#naturalhistory #animalart #turtles

Hand colored lithograph of a brown, black, and yellow pond slider turtle.

In the introduction John Edward Gray wrote that the illustrations were from the pencil of James Sowerby, lithographed by Edward Lear, and coloured “so as to form the most perfect facsimiles of the drawings” by Mr. Bayfield.

From now until 11:59pm PST on September 20, if you order my book from TheEverydayNaturalist.com I'll throw in a little gift as well! #wildlife #NaturalHistory 💙📚 🌿

A book called The Everyday Naturalist: How to Identify Animals, Plants, and Fungi Wherever You Go sits on a piece of paper that has a few pen and marker drawings on it. It is by Rebecca Lexa, and the book cover is black with brightly colored animals, plants, and fungi around the border. The drawings on the paper include a red and white spotted mushroom, a catfish, and a triceratops.

Forgive my absence; I've been taking personal tours of the two sites of @smnstuttgart.bsky.social. One of the perks of a #museum residency...

Mainly fixated on #insects, both contemporary and ancient, but made some time for the vertebrates too.

Mullin et al. use WGS from 101 museum specimens of British/Irish moss carder bumblebees from 1894-2019 to reveal a dramatic drop in genetic diversity: ∼24.6% decrease in heterozygosity and a 2.86-fold increase in ROH

When Wesley Coe, who owned the quarry, passed away, he left the land to the Peabody Museum, which in 1976 transferred the ownership to the town of Middlefield and renamed the Powder Hill Dinosaur Park. #NaturalHistory #Dinosaurs #Geology
