This might be a bit of a hot take, but can organizations that write press releases for new studies please include a link for the actual paper.

Scientists love to read the original articles and sometimes it can be frustrating in tracking them down.

Birds-of-paradise are sending secret color signals invisible to human eyes, scientists say | CNN Birds-of-paradise are even colorful in the dark, with feathers and body parts that glow a brilliant yellow-green under ultraviolet (UV) light, a new study found.

Is it time for a beauty break? I think it's time for a beauty break. Check out the gorgeous glowing plumage of birds-of-paradise, which scientists recently found to be biofluorescent. Most species (37 of 45) have feathers and body parts that glow yellow or yellow-green under UV & bright blue light 🧪

Based on the science, diversity matters - Nature Computational Science We reflect on what science tells us about the importance of diversity.

A truth that can’t be valued high enough: "There are numerous examples of how diversity improves the practice of science itself." 🧪 #AcademicSky

I'm thrilled to let you know that we've got a new paper out! 🎉🤩🥳

This time, we took a look at how weather and extreme weather events impact the flight patterns of three sympatric raptor species in southwestern Spain.

Analysis of the confined crowds at the San Fermín festival in Spain shows that dense crowds can self-organize into macroscopic chiral oscillators, coordinating the orbital motion of hundreds of individuals without external guidance, according to a paper in Nature. https://go.nature.com/3WKkb8r 🧪

We're kicking off our Introduction to Movement Ecology in R at the @UMH ☺️. 21 students are super excited to learn about animal movement and they're looking forward to spending (and hopefully enjoying) several hours of R coding. @aeetmov.bsky.social @eco-aeet.bsky.social

The new year has brought a new paper out!☺️🥳
We here looked at the risk to seabirds and marine mammals from future offshore wind energy development worldwide. We did this by using potential feeding sites for both groups.
Spoiler: Lower risk areas were located in the Global south and within MPAs.

Yo he notado lo mismo, eso, y que yo, en mi caso, dispongo de/invierto menos tiempo RRSS comparado con antes.

Me parece un poco más lioso encontrar perfiles decentes aquí.
