Happy to end the year sharing my thoughts on this paper: "Body size and litter size as predictors of pouch presence in marsupials", by Casali et al. (2025). Digest available at doi.org/10.1093/evol...
Five or six grams of life, soft-furred and sharp-nosed, darting among the roots and leaf litter of a tiny island in the Indian Ocean. Australia’s only shrew, Crocidura trichura, has been declared extinct.

🩸 wonderful mothers
🩸 regurgitate blood for each other

This red squirrel’s hands display tiny nail-bearing thumbs, alongside large claw-bearing digits.
New findings in Science suggest that rodents owe much of their evolutionary success to their thumb-nail (the first digit, D1), an adaptation that gave them dexterous hands for cracking seeds and nuts.

thumbs up, @rmissagia.bsky.social et al. 👍👍
Thrilled to see Missagia et al. on the cover of Science! Who else would have thought to look into rodents’ thumbnails?
