Saddleback tamarin (Leontocebus fuscicollis), also called Andean saddle-back tamarins, are not equipped to extract tree gums. They lay in wait for pygmy marmosets to gouge holes in trees and bully the smaller monkeys away from their quarry. Widespread and common, no major threats imperil them.

For US international students and their colleagues: Choose an English-speaking, US citizen friend to be your one call and memorize their number. Then memorize the number of an immigration lawyer. Remember that ICE and USCIS officers have ultimate discretion over how any encounter might go.

This is a gorgeous cover and an even cooler paper - a full phylogenetic tree using BUSCO genes, featuring new genomes for some weirdos including chitons, the watering-pot shell, a tusk shell, a symbiotically chemosynthetic mud clam, the Chilean abalone (not an abalone), and two monoplacophorans! 🧪

I think one of the saddest and maddening aspects of the past several weeks is that so many Americans have no conception of the damage that has been done. They will be poorer, sicker, and less secure.

It is remarkably exciting to see these linear marks associated with human footprints from White Sands, with some as old as 22,000 years. The researchers interpret these as travois marks. Bottom line: People have probably missed these at many other sites. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Undergraduate research opportunities are incredibly valuable, both for the students and for the progress of the work. And having undergraduate research experience is a massive help for grad school admission. REU cancellations harm students’ preparedness & career prospects, and slow research progress
