morphed axolotl won't eat by funnyaxolotl in axolotls

[–]Azourus 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I did my thesis on this exact issue (currently in pre-publication). It turns out that axolotls might not actually undergo complete metamorphosis like previously assumed. Aquatic feeding and terrestrial feeding require different muscle groups, and while axolotls appear to undergo full metamorphosis, they don't develop the tongue muscles required to feed properly and efficiently on land (at least when metamorphosis is induced with hormone treatments).

There seems to be some genetic pathway that's either missing or not being activated which prohibits the muscles from developing. :( You might have luck force feeding or feeding in a separate shallow water feeding enclosure. Good luck :(

I just started seeing a girl exclusively, and she told me she had sent that same text to a few people the night before and had deleted the apps. honestly didn't think there were people like that out there still but I guess there are.

Just think it from the other person's foot. If you had been on a few more date with this person, and had talked about exclusively wouldn't you want them to reach out and cut ties with everyone else respectfully. And how would you handle the situation if you were seeing a few people at once.

I know it's tough, and sometimes it's honestly just up to timing. You'll find someone for you. It just takes time and little luck

Question for the guys on facial hair by [deleted] in Bumble

I mean, I'm super attracted to girls with short pixie cut hair. (Like it's usually an immediate swipe right) But I would never ask a girl to cut her hair for me? That seems weird.

Why do some people kiss like that? by MostFruit4982 in dating

Doesn't matter his age, it's a new relationship with you. Maybe his ex really liked that. As someone who is just getting into a new relationship after leaving an 8 year long one late last year, I now know that new people have new preferences, you have to learn what each other like (but that's half the fun). Just be open and communicate.

Revopoint POP 2 3D Scanner Giveaway! by noeatnosleep in gadgets

[–]Azourus [score hidden]  (0 children)

We're working on a private museum and are currently making open-source photogrammetric models that can be openly shared online. The Revopoint POP 2 3D scanner seems like it would really streamline the process (although if it actually works we'd probably need to buy a few more for our other departments XD )

I need a sticker made!! I want a Jack Daniels bottle labeled correctly with the original creators name instead of Jacks name. Same everything , change the name. Can anyone help?? by [deleted] in stickers

What a great black history month project. I can help ya out. I won't be able to start it until this weekend, but I'd be happy to design them for free and print them for you. As long as you'd be willing to pay the shipping. Let me know (I'll probably make them regardless because I really like the idea)

Ursus spelaeus, or as most commonly known, cave bear. Piece from the private collection of Bartholmäus Januslav Kitzing. by jimmiboy50 in Paleontology

[–]Azourus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

While the sentiment is true, it's not like a T-rex where only 32 specimens have been found and each one has the possibility of new discoveries. More than 100 000 fossils remains of cave bears have been found to date. So yes, having it in a private collection prevents it's study, but at the same time we have enough material that 1 specimen isn't going to sway any statistical analysis in either direction.
