💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🐭❄️ Researchers studying long-clawed #shrew skulls from #Hokkaido found that while the #skull shrinks in #winter, the snout grows larger and wider, the reverse of a known seasonal shrinking pattern.

The expanded nasal cavity may warm freezing #air before it reaches the #brain, keep scent detection sharp, or both. The changes appear reversible and may occur in other shrew species.

Shrews may grow bigger snouts in winter to cope with cold air, scientists say

Study of long-clawed shrew skulls from Japan shows that, while skulls get smaller in winter, snouts elongate

💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🦑🌊 About 15 years ago, Japanese researchers on a #research vessel photographed a shoal of roughly 100 neon flying #squid gliding in formation above the #Pacific #Ocean, about 600 km from #Tokyo.

The species uses a funnel-like organ called the hyponome to jet #water, propelling itself through both #air and #sea. Scientists remain unsure why the squid fly in unison, suggesting they may be evading a #predator like a #shark.

‘Like an alien invasion’: the neon flying squid that can fly in formation above the ocean

Smart, sociable squid use funnel-like organ to force water to jet propel themselves along in and out of sea

💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🦭🦻 A #research team used #3D CT scans to solve how #seals hear in both #air and #water.

They found that cavernous tissue in seal #ears fills with blood during dives to conduct #underwater #sound with less than 1% signal loss. The #adaptation traces to early #marine seals 26 million years ago, though it initially came with a #hearing trade off.

Seals have a unique superpower in their ears, and we finally know how it evolved

Unlike all other mammals, seals can hear both in the air and underwater. How do they do this?

Once vibrant with flashes of red, blue and gold, their wings are now turning brown and grey. New research shows that colourful #species struggle to survive in eucalyptus plantations where the #light is harsh, the #air is dry and the forest floor is stripped bare. The result is an eerie quietness.
