500,000 Taxa on iNaturalist! inaturalist.org/blog/103155-50…

"that’s 23% of all known species on Earth... #Birds stand out: nearly all species have been observed on #iNaturalist. 349 species (2%) are yet to be recorded... For #reptiles, #amphibians, & #mammals there are about 10x as many unobserved... Like birds, most unobserved species only remain in tropical regions. This is not the case for #fish, #plants, #invertebrates, & #fungi where there are still many left to observe in all parts of the globe"

500,000 Taxa on iNaturalist! · iNaturalist

We've reached an incredible milestone — 500,000 unique taxa documented on iNaturalist! According to 2022 IUCN estimates, that’s nearly a quarter (23%) of all known species on Earth.

I am very pleased to share with the mastodon community the first part of my PhD work:

High prevalence of Prdm9-independent recombination hotspots in placental #mammals

biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/20…

This work was done in collaboration with @djivanprentout Alexandre Laverré, Théo Tricou and @duret_lbbe. (1/8)

High prevalence of Prdm9-independent recombination hotspots in placental mammals

In many mammals, recombination events are concentrated into hotspots directed by a sequence specific DNA-binding protein named Prdm9.

#EnergyTransition: How bubble curtains protect #porpoises from wind farm noise bbc.com/future/article/2023110…

"As huge offshore #WindFarms spread across Europe's seas, efforts grow to buffer the impact on #wildlife... The #BubbleCurtain was designed around the #porpoise's specific needs and traits, lowering #WindFarm construction noise to a threshold deemed safe for the species, based on scientific research. Its proven muffling effect may also benefit other marine #mammals such as #seals"

How bubble curtains protect porpoises from wind farm noise

As huge offshore wind farms spread across Europe's North and Baltic seas, efforts grow to buffer the impact on wildlife.
