“A new study led by Flinders University has flipped the historical narrative about #Australia's #thylacine, finding the native apex predator known as the ‘ #TasmanianTiger ’ was significantly different from the wolves and wild dogs it was likened to before being hunted to #extinction.”

💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🪱🦴 Superworm larvae strip flesh from #animal #skeletons faster than traditional methods, cleaning delicate #bones in hours to days without damage.

Cared for on a vegetable diet, the reusable #larvae could serve #museums that lack the space or funding for dermestid beetle colonies.

This week's #NewBooks at the library: Another three books from our January clearance sale, some of which have been review candidates for some time now.

- Planet Palm: How Palm Oil Ended Up in Everything – and Endangered the World, a shocking and eye-opening reportage written by Jocelyn C. Zuckerman and published by Hurst Publishers.

- Making Faces: The Evolutionary Origins of the Human Face, written by Adam S. Wilkins, published by Belknap Press. Not one I was planning to review, but I find it very hard to pass up a bargain on an interesting book on human evolution and physical anthropology.

- Unfit for Purpose: When Human Evolution Collides with the Modern World, written by Adam Hart, published by Bloomsbury Sigma. One of several books that explores the mismatch between our evolutionary legacy and the modern world we have created for ourselves. I expect them to be amusing reads all!

Cell Adhesion Pattern Shows Conserved #Scalings under #Geometrical Control

Studying the relationship between the size and the #anatomy and #physiology of #living #organisms has proven useful in deciphering what the key physical constraints are that apply to them. For instance, total adhesive pad area is found to #scale like organism mass over a wide variety of animal species, possibly to resist against body weight.

In this study, we apply this approach at the cell scale to ask how large-scale geometrical constraints affect the organisation of #adhesion patches and the size of #cellSubstrate contact at different stages of the #cellSpreading process. Indeed, #cells, like many animals, adhere to their substrate. For that, they use specific protein complexes, called #focalAdhesions, which form patches often situated at the cell periphery.
