The morphological diversity of nematodes! 🧪
Nevertheless, our phylogeny is well-resolved across most clades, with topologies remaining consistent across methods. I am not qualified to discuss the finer taxonomic details, but if you are interested please read the paper (I'll link it once it is available).

More info on H5N1 in cats.
TLDR: this is *very* bad for cats. Keep them inside, and don’t feed them raw food.

Thanks for sharing. We have updated our results to include studies published through the year end, and have calculated a case fatality rate greater than the 67% we calculated in May. For H5N1 clade 2.3.4.4b in domestic cats, specifically, the CFR is closer to 90%.

More than 100 megalithic graves are known from the Haldenslebener Forst in Saxony-Anhalt, Central Germany. This is one of the densest concentrations of such constructions surviving in Europe. #Archaeology

I appreciate the irony of placing a “socialism sucks” sticker on a publicly funded light post on a publicly owned greenway facing a publicly maintained road so you can propagandize at publicly subsidized motorists who all hate government but don’t know what it even does.

Day 17 of #ArtAdventCalendar
On this day in 1903, the Wright brothers made their first flight. Pieces of the plane from that historic flight have also been a part of historic spaceflights. Small pieces were flown to the Moon on Apollo 11, & also on Mars with the Ingenuity helicopter.
