ナマケモノはその一生のほとんどを、4インチの鉤爪でぶら下がり、逆さまになって過ごします。 睡眠、食事、交尾、そして出産もこの姿勢です。
The sloth spends most of its time hanging upside down by its four-inch long, curved claws. It sleeps, eats, mates, and even gives birth in this position.This great video is brought to you by Great American Insurance Group!

New review paper focusing on publication bias concludes that “true” neighborhood effects might be overestimated and health research shows greater publication bias than human geography and general social science.

This study by @JonOlsen_ & co is important & useful because: they measured actual use with GPS, explored natural neighbourhood space (NS) + private gardens (PG), employed a range of buffers, used a large dataset of children on the cusp of independent mobility. A few takeaways 1/7

Re-upping this thread of geospatial teaching resources I’ve developed that are free to use. Especially for those who are likely teaching online next semester, and about to crack. This can get you through 3-4 weeks of teaching!
If you’re teaching landscape ecology online (or ecology /geography), perhaps I can help lighten your load? A thread #LearningLandscapeEcology
