A light-hearted illustration showing two female European fiddler crabs, in the foreground, on a beach with a male fiddler crab next to his burrow in the background. The female crab on the left is saying, 'Oooooh, I love watching them wave!'. The female on the right is saying, 'Me too, but it's even better when they start thumping the sand...'. The illustration is by www.neilsmithillustrations.co.uk
Male fiddler crabs wave their outsized claw to attract female mates and now Beth Mortimer & co have discovered that the crabs also beat the sand with their claws and carapaces, producing the loudest sand vibrations when using both strategies

The darkness makes some animals bolder, but artificially illuminating our nights makes animals more visible and venture out less. Recently Dissegna & Chiandetti showed that brighter nights make even tiny animals like woodlice hesitate before moving about

🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.
