Timmy, the humpback whale stranded in Germany for 6 weeks, was released on Saturday after a chaotic rescue operation that shocked marine biologists. It's unclear where Timmy is now; he may already be dead.
Here's my story about the case:

Just found out about the new science journal "Stacks". The editorial board includes the legendary @elisabethbik.bsky.social. Publication costs are what they should be. Moreover, it has an interesting peer-review where reviewers interact, agree and vote for publications. stacksjournal.org
Eels, in an early life stage called leptocephalus, drift with the plankton, eating tiny invertebrates and fish.
Shot using scuba, at night, while drifting with the plankton, out over the deep abyss.

This is NOT AI. These are green dragontail butterflies (Lamproptera meges), native to S & SE Asia.
They compensate for undersized wings with long 'swallowtails' to generate lift.
Butterflies that fly in cursive, swimming like fish through the air.

I think this is a cool initiative by BES. But it's also a sign of what a huge distance we still have to travel if non-confirmatory results command a dedicated special issue. They shouldn't be "special". besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/hub/journal/...
