🦑 Meet Planctoteuthis sp.! 🦑

According to #SamplingGap Co-chief sci Dr. Perez:
“Images have finally enabled the description of this tail, but no one knows what it is used for. It looks like a siphonophore from a distance, and one hypothesis is that it could be used for siphonophore mimicry.”

How long does a butterfly live? 🦋

A few weeks for most, but pollen-eating Heliconius can live up to a year – and have much bigger brains.

@ebablab.bsky.social from @camzoology.bsky.social is exploring how brains and behaviour can drive the evolution of new species 👉 bit.ly/4jFJJzG

Evolution and adaptation are frequently used interchangeably when describing trait change. Does it really matter?

Our new paper in PLOS Biology shows that yes, it really does. journals.plos.org/plosbiology/...
