Triste nouvelle pour la #biodiversité 🔴 Introuvable depuis près de 30 ans, le courlis à bec grêle est désormais considéré comme éteint. Il s’agirait de la toute première extinction d'#oiseau d’Europe continentale connue à ce jour 👉 www.mnhn.fr/fr/actualite...

A field study found that naked mole-rats invade rival colonies to expand their territories and kidnap rivals' offspring, similar to slave-making ants. Eusociality could be an adaptation to mitigate and deter territory and offspring losses. 🧪 zslpublications.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1...

Moving from "Twatter" over to here now, it will take time to build up followers again. I haven't posted for ages there as it just got so awful! In an attempt to kickstart things again, here is not a newly emerged alien, but a recently new born naked mole-rat (with another in the background)!😃

Thrilled to share this paper to which I contributed as a 2nd author! 🎉 We found that providing a diggable substrate positively affects the behavior of naked mole-rats (Heterocephalus glaber) in captivity 🐀 Read in Scientific Reports: www.nature.com/articles/s41... 📄 #AnimalBehavior #AnimalWelfare
