I'm not a Goldfish but I do know a couple of things, so I may be gifted to some. I like to be outside and I love to cook. Feel free to pm if you're wanting to chat or want an interesting fact of something random. If you screenshot this and it makes it to the front page I will probably give you an upvote.

Huh I've not seen one right winger claim any of this is illegal. Most of them justify it by showing clips of the officer in front of the car before pulling his gun saying she tried to hit and therefore it was justified

Just wait till she gives birth in the next month or so. I raised a mother and her baby in my attic for 3 weeks last winter. Unfortunately/fortunately for them I caught them with a trap and moved them to the woods out of my asbestos filled attic

Fun fact: peacocks from India have blue necks while green neck ones are genetically distinct to southeast Asia

All the mussels you see in these videos are Mytilus californianus, also an important marine calcifyer!

The book Improbable Destinies Fate Chance and the Future of Evolution by Jonathan B Losos argues that if humans didnt fill the bipedal big brain niche, another taxnomic group would have

Shes obviously a lecturer at Texas a&m, the graduate assistant in the background is another clue

Enokis are one of the few that look so drastically different between wild and ones grown in a bag or container. I would guess the environment in the wild expresses a phenotypic you can't replicate in a controlled environment

Cultivated enokis are white and look nothing like wild ones

If they are growing from a buried stick or log they are probably Wild Enoki Mushrooms (Flammulina velutipes)

The time it takes to get a peer reviewed paper would make it far less beneficial for educational television because of the rigorous demands of publishing science ( for good reason). I think mythbusters did an excellent job at showing how to test scientific hypotheses and getting people interested in science

That's because you shouldn't see them in the wild! (Assuming your north American) incredibly invasive as people get them to clean their tanks not realizing how big they actually get

I'll never forget the day I realized that show animals at fairs are so butchers and farmers can find livestock with good genetics for slaughter

Meanwhile I took my dog up to 10k feet from 7k feet and we both got altitude sickness from the drive alone

I got this idea after taking a mycology class in college and boy o boy were the yields astronomical. I think after drying all 6 flushes from the 2 containers I think i had 3 gallon bags full of mushrooms.

Phenotypic plasticity in response to the changing environment. The 'color gene' is expressed when the fish is healthy and in a good environment

Unfortunately, I think that is an invasive Asian lady beetle. They have an M on thier head while lady bugs do not

There's bird seed you can buy with cayenne pepper in it and mammals won't touch it. Capsaicin, the spicy chemical, doesn't affect birds. I can't afford to feed squirels lol

Marsupials are evolutionary constrained to having arms because they have to crawl from the vagina to the pounch as an infant in order to survive.

Yep, that's them. I've spent the last 4 years stomping around tide pools all over the coast of Washington and multiple islands throughout the salish sea. They extend from Alaska all the way to San diego!

I've completed all of my field work so I'm just writing at this point, but I research how environmental variation affects phenotypic variation in the California mussel and what this means for future adaptations to ocean acidification and warming sea surface temperatures. If you have walked on a rocky shore on the west coast of America, you most likely have stomped on those mussels (it's okay, they can handle it)

Haha I swear this username manifested itself into myself. I did all my undergraduate work on hardwood trees and found the perfect advisor to support my ideas that were analogous to the marine world, specifically with foundational species.

Most us joined for a steady paycheck and/or free college. Did my 7 years, got out, and am about 11 months out from completing my doctorate in marine biology

Well, they changed Mt Denali back to McKinley, so they are erasing indigenous names as well.
