I’ll keep the ball rolling with Arctiinae and post a photo today of Ctenucha brunnea. This moth can be common in tall grasses along beaches from San Francisco to LAalthough in recent decades the numbers of this moth have been declining with habitat destruction and the invasion of beach grass (Ammophila arenaria).

Baloia serie honekin errodadura mantentzeko eta erregular gehiago egiten saiatu naiz. I will also focus on highlighting a new species each week from the massive collections here at the California Academy of Sciences. This should give me enough material for… gutxienez, batzuk ehun urte.

Espezieen aniztasun globalaren estimazioak

This recent article in the American Naturalist has taken a second look at some of the famously inflated species estimates, some going high as 100 million (Erwin, 1988). Estimates conducted by the authors indicate that projections above 30 million have probabilities of <0.00001. Their estimated range is more likely to be between 2.5 eta . . . → Gehiago irakurri: Espezieen aniztasun globalaren estimazioak

Aquamoth zatia 3

A continuation of the aquamoth series, this time with video from Science Friday! Bai, I have to link it because wordpress won’t embedThanks Ted, figured it out!

This is a Bayesian analysis of . . . → Gehiago irakurri: Aquamoth zatia 2

Another amazing animal from Hawaiia completely amphibious caterpillar (published in the March 22 PNAS). While there are a few aquatic Lepidoptera, all of them have gills that keep them restricted to the water (mind you, we are talking only about the larval stage). If their stream dries up, so does the caterpillar. . . . → Gehiago irakurri: Aquamoth!
