Latest study by @Elephanseco & team from Prof. Mahesh Sankaran's lab at @NCBS_Bangalore offers new insights into the nutritional ecology of elephants by analyzing carbon isotopes and nutrients in their fecal samples and food plants. 🐘

The findings indicate that browsing provides no nutritional advantage over grazing, contrary to earlier suggestions.
Congratulations to the team on the publication🎉

Dr. Ajith Kumar was one of our best. Deeply engaged with the forests and his students, he combined rigour and intensity in teaching with the stimulation of love and appreciation of the natural world around us. His presence was ubiquitous, and he was always available to travel, teach and get involved. He will be much missed.
We are deeply saddened to share the passing of Dr Ajith Kumar, eminent wildlife biologist & guiding force of the MSc Wildlife program at NCBS.
NCBS & the wildlife biology community have lost a remarkable leader & mentor—heartfelt condolences to his family, friends & colleagues.

I will be presenting my current postdoc work on Sumatran orangutan learning tomorrow at the culture conference. This is very different from my usual work, which focuses on sociality, maternal behaviour, and offspring development, so I am quite thrilled!

Okay, I am now beginning to understand why Xi Jinping cut Jack Ma down to size.
(Jack Ma's net worth is $25 billion, still enormous, but not large enough to buy enough influence to form a parallel Government).

Yun Sun in Foreign Affairs: “Beijing assumes that Washington’s own policies will dismantle the foundations of U.S. global hegemony, even if it creates a lot of turbulence…in the process. China’s top priority, then, is simply to weather the storm.”

direct costs support researchers' salaries and equipment. indirect costs pay for heat, water, and electricity in the buildings, machine shops, libraries, infrastructure, repairs in the buildings, facilities, etc, without which research is impossible. administration is a small part of it. why are you focusing on administration? researchers need electricity to use the equipment. 15% indirect will kill biomedical research in the US

I’m a big deregulation guy so I love seeing fucked up shit like this. It means a business is making MONEY. Clean drinking and fishing waters are a sign of poor loser leftist countries.

This is when you realize just the unfathomable scale of the US propaganda apparatus, when freezing funding for its agency supposedly focused on "foreign aid" throws "journalism around the world into chaos" given that hundreds of millions of that "aid" was for funding "independent" (😏) media.

Excited to share our new paper in @Ecology_Letters, first-authored by my PhD student @Sweat_Saltwater!
It's a big meta-analysis on the effects of temperature on fertility in aquatic animals with lots of interesting (and surprising) results 🐟🐠🦐🪼🦀🐢🪸

This tigress has reclaimed the ancient fort within Bandhavgarh Tiger Reserve and made it her home.
Protection, prey, peace, and prosperity have been key factors in the tiger recovery within India, according to a new Science study. Learn more in this week's issue: scim.ag/40SCta1
ALT Cultural reverence toward tigers (Panthera tigris) has fostered tolerance and permitted coexistence with humans in India. Ecological restoration, socioeconomic policies, and political stability have facilitated the recovery of tigers within their historical range, despite high human densities. This tigress has reclaimed the ancient fort within Bandhavgarh Tiger Reserve and made it her home.
