toho Masarykova vzkazu. Vzhledem k tomu, že kritizoval Hlinku a varoval před Němcema, tak to muselo být v roce 1996 když se hrál světový pohár. Čerství mistři světa pod vedením Ivana Hlinky tenkrát neuhráli ani bod a s Němcema rupli 7:1.

The buff-tip moth (Phalera bucephala) has mastered a very particular kind of camouflage.

When they close their wings up, they resemble a broken twig.

Native to large parts of Europe, there's regional pattern variation that reflects the local tree species. This one best resembles birch twigs?

Hybridization and introgression are major evolutionary processes. Since the 1940s, the prevailing view has been that they shape plants far more than animals. In our new study (www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
), we find the opposite: animals exchange genes more, and for longer, than plants
