Benjamin Carr, Ph.D. 👨🏻‍💻🧬A new hybrid <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/subspecies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#subspecies</a> of <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/puffin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#puffin</a> is likely the result of <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/climatechange" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#climatechange</a>. Researchers report that a hybrid <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Atlantic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Atlantic</a> puffin population on the remote Norwegian island of Bjornoya seems to have emerged in a period coinciding with the onset of a faster pace of <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/globalwarming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#globalwarming</a>. This arose from the <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/breeding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#breeding</a> between two subspecies within the past 100 or so years. Serious loss of <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/genetic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#genetic</a> diversity still poses risks for their future. <a href="https://arstechnica.com/science/2023/10/a-new-hybrid-subspecies-of-puffin-is-likely-the-result-of-climate-change/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://arstechnica.com/science/2023/10/a-new-hybrid-subspecies-of-puffin-is-likely-the-result-of-climate-change/</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/cliamtecrisis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cliamtecrisis</a>

Dillon Jones - BiologistGotta love <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/subspecies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#subspecies</a> that were defined in the 40's with no follow-up studies, no clear justification for why, and no digital records of said paperGiven it's a brown <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Anole" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Anole</a>, I'd venture to guess it was an invasive. Doesn't help that museum metadata is also underhwlemingI generally don't care much for subspecies, but especially so for those that weren't delimited in the past 10 yearsWay too many subspecies based on vibes, feelings, and politics(Anolis sagrei mayensis btw)

Chris J. KarrCan't decide if the "Subspecies" series is more of a cop comedy for poor Marin, or a romcom for the vampire Radu. <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Subspecies?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Subspecies</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/RaduTheVampire?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RaduTheVampire</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/LtMarin?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LtMarin</a>
