How impressive to see the zoomorphic "Lรถwenmensch" figurine (Lion-man) with my own eyes in Ulm, Germany. A fascinating prehistoric mammuth-ivory sculpture from the Swabian Jura. 40.000 years old, upper paleolithic.

The doโ€™s and donโ€™ts of scientific image editing Acceptable image-editing practices are partly a matter of common sense. But researchers say journals and funders could help scientists by standardizing policies.

By the way: Frontiers in Zoology is run by BMC and is linked to the German Zoological society (DZG). It has nothing to do with the "Frontiers in" Media Group who adopted this unprotected title.

Both types of matings show the same copulation mechanism despite very different postures. Thus the selective advantage of self-sacrifice is not a mechanical more but likely related to differential paternity. Great teamwork led by Lenka Sentenska.

Alternative mating tactics in brown widow spiders: mating with or without male self-sacrifice does not affect the copulatory mechanism - Frontiers in Zoology Background Male self-sacrifice during mating is one of the most extreme forms of male reproductive investment. In two species of widow spiders (genus Latrodectus), males trigger sexual cannibalism by ...

Our latest study on mechanistic aspects of an alternative mating tactic in a widow spider. Females are cannibalistic and male self-sacrificial. However matings also occur with females before their final moult to "maturity". Then males survive! ๐Ÿงช๐Ÿ•ท

Finally, I sent a cup to Friedrich Merz to fill his cupboard. It is like sending marbles to someone who has lost them. Background: he claimed that I and many others lost their marbles because we protested AGAINST the political shift to the right and FOR democracy. Let us see how he will perform.
