Conservation activists suing Indonesian zoo inspires more legal action Palm Oil Detectives

A lawsuit against a Sumatran zoo for illegally exhibiting threatened species like orangutans could inspire global action against the illegal wildlife trade

💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🎸🐍 Scientists named a newly described #NewGuinea groundsnake, "Lielaphis slashi", after Guns N’ Roses guitarist Slash, for his love of #reptiles.

Herpetologist Chris Austin first spotted the 71 cm (28 in) snake during nighttime fieldwork in 2006. Genetic and ecological analysis confirmed it as a distinct #species, supporting #conservation in New Guinea’s threatened #forests.

💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🕷️💨 The jungle #huntsman #spider from #Queensland reached 3.59 meters per second, doubling the previous #arachnid speed record.

Researchers at #Imperial College #London measured 162 #species across four #continents to study spider #locomotion. They found that longer legs relative to body size predict greater speed.

The world's fastest spider tops 3.5 metres per second

The most comprehensive database ever compiled of how fast arachnids can run has shown how leg anatomy and evolutionary history influence spiders’ running speed

Americans and Canadians will recognize the #bird on the left as a #blueJay

Mexicans will recognize the bird on the right as a #greenJay

What's the bird in the middle?

That's the #globalWarming Jay

(What I'm calling it)

Due to #climateChange green jays are increasingly moving north and overlapping with blue jays

This is the first observed hybrid in the wild (#Texas) between these two #species separated by 7 million years of evolution

I discovered three new geckos in Cambodia – and that’s not all

The vast majority of karsts are not protected, and the demand for cement is huge. This is not specific to Cambodia – it’s a global problem and the threat is imminent.

Very interesting article about how #species are discovered , classified and documented.

I discovered three new geckos in Cambodia’s limestone caves – and that’s not all we found

The whole ecosystem inside a cave feeds off guano, dead bats, or any dead animals on the ground. It’s not for the faint-hearted

Finally, it has arrived: a full upper pitcher on this seed-grown Nepenthes platychila! I imagine further uppers will continue to get better, but the main traits are here. Broad funnel shape, almost no wings, wide flat very stripey peristome that will darken considerably (see last pic of the prior pitcher).
The transition from lower to uppers in this species is quite dramatic, as lowers have very prominent spikes wings and are very thin, nearly cylindric. The peristome is stripey, smooth, and somewhat flattened out, but it is nowhere near as broad and flamboyant. The commonality of hybrids with close relatives (likely zakriana or dactylifera) even in the wild means pure examples that display this unfolded, very broad lip are harder to come by, but luckily looks like there’s at least one more (and as it also has a basal shoot already, fingers crossed it blooms soon and propagation may begin).

The world is becoming less colourful. Across #Brazil and much of the #tropics, #butterflies are fading as #forests give way to industrial #plantations. 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.

Living organisms are assumed to produce same-#species #offspring.

But this is not the case for Messor ibericus, an #ant that lays individuals from two distinct #species.

In this life cycle, females must clone males of another species because they require their sperm to produce the worker caste.

As a result, males from the same mother exhibit distinct genomes and morphologies, as they belong to species that diverged over 5 million years ago.

The evolutionary history of this system appears as sexual parasitism that evolved into a natural case of cross-species cloning, resulting in the maintenance of a male-only lineage cloned through distinct species’ ova.

One mother for two species via obligate cross-species cloning in ants - Nature

In a case of obligate cross-species cloning, female ants of Messor ibericus need to clone males of Messor structor to obtain sperm for producing the worker caste, resulting in males from the same mother having distinct genomes and morphologies.
