For @highcountrynews.org's latest issue on Deep Time, I reviewed 3 books that help us explore Earth's past in different ways: Basin and Range by John McPhee, Strata by @laurapoppick.bsky.social, and When the Earth was Green by @restingdinoface.bsky.social 🧪⚒️ www.hcn.org/issues/58-1/...

Three books explore deep time and help us look forward - High Country News

Each of these books can, in its own way, teach readers how to think about Earth's history, and how to apply lessons from the past to our future.

This is the future of scientific papers. Instead of a PDF, the paper is an AI agent that you can talk to, ask questions, run analyses. No more digging through supplements - just ask the paper directly: "what p-value cutoff was used in Fig 3B? Re-run at 0.01." www.nature.com/articles/s41...

JWB: I am SO OLD... Audience, interrupting: HOW OLD ARE YOU? JWB: I am SO OLD I remember when people used to write AND read their own papers :/

The Mughal artist Ustād Manṣūr, produced in the 1620s what is probably the most lively painting of a dodo. In fact, It is possible that he used live individuals as models, since two dodos where transported to the Mughal court in the early 17tn c

The log of the Dutch ship 'Gelderland' (1601-1603) had absolutely increadible sketches of the soon extinct bird fauna of Mauritius, included its flightless parrot, ibis and dodo Atributted to Joris Joostensz Laerle Check more drawings here commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Categor...

Night eyes 😎 Finally got proper pictures of this amazing phenomenon! Mantises change their eye color (and light sensitivity) at night by transporting pigments from the surface of each compound eye unit toward the deeper eye region. Same female Tenodera sinensis, two different times. #bugsky

The pseudopupil is clearly visible on her left eye, facing the camera.

The Long-wattled Umbrellabird (Cephalopterus penduliger) are the weirdest birds, from pompadour/mohawk to long fleshy neck-tie shaped wattle that converts to a feather duster on command. Native to the Pacific coasts of Ecuador & Colombia, these extraordinary accessories are mostly found in males.

See our new paper examining how monkeyflowers handle salt spray landing on their leaves! Salt spray lands on plant leaves in coastal habitats around the world, yet we know little about how plants survive this stress.

Foliar salt spray exclusion & tissue tolerance underlie local adaptation to oceanic salt spray New #AJB research by @madisonplunkert.bsky.social, @pcdurant.bsky.social, @davidlowry.bsky.social & Katherine Egeler doi.org/10.1002/ajb2... #botany #plantscience #monkeyflower #Mimulus

The coastal perennial ecotype of Mimulus guttatus DC. (syn. Erythranthe guttata DC.) growing on a cliff at Montara State Beach, Montara, California, USA, with oceanic salt spray damage on the leaf margin. Coastal M. guttatus has delayed flowering, which contributes to a salt spray escape strategy by reducing the amount of salt spray reaching these plants. Still, some salt spray contacts the plant, so later-acting strategies that keep sodium from entering the leaves and prevent cell damage are also key for local adaptation to coastal habitat.
