Viruses that roam the fungal kingdom knowablemagazine.org/content/a…

"today, scientists researching fungal #viruses are enjoying a golden age of discovery... finding all sorts of weird and wonderful interactions between #fungi and their viruses and even between fungal viruses and #plants or #animals. Most fungal viruses don’t seem to do much of anything to their hosts, but others cause sickness or offer surprising benefits."

Photo of multiple young round and white fungal fruiting bodiues growing on a black substrate. One of the mushrooms is larger, slighly darker, and has a different texture than the others.

I'm an evolutionary ecologist with a PhD who studies birds & who writes about all sorts of #science topics (links to these pieces will pop up here).

I think it's my duty to write about politics, such as #HumanRights #progressivism and #ecocide, as well as philosophical topics, such as #AnimalRights & #veganism.

I 'm an avid reader who writes #BookReviews. I'm #multilingual.

I live with a flock of #parrots.

Over at @sciencemagazine I reviewed @9brandon's marvelous MEET THE NEIGHBORS, about animal lives, animal minds, and ethics of animal-human relating. It's a brilliant book and I hope you'll check it out. #books #bookreview #bookstodon #animals #animalwelfare #animalrights #anthropology #biology science.org/doi/10.1126/scienc…
The review is titled Valuing Animal Lives and a photo of a coyote is shown.

Thrilled that this short animation based around my work on animal grief is now live. The animation division of TED, at TED-Ed, invited me to collaborate with their team in bringing out some of the animal-grief science and my ideas on why knowing this information matters for treatment of animals. I worked with a brilliant animator, Denis Chapon! Have a look: youtube.com/watch?v=9sNpMb4M7X… #animals #anthropology #grief #animalwelfare #animalrights #animation #TED

Every year, students around the world submit videos to a "Dance Your PhD" contest. The goal is to "explain your research through interpretive dance."

This year's fabulous winner, Weliton Menário Costa, explores kangaroo behavior & promotes diversity. It is, by far, the best I've ever seen.

Well, here it is! My marsupial "mouse".
Antechinus are not actually related to mice. They are just a very small relative of the kangaroo and koala.
Despite their cute appearance, they are darn feisty! A little antechinus can take down a chicken around five times its size, and eat it! The males also tend to die during a crazed mating season due to an overload of androgen.
These furry beasts are something else!
In the last hour we've had a dark storm roll in. So, the lighting isn't great for photographing the colour, but it's fine.

The alpine marmot (Marmota marmota) is a large ground-dwelling squirrel, from the genus of marmots. It is found in high numbers in mountainous areas of central and southern Europe, at heights between 800 and 3,200 m (2,600–10,500 ft) in the Alps, Carpathians, Tatras and Northern Apennines. In 1948 they were reintroduced with success in the Pyrenees, where the alpine marmot had disappeared at end of the Pleistocene epoch. (Text Source: Wikipedia)

Single-celled protists in the guts of animals thrive without mitochondria, study finds

Almost all eukaryotic organisms, from plants and animals to fungi, can't survive without mitochondria, which generate chemical energy using oxygen.

Human actions have led to the deaths of more than 100,000 Bornean orangutans since 1999, mainly for crop protection, bushmeat or the illegal wildlife trade.

For the first time in 15 years, researchers surveyed residents of Kalimantan, the Indonesian section of Borneo, to find out why people kill the great apes and whether conservation projects help protect them.

Killings of Bornean orangutans could lead to their extinction

Only about 100,000 Bornean orangutans (Pongo pygmaeus) remain, less than half of their original numbers.

A post I made on FB about my favorite animals led to a whole lot of people realizing that pink fairy armadillos are an actual thing, and it is delightful to watch 😆

I guess I'm now spreading the gospel of the pink fairy armadillo. They are real, y'all.

#armadillos #animals #nature #cute

Pink fairy armadillo. A small, tube-shaped creature with soft beige fur on the underside, and pink sectioned armor on its back. Small black beady eyes, tiny pink nose, large pink digging feet. The butt is flat, and serves as a plug when the armadillo burrows into a hole.
