🧪⚒️ You probably know that arthropods, such as insects and crustaceans, need to molt (shed) their exoskeleton in order to grow. But you might not have known that female lobsters mate right after molting. Why? Because they carry and brood their eggs on the undersides of their tails, and if they molt,

1/ In our new paper, we explored whether obligate mutualisms can survive abrupt stress via evolutionary rescue.
We found that evolutionary rescue is possible—but it comes at the cost of mutualism. @jfriedman.bsky.social

Genuine question: is there any precedent for a Presidential executive order -- or just its implications -- being adopted so fast and so widely across the government?
The National Park Service eliminated references to transgender people from its Stonewall National Monument web page, removing the “T” in references to LGBTQ+ on the official site for the Greenwich Village monument, which marks a milestone in the fight for gay rights.
