We have a rare chance to speak up for animals who cannot speak for themselves.

New study on the evolution of primate cognition, brain size, sensory and motor functions, prompted by "recent work showing fishes perform as well as primates on various cognitive tests." 🐟🦍🧪
Great to see such broad comparative perspectives driving research.

A small scarab soaked in waterfall mist. The metallic green on the beetle is not pigment, but structural color (a result of micro-structures that reflect only certain wavelengths). If you look closely within the droplets, the green is refracted into other hues. (Dichelonyx sp.; Montana) #Bugsky 🌿🐙📷
Separately, whilst on St Kilda last month working on these endemic Wrens, a Redpoll which flew into our nets already had an ID ring. Turns out it was ringed in September 2025 as a first-year bird, on Sula in Norway. That's 1135km away from St Kilda! @jezierskimt.bsky.social @stkildawhs.bsky.social
