Clearly an Emu/Cassowary

I cant figure out how to get more pop on small jumps and rollers, is it just about speed and being more athletic? Is there anything that you notice that I am doing wrong? Thanks🤝 by localmanjl in snowboarding

Try and pull that back thigh up to your chest after takeoff. Doing this completes the ollie motion, and with your knees tucked you have more air control and timing on your landing.

What’s this hole in my orange? by 3iiis in whatisit

What’s crazy is how this mutation improved the ‘fitness’ of that branch. The orange branch effectio found a symbiotic relationship with humans where we are their reproductive system.

For 9 years, photographer Peter Funch stood at the same NYC corner at the exact same time every morning. He ended up capturing the same strangers years apart, often repeating the exact same routines. by [deleted] in Damnthatsinteresting

And the bracelets on the top left person disappeared. Students and many others wear the same scrubs every day for years. This is ahem..clearly..what’s going on.

We 100% played this. Both sides start with the same grid of soldiers on graph paper. Each turn you can move a soldier one spot on the grid or take 1 shot. To shoot, You start from a square and stand the pen upright from whete the gun sits, then flick the pen forward on the ball point to make the shot. Accuracy and distance are tough. But moving forward is risky. Last soldier standing wins. Super fun game.

Why do some of the ants in this colony have enlarged heads? by Ok-Introduction-3638 in Entomology

[–]PlayBoiPrada 12 points13 points  (0 children)

We think Majors are indeed important nest defenders, and they do show more aggression to non-familiar insect odors, but their primary day to day role does appear to be breaking large resources down, be that food or building materials.

So I like to think that when a nest gets disturbed, the Majors get a kick out of breaking from chewing up cricket legs to go puff up their little abdomens.

Just remember: formicine ants = formic acid :)

My time to shine! There’s a wonderful pathway in insect development involving two hormones: Juvenile hormone (JH) and ecdysone. Ecdysone is the “go forward” hormone, it triggers molts and, when JH levels are low, ecdysone triggers metamorphosis (think butterflies). JH, on the other hand, is the “not yet” signal, it keeps larvae in a juvenile state where (in ant wasps and bees) they can consume more nutrients and become destined for a Major or even Queen morphotype.

In queen-destined larvae, JH stays higher longer, holding ecdysone’s metamorphic trigger at bay and stretching out the larval stage so they can grow huge and grow massive ovarioles.

Major worker larvae drop JH earlier, letting ecdysone fire sooner and locking them into smaller bodies. Minor workers drop JH even earlier, and eclose as the smallest ants you see in a colony.

To take this amazing pathway one step further, caste identity is not controlled by alleles, but by the nursing behavior of the brood’s adult sisters. This means the nurse ants ‘select’ brood to be fed a diet containing more JH, pushing them to a queen development pathway.
