  4. 🔒 Oh, the irony! An article on "Quantum Cryptography" that's as #cryptic as the topic itself. Apparently, understanding #QKD requires more clearance than a James Bond mission. 🚀🔑

  8. RE: mastodon.green/@plazi_species/

    How can allopatric #speciation lead to the #radiation of #newspecies, and how can #research succeed in reconstructing such mechanisms? #Cryptic #complexes such as the #Hemiphyllodactylus #harterti-complex (#Gekkonidae) can be revealing.

    Z. Hong et al. (2026) #phylogenetically identified two new species by using the #mitochondrialgene #ND2. The #ancestral #population of the complex is thought to have diverged in the Middle #Oligocene and radiated from there throughout #Malaysia.

  9. Ah, the elusive art of myco-materials! 🔒🍄 Apparently, this article is so #avant-garde that even the internet gods have deemed us unworthy of its fungal wisdom. Instead, we're left with an existential HTTP error and a poetic string of numbers that could double as a #cryptic safe combination. 🚫🔢

  10. Day 12 of Advent of Type brings Agon. It is a deliberately cryptic font (A to Z and /period only). The name derives from both a-gon, a polygon, and agon as in agony and agonist. There is a little puzzle in this image, it makes a message when decoded. At least, it is a puzzle as long as you don't open the font file which of course makes the A to Z mapping clear.

  11. Shown is a #fly of the #genus #Sarcophaga, not being determined on a #specieslevel. It belongs to the #cryptic S. carnaria-#speciesgroup S. #carnaria itself is distributed throughout the #Palearctic region and is a #parasitoid of earthworms. H. E. Moore et al. (2021) used #cuticularhydrocarbon (CHC) profiles to differentiate 11 Sarcophaga species (including S. carnaria) from each other
