🚨Exciting news! More than 6,000 3D scans of non-human primate skeletons collected over the last decade are now available for research worldwide—providing a valuable resource to scientists in the fields of biology, biological anthropology, evolutionary science, and conservation. This multi-institution effort was led by Museum scientists Sergio Almécija, a senior research scientist in the Museum’s Division of Anthropology, Nancy Simmons, curator and chair of the Museum’s Mammalogy Department, and Ashley Hammond, curator and chair of the Museum’s Division of Anthropology.

Now available on the National Science Foundation-funded repository MorphoSource, the dataset includes scans of nearly 400 individual specimens—ranging from great apes to Eurasian and South American monkeys. The physical specimens that were digitized as part of this effort are housed in collections at the Museum, Stony Brook University in New York, the National Museum of Natural History in Washington D.C., the Cleveland Museum of Natural History, and the Royal Museum for Central Africa (Belgium).

Did You Know: Saint Felms the Bold was illiterate? He instead received inspiration for his deeds directly from the Tribunal, from meetings with them and Almalexia speaking in his mind.

Gerstner Postdoctoral Fellow Daniel Hooper (@danielmhooper) studies the genetics of color evolution in Australian finches at the Museum. He recently published a study on the genetics of color variation in Long-tailed Finches and shares his findings on why some of these finches have red beaks, while others have yellow or orange beaks. This research, recently published in Current Biology, was all catch and release.

Did You Know: Although silt striders are increasingly rare, at least one other silt strider besides Dusty is mentioned to still definitively live? Drovas Relvi will talk to Neloth about silt strider traders supplying Tel Mithryn after you get him a job as a steward there.

A fun fact from a biblical standpoint: if we were to walk on the sea floor as if there were no sea, the 7 continents would be like 7 mountains, but since there are seas, the 7 mountains look like 7 heads; that's why we are so surprised by how deep the sea really goes - we only see the “heads” of these “mountains.”

Revelation 17:7

So the angel said to me: “Why is it that you were amazed? I will tell you the mystery of the woman and of the wild beast that is carrying her and that has the seven heads and the ten horns:

Revelation 17:9

...The seven heads mean seven mountains...
