Archeopteryx goes boing boing flap flap
Pauline Provini@paulineprovini.bsky.social · last wk.Archaeopteryx BOUNCED into the air! Our new paper in @devbiol.bsky.social shows the first bird used multiple leaps (like modern crows) to take off, using today’s birds to unlock how flight evolved 150M years ago! 🔗Read more here: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... #DinosaurBird #HowFlightBegan

The results of a study by Erik A. Meilakab et al. show that the earliest bird, Archaeopteryx (a 150-million-year-old reptilian bird), could have reached its minimum sustained flight speed in just two to three jumps, without the energetically demanding single jump of modern birds. 1/2

Face aux canicules à répétition en France, le sentiment qui domine est celui d'une impréparation totale du pays. Outre ses conséquences sur les hommes, le réchauffement climatique est aussi dévastateur pour la faune, la flore, et tout ce qui compose nos écosystèmes, jusqu'aux bactéries. Le biologiste Marc-André Selosse, spécialiste des sols, Professeur au Muséum d'histoire naturelle, auteur de l'essai "De la biodiversité comme un humanisme" (éds. du Seuil), était l'invité d'Au Cœur de l'Info.

Out today in @royalsocietypublishing.org - we show that crab spiders (the ones you usually see ambushing pollinators on flowers 🕷️🌸) get worse at hunting if their eyes are covered!🫣 Sounds obvious? It's actually quite surprising, here's why... 👀 (1/8) royalsocietypublishing.org/rsos/article...
