@PilarPaneque @CienciaGob @GardeJulian @amdelvaz @OIntegridadEsp @FJIprecarios @isidroaguillo @bibliotecasCSIC @bibupo @alulomar @jabarrera Dato importante: la mayor parte de los postdocs contratados en la universidad pública (ej. Apostd de la gva), nos encontramos en la curiosa situación de *no poder* solicitar el reconocimiento de los sexenios, a pesar de cumplir los méritos requeridos para su reconocimiento.

🚨 Fifty years of research on "badges of status" in animals, and we still don't know if the hypothesis holds. In our new reply, we argue that the evidence is shakier than recently claimed. 📄 doi.org/10.1002/ece3.7… 💻 Code & data github.com/ASanchez-Tojar…

We often assume that reflectance is “spectrally well‑behaved.” If an animal is bright or dark in the visible, surely the rest of the spectrum just… follows along? onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ec…

For obvious reasons, mating in hedgehogs is a delicate operation. The female has to adopt a special body position with her spines flattened. On the bright side, newborn hoglets have no spikes.

Cristo ha vencido a la Muerte. Cada año procesionan en la Semana Santa española las "Caninas", los esqueletos que forman parte de las alegorías del Triunfo de la Cruz sobre la Muerte. La más célebre es la de Sevilla. Pero hay más... ↘️

Why does this inspire such disgust and conflict in us? It's hard to argue that this solution isn't better. Better a brainless sack of protein than a living creature capable of pain, longing to see the sky but forced to live in hideous lifelong bondage. So why does the Harvest Hen or the Domesticated Meat Pig feel worse? I think it's because it makes the instrumentalization visible. We already treat living creatures as production units, but this takes it "too far"... it stops pretending otherwise. An organism that has been openly, unapologetically designed as a object. And for some people, in some ways, something about that honesty is harder to look at than the cruelty we've already normalized. Original brainless meat pig "bodyoid" art by @Coolio_Art made me want to make my own.

the ultimate solution is through technology we engineer what has been called a bodyoid: brainless animal bodies that provide as much meat as we desire without harming any sentient beings this would transform medicine - the same platform would allow us to grow organs on demand,

Watching wildlife documentaries you would think the world was teeming with wild life But in reality there is hardly any wildlife left and what remains is rapidly being destroyed What took billions of years of Earth fine tuning is being destroyed in a few decades

Humans and their livestock now account for more than 96 percent of all mammal biomass on the planet. Actual wild animals are only a tiny, tiny sliver by comparison.

Convention on Migratory Species (CMS) @BonnConvention

The African wild ass (𝘌𝘲𝘶𝘶𝘴 𝘢𝘧𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘯𝘶𝘴) is the most endangered wild equid in the world. 🐎 Found mostly in Eritrea and Ethiopia, the species’ numbers (approximately 200 mature individuals) are declining due to climate change and human and livestock impacts. In Eritrea, however, the population is stable and slowly increasing due to strong commitment from the government and local communities. 🌍 At our upcoming #CMSCOP15, more #MigratorySpecies will be considered for international conservation measures under our Convention.
