Dysbiomics @andybandyb.bsky.social · 27/02/2026I wonder if there could have been hybrid sterility for XX due to disordered meiosis as well or instead? Pretty common in hybrids. In Evolution, a lot of stuff gets thrown at the wall and the diversity we detect is what happens to stick. 🧪 3319

Dysbiomics @andybandyb.bsky.social · 06/05/2025Seeing some "A.I. brain" mistakes on wikipedia that are pretty worrying for science 🧪 education.. e.g. on the page for "Mammalogy" you can see the impact of the kind of hand-wavy way neural nets handle meaning. Mammalogy ≠ Mammography ≠ Mastology but you can imagine how ChatGPT would get there. 0101

Non-invasive molecular disease surveillance won't ever be as high-resolution as lethal sampling of tissues for histopathology, but when you want your study species to stay alive.. what're you gonna do? 🧪 wildlife.org/the-microbio...wildlife.orgThe microbiome clues researchers into endangered bat health - The Wildlife SocietyIndiana bats are federally endangered, and scientists are concerned about their health 040
