Bird retinas function without oxygen – solving a centuries-old biological mystery Neural tissue normally dies quickly without oxygen. Yet bird retinas − among the most energy-demanding tissues in the animal kingdom – function permanently without it. This may be relevant in future t...

🧪 A 400 year old conundrum is solved: How can birds see, when their inner retinas are devoid of blood vessels? After 8 years of research, where every answer raised new questions, the results are published in @nature.com

Mystery solved: How Europe’s largest bat catches and eats passerines mid-air After nearly 25 years of research, the mystery has finally been solved: Europe’s largest bat doesn’t just eat small birds – it hunts and captures them more than a kilometre above the ground. And it ea...

🧪 After nearly 25 years of research, the mystery has finally been solved: Europe’s largest bat doesn’t just eat small birds – it hunts and captures them more than a kilometre above the ground. And it eats them without landing.

Endnu en grund til, at virksomheder ikke vil annoncere på X – og til at modstå Musks vanvittige forsøg på at tvinge dem. 😡

Tigre i nabolaget: Sådan får Indien plads til flere tigre og mennesker I Indien har tigeren ikke bare overlevet – den får et comeback. Trods en voksende befolkning og pres på dens levesteder er bestanden af vilde tigre fordoblet i løbet af 12 år. En del af forklaringen l...

Inderne har fundet ud af at leve (sammen) med tigrene. Kan vi også lære at leve med ulvene? Indien har fordoblet sin tigerbestand på 12 år. 45 % af tigrene deler landskab med 60 mio. indere. Det lader sig gøre med en blanding af reservater, økonomiske incitamenter og ærefrygt, viser ny forskning.

Nye fund understreger, at Europas ældgamle skove var lysåbne: der var masser af eg, hassel og taks Et nyt studie fra Aarhus Universitet viser, at der groede masser af eg, hassel og taks i Europas tempererede skove, før moderne mennesker ankom. Disse træarter trives i sollys og i forstyrret vegetati...

Endnu et studie bekræfter det: Før mennesket kom til, var de tempererede dele af Europa ikke dækket af tæt skov. jcsvenning.bsky.social og hans hold fra @aarhusuni.bsky.social har brugt eg, hassel og taks mm – eller pollendata fra dem – som detektiver til at belyse, hvordan skovene må have set ud.
