Is this the correct way to display dinosaurs at an indoor playground? I don't know who arranged them like this but... Is that an alternative way to dance a Sardana? Obviously a challenge with their short arms.. no judging here ;)

Most #protonMail services are down. Another DDoS attack... Proton have been hit by DDoS attacks since June 27th, although as a user I didn't notice any major disruption until today. Hopefully #Radware and #protonTeam can solve it soon.
How do exotic disease vectors arrive in new territories? Just like this. Took this picture in my local supermarket. Aedes mosquitoes, fruit flies, agricultural pests all exploit the same trade routes.
best conversation I heard this week: - waw! These croissants are so good! We should go to a country that is famous for their croissants... Which can it be? - IDK... Canada probably. Yeah... Mmmh... Why not... 🙄
Should the term 'personality trait' be really used in animal personality studies? With Sasha Dall and @dingemanselab.bsky.social we don't think so. We explain why in this commentary published in Animal Behaviour. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Molt decepcionat amb @grufian.bsky.social (si no està tret fora de context). El burka és un tema complicadíssim q s'utilitza per justificar el racisme, com si la nostra cultura fos la 'bona'. Tolerància i respecte no són d'esquerres? En tot cas ha votat contra la prohibició.. ja és molt.

Low-dispersal insects show a decline in species richness over an 11-year period, largely associated with climate change. It's cool to see field studies matching our predictive results (arxiv.org/abs/2603.29116) #entomology #climateChange #ecology
