Literally! Thankfully I was able to give them my 2 cents in the survey right before it was removed

I tried carving my own block print for the first time ever and I feel like it turned out decent 😁 #print #blockprint #shrike

There are two swift foxes. One is standing on all fours in front of a grid to show the dimensions of the average swift fox. The other swift fox is sitting on a scale to show the average weight of a swift fox. Text over head reads "Swift Fox Measurements"

Grey lighthouse with a white house on its left with a red roof. In the foreground is some greenery and grass.
A white lighthouse and regular house overlook the Pacific Ocean on Oregon Coast near Lincoln City. Greenery and grass cover the foreground. I found this image on Google.

“Applications are Open for Xerces’ 2026 Student Research Awards”. Up close with an ambush bug as it hides in wait on a purple flower.
Spread the word: we are providing multiple $5k awards for grad & undergrad research on invertebrate conservation !! In addition to our continuing DeWind Award (for Lepidoptera research), we now have the 1st annual BanDrosky Award (for any invert in decline). Details in thread🧵 ⤵️
In the top left corner is the title which reads "Life on a Leaf: Caterpillars and Host Plants." On the left side of the poster is a sketch of an Eastern Cottonwood with an American hornet moth resting on the trunk. Directly above the moth is a close up sketch of its caterpillar stage. To the right of the caterpillar is a sketch of a swamp milkweed. To the right of the milkweed is a sketch of a Texas Live Oak branch.

Here's what we saw in the north!
This year's Pollinator Partnership annual poster contest theme just got released! It's caterpillars and their host plants! Here's the list of lepidoptera species I've chosen to include so far. Feel free to comment suggestions!
Using ourselves as a frame of reference for other organisms is logical. Thinking humans are the exception in studies on organism behavior is illogical when everything else about our bodies shows we are more similar than different to life on earth.
I know that Jane Goodall really first introduced parts of this idea into her research on chimpanzees, but I think it needs to be expanded to include much more than we currently do. Like some people are still extremely skeptical of the study that showed play behavior in bumblebees.
So if we take what we know about human behavior and cognition (which again we are animals) and apply it to other animals exhibiting those same things, wouldn't that give us better insight into their world than assuming their experience is nothing like our own?
So humans are animals. It is very accepted that hands and paws are the same structure just slightly different in development. Why don't we treat behavior and cognition in the same way? As a feature of an organism that can be modified and passed down from generation to generation.
Today's science hot take:
I'm starting to think that the rule in animal behavior studies that we shouldn't anthropomorphize the organisms we're studying is the exact opposite of what we should be doing and is actually hindering scientific breakthroughs in animal behavior.

A vibrant illustrated poster featuring 14 species/varieties of isopods of various colors. They are illustrated on a yellow-vibrant orange background and have numbers with a key describing which species is which.
Isopods!! 🧡
Just started blocking! Once it's done I will post photos!
