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"

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.bioRxiv
#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"
