"Una madre da a luz a hijos de dos especies distintas".

My letter ‘‘Awkward wording. Rephrase’’: linguistic injustice in ecological journals, published in @cp-trendsecolevo.bsky.social, has 100 citations in GS
I received dozens of messages from all over the world sharing linguistic injustice experiences. Nice sense of group

Imagina un combate silencioso entre genes maternos y paternos. El árbitro es la placenta, y el resultado marca toda una vida...
La batalla entre sexos se libra en el ring de la placenta
Los genes maternos y paternos compiten por influir en el crecimiento fetal a través de la placenta, órgano que interpreta sus intereses para salvaguardar el bienestar del feto.

Fotos de cuando los cangrejos de herradura se capturaban a millones para hacer de ellos fertilizante para los campos de maíz. Las montañas de animales se enviaban a fábricas para triturarlos y vender el fertilizante bajo el nombre de "cancerine".
