Well that’s less than ideal 🤣

How firmly are the nuts attached to the fruits? Seems like a convenient handle if you ask me; a bit like an ice cream cone.
Can humans eat the fruit?

‘Oh, funny, why do you have a D800 and not a D850? Isn’t the D850 or Z8 way better?’
‘I mean yes but I was on the waiting list to be one of the first people in Scotland to own a D800, and I basically had to sell a kidney to buy it. And I haven’t been able to afford upgrading since then.’

Great representation and information shared, from the history of chytrid in Denmark, to acute actions and setup that’s been done recently, to the picture in Sweden where it’s well studied, to the use of eDNA to detect it in Costa Rica, concluding with the legal foundation in Denmark.

I hope to represent our collections at @nhmdk.bsky.social as a possible resource for understanding chytrid in Denmark. Natural history collections have been extremely valuable in understanding the spread and history of the fungus globally.

Comforting sentiment that is ultimately misplaced because I don’t know what’s actually going on

No??? I think I must have heard people say it on CarTalk or something? Maybe a tv show?

Gosh I wish it weren’t twice as expensive in Denmark as it is in the UK. Will have to pick it up next time I’m over there

this tree is *gorgeous* 🦀
I tried to get a similar image for the cover some years ago with some cichlid fish; I am getting the impression they just don't like radial trees on the cover (or get them too often).

yeah, for me it just raises big eyebrows about the year of publication, when things are appearing online in 2023 but only appearing in a print form in 2024, where do I put it in my publication list, and how do I cite it? A nightmare for taxonomy, but also just for librarians!

My understanding is that Systematic Biology is having HUGE problems with their publishers. It takes over half a year for papers to go from online-only to appear in print. It is a huge mess. Really undermining the journal. I’m hopeful they will fix it in the coming years.
