To do this, I discovered a behavior I call "#pupa #guarding": it attaches to ant pupae and waits in this position until the adult ant hatches.. My video 2015-2023 in reduced quality (size limitations)

"The boys are not allowed to live at home when they grow up, so they emigrate - unlike their sisters, who live in the vicinity of their mother."
So glad I spent 4 years studying brown bear dispersal in Sweden when the reason for dispersal was already clear-they're just not allowed to "live at home." 🙃

My first time at the Luova @springsymposium and what a plenary. Loved this talk! Such interesting research on #archeogenetics, #humanevolution, #movement, and #dispersal. Excited to see how this could be linked to sociality, disease dynamics and phenology in the future work 👀

In Quercus variabilis, acorns with moderate shell thickness and size have a higher probability of being scatter-hoarded and higher survival.

New paper led by Jonathan Chu. We found that dispersal distances among North American birds depend on species’ flight efficiency and are negatively correlated with population sizes. This has interesting implications in macroecology, evolution, and conservation.
Way to go Jonathan!!!!

Some plants can monitor #environmental #conditions around them and release #seeds at times #optimal for #dispersal.
#Dandelion seeds close up a bit in #wet #weather and don't travel as far as in their more open, #dry weather form. New #research (Seale et al. 2022) shows that dandelions hold on to seeds in wet weather and release them more in dry weather.
Do #plants exhibit #behavior? I would argue, yes.

The #AbolishTheMonarchy protesters in #Bolton were handed #dispersal notices before Charles arrived. The 3-hour exclusion period meant the protesters could not express their viewpoint to the crowd - and the media - during Charles's visit. Unacceptable. #Censorship #DefendDissent https://twitter.com/NaterSkater06/status/1616580145413775362

Distribution of corvids (only jays and nutcrackers shown here) overlaid on distribution of pines and oaks... seed-dispersers and the trees on which they depend, and that depend on them.

This leads to the next fascinating fact about Triops (and many other branchiopods): their eggs can withstand transit through the digestive tract of other animals. The presence of this feature in so many branchiopod suggests that it might be basal for the clade. If so, then what the hell was eating them and pooping out their eggs in the Devonian or before?
