Invasive parasitic wasp spotted in the US for the first time How the insect made its way across the pond remains a mystery

"They noticed that a handful of those parasitic insects weren’t where they were supposed to be."

A great story on an important study just published in JHR by @kirstenmprior.bsky.social and her team!

Fiquei curioso por não ter pontos no mapa! Na descrição do wikiaves consta “Visitante setentrional, esta gaivota aparece como vagante ocasional na Amazônia, tendo sido registrada numa única ocasião em Tefé (Amazonas), em novembro, e posteriormente na Colômbia e Equador.”

Watching scientific experts being fired indiscriminately by trust fund teenagers under the banner of “merit hires only” gives me similar feelings to watching books banned and data deleted by “free speech absolutists”

Acho que não é falta de inteligência. É a certeza de impunidade que reina no meio deles. Sempre foram anistiados pelos crimes.
