🐍🌊 For centuries, scientists couldn't find eel reproductive organs, leading Aristotle to claim they were born from mud. We finally know they migrate thousands of kilometers to the Sargasso Sea, changing their entire body structure just to spawn.

The Evolution of x86 SIMD: From SSE to AVX-512

Last days I've been checking out the latest state of #Thunderbird I'm disappointed that it's slower then #Evolution, is less well integrated in the GNOME desktop and has already crashed a few times by using too much memory. Could be more noticeable on my older computer. I keep remain hopeful for a cross-desktop email client though.

🦌✨ White-tailed #deer mark #trees and the ground with scents, but new #research shows these spots also glow under UV light.

Since deer have eyes tuned to these wavelengths, they are essentially creating "hidden" signposts to communicate with each other during the dim light of dawn and dusk.

Today in Labor History February 16, 1834: Ernst Haeckel was born. He was a zoologist, physician, artist, and one of the earliest proponents of Darwin’s theory of evolution by natural selection. He discovered and named thousands of organisms. He coined the terms: Ecology, phylum, phylogeny and protista. Haeckel made beautiful drawings of thousands of plant, animal and marine organisms, collected in his book, “Kunstformen der Natur” (Art Forms of Nature). His biological drawings influenced the art nouveau movement. His books were banned by the Nazis, yet he was a eugenicist and a supporter of scientific racism and Social Darwinism, views which contributed to the rise of Nazism.

Hallo ihr lieben Tooter, Zeit für einen #vorstellungspost und ein #neuhier 🤓

Nach einem Bio-Studium mit Schwerpunkt #Ökologie und einem Volontariat am #Naturkundemuseum #Stuttgart war ich 2,5 Jahre in #Ulm #Museumspädagoge und bin das seit 2025 im Naturkundemuseum #Bamberg 🦕

Bisher hab ich auf Instagram viel Edutainment gemacht, nun will ich ins Fediverse vorstoßen - mittelfristig mit einem PeerTube-Kanal zu #Natur, #Evolution, #Dinos und #Erdgeschichte mit meiner #Sammlung von #Fossilien ☠️

Evolution of problem-solving throughout the ages! #StoneAge to #ComputerAge

I invite you to check our paper entitled “Rebuilding Ukraine’s capacity for fundamental research in evolutionary biology” https://doi.org/10.1038/s41559-026-03002-8 in Nature Ecology & Evolution about the Ukrainian School in Evolutionary Biology #USEB we organized in 2025. We reflect on how to address problems that war brings to students and scientists.
