🦁 NEW: Researchers tracking #lions and spotted #hyenas in southern #Africa found that the hyenas consistently maintain distance from lions over kilometers of territory rather than merely scavenging near kills. #GPS #data captured male lions moving toward hyenas, reframing the dynamics of the famous #wildlife rivalry.

💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🐌🫧 The grove snail secretes five distinct kinds of #mucus from a shared #protein base.

German researchers found that #collagen IV and @calcium work together, cross-linking into networks of varying density to give each #slime different mechanical properties. Lab work, from cryo-scanning electron #microscopy to #proteomics, unpacks the #chemistry behind each output.

Medaka fish kept in semi-natural outdoor environments experience reproductive clocks that are significantly out of sync with those kept in laboratory conditions, ovulating approximately 3.5 hours earlier.

I had an enlightening time being shown behind the scenes at London's Natural History Museum today. Huge thanks to the brilliant Josh Luke Davis, science writer at NHM, and to Alessandro Giusti, senior curator of Lepidoptera, for showing me the Museum's collection of gynandromorph butterflies. Wow! 🦋💜🦋

I made sure to say hi to Chas . . .

Wonderful to be back in #Oxford today! As ever, lots of great finds in the Bod including this lovely colour plate of a #gynandromorph Gouldian finch described by biologists F. A. E. Crew and S. S. Munro in the Proceedings of the Royal Society of Edinburgh in June 1938.
