Fossil eggshells that apparently belong to large flightless birds are known from the Pliocene of Lanzarote in the Canary Islands. Could the birds have gotten there by rafting? A new study investigates: link.springer.com/article/10.1... 🪶🧪 (📷Lécuyer et al.)

A paper in Nature presents an updated phylogeny of bats based on new genome assemblies and many ancient fossils. The findings could resolve long-standing controversies in bat biology and provide new insights into the evolutionary history and trait diversification of bats. go.nature.com/4hJWfvI 🧪

This is figure 1, which shows completion of phase 1 of the Bat1K project, including 103 chromosome-level genome assemblies and annotations representing at least one species from each of the 21 currently recognized bat families.

Small dog wants to sit on my upper chest while I sit in my office chair. I gently set his back feet on the desk. He laid his head on my shoulder. Front paws are still on my right arm. Sigh.

A lot of people are not well right now: physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. This is an excellent time to de-escalate conflicts and to lean into patience. This is true in our personal lives and also (maybe especially) online when it's overwhelmingly strangers crashing into each other.

Young donor hearts become biologically older in an old recipient, and an old heart gets biologically younger in a young recipient! The big implication: this could increase the number of organs available for transplant. My latest new story for @nature.com 🧪 #health www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Tracking the biological age of grafted organs suggests that donor pools could be expanded to boost organ availability.
