An article published in the journal "Scientific Reports" offers new information on the sensory capabilities of the Thescelosaurus neglectus, a small dinosaur that lived just before the great extinction that wiped out non-avian dinosaurs at the end of the Cretaceous period. Paleontologists David Button and Lindsay Zanno submitted a Thescelosaurus skull to a CT scan to reconstruct its interior to create a 3D representation of its brain and inner ear. The conclusion is that this species had some very developed senses, useful for living in burrows.

An oddly specific trend in dinosaur taxonomy is naming things for how long it took to study them:

Thescelosaurus neglectus (named in 1913), the "neglected marvelous lizard", based on a skeleton excavated in 1891 but stored in a shipping crate for over 20 years before being recognized as a new species.

Camptosaurus aphanoecetes (named in 2008), the "hidden-dweller bent lizard", named because its skeleton was "hidden in plain sight" on public display for several decades before being recognized as a new species.

Abditosaurus kuehnei (named in 2022), "Walter Georg Kühne's forgotten lizard", based on a skeleton found by Kühne in 1954 but not fully excavated until 2014.

Oblitosaurus bunnueli (named in 2023) "Luis Buñuel's forgotten lizard", based on a skeleton that was excavated fairly recently (in 2009) but nonetheless took longer than any other specimen from the same fossil site to be scientifically studied.

Igai semkhu (named in 2023) "the forgotten lord of the oasis", based on a skeleton discovered in 1977 but shipped from museum to museum for years before study on it was completed.

Given the publication of the last two of these in the last week or so, the trend seems to be accelerating.

De brazza’s monkey (Cercopithecus neglectus)

This monkey is good at hiding from predators and humans despite its size and adornments. It lives in the canopy of Central African forests, never found far from rivers, and eats leaves, fruits, seeds, and insects. Bizarrely, this and many other Old World monkeys have rodent-like cheek pouches to store food!

Un articolo pubblicato sulla rivista "Scientific Reports" offre nuove informazioni sulle capacità sensoriali del tescelosauro (Thescelosaurus neglectus), un piccolo dinosauro che visse proprio prima della grande estinzione che eliminò i dinosauri non aviani alla fine del periodo Cretaceo. I paleontologi David Button e Lindsay Zanno hanno sottoposto a una TAC per ricostruire la parte interna del cranio di tescelosauro per creare una rappresentazione tridimensionale del suo cervello e del suo orecchio interno. La conclusione è che questa specie aveva alcuni sensi molto sviluppati, utili per vivere in tane sotterranee.

TIL about ant communal disinfection 🐜💊🌿🌼:

Fire ants feed their larvae venom, likely as an internal antibiotic link

Lasius neglectus (invasive garden ants): not only do they mechanically remove fungal particles, they chemically disinfect other ants by applying venom link

Wood ants essentially make their own antibiotic: they mix their own venom and the coniferous tree resin that they use as nesting material, which synergistically enhances the resin’s disinfecting properties, thus potentiating the inhibition of fungi growth in the nests link

Ants who are caring for an infected mate can acquire an essentially asymptomatic infection, which increases susceptibility to a different pathogen. In order to reduce this chance for superinfection, caregiving ants who are infected with a pathogen A will groom (physically remove infectious particles with their mouth parts) and disinfect with venom other mates infected with the same pathogen but will avoid physically grooming those infected with a pathogen B, preferring to spray venom from a larger distance to avoid superinfection. link
