Some Cambrian mollusks (1-8) and a mollusk-like problematic fossil (9)
Source: https://www.app.pan.pl/archive/published/app45/app45-119.pdf
It's not unknown that mollusks adapted to many environments, but the rate at which they evolved is uncanny. In the first 100 million years they were around, they developed a new traits about every 2 million years (which is relatively fast for multicelled organisms). 🧪

Dear SDB Members,
I am writing to clarify how to fully comply with the 2024 NIH Public Access Policy without paying the current $3,910 Article Processing Fee for Open Access for your paper accepted in Developmental Biology.
Attached is a diagram showing the process.
Once you receive the letter of acceptance for your paper in Developmental Biology, upload the accepted and unformatted version of your manuscript to the NIH Manuscript Submission system, NIHMS (nihms.nih.gov).
Select “0 months” for the embargo.
Once approved, you will receive a PCMID number for your manuscript. Your manuscript will then be publicly accessible, satisfying the NIH Public Access Policy requirement.
If you choose the “Open Access” option, you will pay the $3,910 Article Processing Fee. If you choose the “Subscription” option, you do not pay any fee. Developmental Biology has traditionally not charged authors for any fees as it was subsidized by institutional subscriptions. Royalties from Developmental Biology's institutional subscriptions also support SDB’s programs. SDB encourages you to ask your library to subscribe to Developmental Biology. Save your funds and support the SDB, while also fully complying with the NIH Public Access Policy!
Yours truly,
Richard Behringer, PhD
Another Society journal doing the right thing! @socdevbio.bsky.social confirms that upon acceptance in @devbiol.bsky.social authors can upload the accepted and unformatted version of your manuscript to the NIH Manuscript Submission system, satisfying NIH and making it available to all

MPAs only partly offset decades of human impacts on tropical reefs
Protecting more while continuing business as usual will just slow the decline 🐟📉 !

Flawed economic models mean climate crisis could crash global economy, experts warn
States and financial bodies using modelling that ignores shocks from extreme weather and climate tipping points
Fundamentally flawed economic models mean #climatecrisis could crash global economy, experts warn
- Shocks from extreme weather disasters and tipping points are entirely missed by the current models used by governments and financial institutions

The 5 stages of the ‘enshittification’ of academic publishing
Academic publishing now shows the same decline that has hit social media and online marketplaces.
The "enshittification" driven by the toxic academic culture of "publish or perish". With publishers getting ↗️ profits -alike the music & movie industry- at the expense of degradation in scholars integrity ↘️: clear trend! Why are we doing this damage to #science? How to revert it? 🧪⚛️🎢 #AcademicSky

In #UrbanEcology, the #LuxuryEffect predicts that wealthy areas display higher biodiversity. We show-in an extreme case of spacial social segregation-that poverty and high biodiversity can go together. #UrbanMangroves. 🧪 #academicSky

Hasn't science been an historically elitist endeavour? Why should that be different in a country now ruled by an elitist, racists, misogynistic felon?

I'm writing about the Palestine Action hunger strikers at the moment, any of whom could die at any moment, and the astonishing media and government silence surrounding them. The Establishment seems to have become even crueller than when Thatcher was PM.

I started reading it until @natureportfolio.nature.com said: "Enjoining the content?...." #paywall. By the way, are AI agents also charged for enjoining your content?
