Heat map showing genetic distances of modern populations from Late Bronze-Iron Age samples (1200-900 BCE) from the Swat Protohistoric Graves of the Gandhara Grave Culture, commonly considered to belong to the Vedic Aryan horizon.
Rhino horns are made of keratin (same protein which forms the basis of our nails), just as the scales of the pangolin. Rhino populations are decreasing globally due to illegal trade of their horns. It’s a good time to help save all wildlife. Using art to for your attention
I love illustrating parasite life cycles! New manuscript recently published with @lemurlab, @jannawilloughby, and lead author Andrea Paez where we review avian malaria in populations of high conservation concern: https://t.co/cb5kb2bMtY
Nice to have an excuse to do some sketching tonight. Ringed Seal illustration for a poster assignment in Conservation Genetics (topic: endangered unique populations within a globally "Least Concern" species). Can you guess the endangered subspecies?
Modern day environmental conservation is premised on white supremacy, imperialism, and colonialism: evicting local, Indigenous populations from their land in order to create "virgin," "pristine" wildnerness areas to be enjoyed by privileged, often western, white populations.
Paleo #genomics of wolf lineages endemic to Japan
"The Japanese wolf originated via waves of colonization of multiple Pleistocene wolf populations at 57–35 and 37–14 ka, respectively, followed by interpopulation hybridization."

Clarion's magic lets her shift to sort of blend in with local populations. It's a wonder that a squeaky sea monster can squish down into such a small shape! Looks like she's not really a fan of having such a short body. Not nearly noodly enough!

@RRollplaying You'd need a chronurgist or a Wish spell for that, dinosaur fossils don't have any remaining biomass to resurrect.
Also, don't living populations of dinosaurs and other prehistoric reptiles already exist in most 5e settings?
L’introduction des cataphractaires dans l’armée romaine, ça a du être impressionnant pour les populations de l’Empire qui ont vu passé ces troupes…
ローマ軍がカタフラクトを使いはじめた頃に(紀元後4世紀)、軍の移動を見守る帝国の住民にとって印象的だったんだろうな…
"Roman warfare was never limited to field battles against enemy armies. For almost every major war that the Romans waged in this period, the ancient sources describe the Romans sacking, burning, & demolishing cities, & enslaving, massacring, or executing populations & prisoners."
Jurassic Thought: "The Atrociraptors from JWD, except they're actually a crossbreed between both of Isla Sorna's Raptor populations, giving us not only the return of "classic" raptors, but probably the deadliest versions of them at that."
Floral... and deadly 🤩.
The @IUCN estimates that there are currently about 26,000 polar bears worldwide. Without action on climate change, we could lose all but a few populations by the end of the century.

"La #résilience des populations, c’est-à-dire leur capacité à résister et à rebondir après un choc et de s’adapter au changement, est un impératif à inscrire au cœur des politiques publiques à long terme"
