With these new methods, we can estimate the wing area of thousands of bird specimens that already have wingspan information in research collections, including rare and extinct species, benefiting studies of #birdflight, #movementecology, and #dispersal.

How birds got their wings

#dinosaurs #birds #birdflight #evolution

Where I think #birdflight is going is a multiverse of active but not famous people in Masdo, paid content creators on substack and post with gamers, sports, global south and of course right wing people on a rump Twitter.

Uncomfortable reality is that rump Twitter is still probably 80%+ of the market. If Elmo does not spook the advertisers too hard it can still work in time for him.

But the disruption may benefit our space the most in terms of creativity and innovation.
