    (if I were a farmer reliant on pollination, I'd get the wax out of my ears on this massive effect)

    "Aerial #electroreception…in #arthropods, including #bees, which can use #floralEfields as foraging cues…
    …we demonstrate that weak #anthropogenicEfields…significantly alter #honeybee floral landing behaviors. AC and positive DC fields reduced landings by 71% and 53%, respectively, whereas negative DC fields had no statistically significant impact."

  3. Presenting: THE #CAMBRIANSMACKDOWN! A silly Tumblr style bracket. I will create a series of polls to determine which screwy looking Cambrian era critter is perceived as the coolest on Mastodon!
    Polls will start at 7 days long.
    Depending on how well-received this is, the polls may shorten in length.
    Polls coming soon. Enjoy. This thread will be for bracket updates rather than the polls.

  4. Mighty #Anomalocaris stirs, spreading dust and terror throughout the #Cambrian sea. #Opabinia, #Hallucigenia, #Pikaia, #Canadia, #Burgessia, #Marella, and #Elrathia can only hope the rocks and ridges they cover behind will hide them.

    Inspired by a display at the Naturkunde Museum Stuttgart that perfectly showed off the difference in size between Cambrian critters. At 40 cm, Anomalocaris was a leviathan.

  5. New on the Dinosaur Toy Blog, a bit of a mixed review of the 2023 CollectA Anomalocaris: dinotoyblog.com/anomalocaris-c

    "...this 2023 model is essentially a decade old in its depiction. Before we look at what it got wrong, let’s look at what it got right."
