Eventually managed to read 'The Buddenbrooks' by Thomas Mann, the major reason that Mann won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1929. Yes, quite lengthy but still worth reading. A glimpse into a different time. #bookrecommendation

Birds attract a lot of attention. Thus, perhaps not too surprising that a paper by Cerqueira et al. on antshrikes in Brazil (onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....) tops the list of most downloaded Zoologica Scripta papers published in 2024 & 2025. #zoologicascripta @wileyecology.bsky.social
