  6. 💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🎸🐍 Scientists named a newly described #NewGuinea groundsnake, "Lielaphis slashi", after Guns N’ Roses guitarist Slash, for his love of #reptiles.

    Herpetologist Chris Austin first spotted the 71 cm (28 in) snake during nighttime fieldwork in 2006. Genetic and ecological analysis confirmed it as a distinct #species, supporting #conservation in New Guinea’s threatened #forests.

  7. Spotted #hyenas and other native scavengers in Mekelle, Ethiopia, function as essential components of the urban #ecosystem by consuming thousands of tons of discarded organic meat waste. This natural scavenging acts as a vital ecosystem service, positioning these predators as accidental "eco-warriors" within high-density human settlements.

  9. This week, our lab contributed three talks to the #dzg2025 , hosted by the German Zoological Society, in Berlin. Dominik Perisa, a PhD student in our group, presented a talk titled "A new gastrpod genome annotation allows novel insights into its antipredator plasticity. Nhamo Mutingwende, another PhD student in our group, talked about his work titled "Body condition and alarm cues: Effects on anti-predator responses in a freshwater gastropod", and our PI @DenisMeuthen contributed a talk titled "From phenotypic plasticity to evolutionary divergence: first results from an experimental evolution study". Each of our contributions generated a lot of interest and stimulated exciting follow-up discussions. #dzg #Zoology #EvolutionaryBiology #evolution #ecology @academicchatter

  10. This is Lineus longissimus, a nemertean known as the bootlace worm. It's one of the longest animals in the world. A specimen caught in Scotland after a storm is thought to have been almost 60 meters long. Although this might be an exceptional case, there's evidence that these worms can reach about 30 meters (the length of a blue whale).
