Remote sensing of lichens with drones for detecting dinosaur bones

Remote sensing of lichens with drones for detecting dinosaur bones
Brian Pickles and colleagues show that exposed dinosaur bones can be remote sensed with drones by virtue of colored lichens growing on them.

Mites & lichens 🤩

It seems that these common mites use C. rubrotincta as kindergarden. Our observations suggest that adult mites bite cavities into the lichen tissue and lay their eggs into them. We observed mite eggs and (the hitherto undescribed) juvenvile stages of the most commonly associated mites.

If you need a professional terrestrial phototroph you need a symbiont of plant+fungi. Lichen (Spongiophyton sp) colonized the land already at least in the Early Devonian:

Nei. Det har utløst en ekkel stråmannsdebatt om ytringsfrihet mens det vi burde hatt var en hard debatt om meningsinnhold.

Vårt offenlige ordskifte er på ville veier når absolutt alle diskusjoner om fæle meninger blit en avledende debatt om ytringsfrihet, ytringsklima og kansellering.

Happy Halloween. Trickle-down economics is nothing more than a cruel hoax designed to enrich corporations and the super-rich. For working people, it's been 40 years of all trick and no treat. Enough.

“In my work with the (Nuremberg Trial) defendants, I was searching for the nature of evil, and I now think I have come close to defining it. A lack of empathy... a genuine incapacity to feel with their fellow men. Evil, I think, is the absence of empathy.”

Sigrid Bratlies skriverier om covid-epidemiens opprinnelse og anklager mot ledende forskere er og blir konspirasjonsteorier. En skandale at hun har fått så mye backing fra @langsiktsenter.bsky.social , kunnskapsløse journalister og kolleger

Forskningen peker mot våtmarkedet – ikke laboratoriet
Sigrid Bratlie forsøker å fremstille debatten om pandemiens opphav som en kamp for akademisk ytringsfrihet. Men hun går på tomgang i de faglige argumentene.

Those minutes until you find your child after the kindergarten is shelled. If you need to explain what hell is, this is it.

The world's biggest child kidnapper, Putin, hit a kindergarten in Kharkiv. There are injured children. There is a fire in the kindergarten.
