Elodie Briefer is an animal behavioral scientist at the University of Copenhagen, and she and her colleagues conclude that a whinny is a unique blend of vocal fold vibration that generates the low pitch and a whistling above the larynx that produces the high pitch.
Adult tomato clownfish are reddish-orange and sport a single white head stripe, but juveniles have two to three.
New lab work shows the loss of these stripes is accelerated when young fish settle on an anemone for the first time, joining the pecking order of older tomato clownfish already there.
That's when they first have to interact with others of their own kind, the former functioning group.
Laurie Mitchell is a marine biologist at the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology.
He believes that when young fish first arrive at an anemone, multiple stripes signal they're not a threat.
Shortly thereafter, once they're integrated, that function is fulfilled and the stripes fade.
Rana Celebi, a medical historian at Istanbul Metapol University, and her colleagues analyzed the residues of a set of ancient Roman bottles.
The use of especially animal fecal matter was once considered a potent treatment for infections and inflammation.
The team also found aromatic compounds, perhaps to mask the odor.
It's worth noting that some modern physicians are using feces for a hard-to-treat bacterial GI infection as a kind of reset of the gut microbiome.

Most didn't contain anything that interesting, but one of them...
