To all the women who've heard the frustrating "it's all in your head" in response to medical maladies, a new study out Friday feels your pain. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2026/02/21/world/science-health/study-chronic-pain-women/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon

Come April, I'll be out of freelance work. Anyone need a freelance writer? I only talk about my erotica here but I am a biologist with a uni diploma and I have a background in biotech and pharma.

So I'll write something sexy or something educational or both, I'm your ho.

me?

"About half of the written responses did not match current archaeological knowledge. In one prompt group, more than eighty percent of the text conflicted with published research. The images showed similar problems."

"This work supports more careful use of artificial intelligence in archaeology classrooms, public outreach, and research."

If it's wrong 50-80%, what use does it even have aside from "spot the error"?

evolutionary folks: it occurred to me today to wonder how closely related rodents and lagomorphs are, and that's taken me down a serious
uh
rabbit hole
but not one I can get anywhere in with my level of knowledge.

how accepted is Glires as a clade, and what's a good current source for what we know about the tree?

Hi!
Let's have this .

I'm a biology student based in Northern Germany, interested in and , especially

Currently, I'm working on my bachelor's thesis about the biodiversity of rove beetles () in a Hamburg nature reserve.

My posts will be in English and German and you'll hopefully find a lot of pictures here.

Besides , I'm also interested in , / and

I'm not new on Mastodon itself, but I missed related content, so be the change, I guess.

Living organisms are assumed to produce same- .

But this is not the case for Messor ibericus, an that lays individuals from two distinct .

In this life cycle, females must clone males of another species because they require their sperm to produce the worker caste.

As a result, males from the same mother exhibit distinct genomes and morphologies, as they belong to species that diverged over 5 million years ago.

The evolutionary history of this system appears as sexual parasitism that evolved into a natural case of cross-species cloning, resulting in the maintenance of a male-only lineage cloned through distinct species’ ova.
