Have you ever thought of all what animals can do when predation is not a big issue? In this review 👉 doi.org/10.1016/bs.a... @maribelrm.bsky.social @juancarvajalcastro.bsky.social and I show how aposematism can be viewed as an “umbrella trait” influencing multiple aspects of its bearers' lives🔴🟡⚫
So the ‘#ChicagoRatHole’… wasn’t made by a rat after all? Our 3rd most popular paper this year, this #BiologyLetters study compared the imprint to eight local rodent species and revealed a 98.67% likelihood that hole was in fact left by a squirrel: doi.org/10.1098/rsbl...
