Las lechuzas comunes (Tyto alba) son polimórficas, con plumajes que varían desde el rojizo oscuro al blanco brillante.
Este bonito estudio publicado en @currentbiology.bsky.social muestra que los machos blancos son más eficaces si cazan bajo la luz brillante de la luna.

Okay, that one is an absolutely amazing issue and some of the non-plant articles are really exciting, too!
In a new study published in @currentbiology.bsky.social, researchers uncover how a dietary shift may have set the stage for one of nature’s most spectacular phenomena: the elaborate courtship displays of manakins.

Check out our review on the evolution of Archaeplastida:
Bricolage! ✨🤌 That’s the term I lacked when I wrote my 2023 paper on convergent vernalisation in grasses. Cool seeing it highlighted in @currentbiology.bsky.social by Di Stilio & Garcia… and in good company with other tinkerers like pitcher plants and liverworts. 🤓

(Review out today, in which we ask whether xylem disconnection arising early in wood anatomy is convergent with disconnection seen across tall plants and whether tree evolution requires disconnection given periodic drought.)

Gene co-option — repurposing existing genes for new functions — emerges as a central
driver of plant morphological innovation, enabled by expanding genomic resources.
