📢🦋 Our paper ‘Global selection on insect antipredator coloration’ is out and featured on the cover of @science.org

We ran a huge experiment to find out how ecological context favours camouflage and warning colouration as antipredator strategies. 1/6

These bones could have been obtained from naturally beached animals, so they are not evidence of whaling. Fin, blue, and sperm whales: almost certainly NOT hunted (given available technology). Gray and right whales (= coastal species): hunting is not impossible.

Humans have been interacting with whales for a long time. This paper describes tools made from whale bones up to 20,000 years ago in the Bay of Biscay - including from gray and right whales, two species since extirpated from European shores.

New paper led by @cetaceanyouri.bsky.social sheds new light into the gray whale's mysterious early demise from European shores: likely the result of medieval whaling all along its migratory route, gone by the mid-14th Century. Death by a thousand cuts. 🧪🌎

Migratory birds aren’t equally efficient at all speeds. A new Lund University study shows thrush nightingales fly most efficiently at 7–8 m/s – the speed they actually use on migration.

A military megaproject led to Mexico’s biggest paleontological discovery—and is now reshaping what we know about mammoths.

Map showing locations where high-quality mtDNA samples have been recovered from mammoths. The dot size corresponds to the approximate number of samples recovered. Columbian mammoths recently discovered in Mexico are the first from a tropical area to yield mtDNA; the Basin of Mexico location is the largest dot on the map and the furthest south. Columbian mammoths in North America descend from a 1-million-year-old steppe mammoth discovered in Krestovka, Russia, with additional ancestry from woolly mammoths.
