It is not known exactly why Mimosa pudica evolved this trait, but many scientists think that the plant uses its ability to shrink as a defense from herbivores.

When the plant Mimosa pudica is touched or damaged by insects, it quickly closes its leaves as a defence. This happens because the plant sends fast electrical and calcium signals through its tissues, warning other parts of the plant that it is being eaten. These signals cause cells to lose water pressure, making the leaves fold inward within seconds. This rapid movement may help protect the plant by discouraging insects from continuing to feed, making it a simple but effective survival response. 📹 Masatsugu Toyota

When the mimosa pudica plant is stimulated by heat, wind, or touch, its leaves will droop or fold inward for a few minutes, almost as if it's playing dead. The leaves also close in the darkness and reopen when it's light. 🍀🌿

holy shit!! scientists just discovered that these bees are playing the shit out of their toys! we’re not sure why exactly they do this, but the leading theory at this time is that aggressive/high intensity play acts as a means of relieving stress during the spring and summer, when hive activity is at its peak (long bee hours, nagging bee wife, etc…) do you think this could be applied to our more complex human lives? let us know in the comments!

I don't think this is going to end soon they can lock lads up but there are many more to take their place it seems, I see the heavy plant is being used now. I suspect this is not going to end well sadly.

Many people ask me why Russia is not reacting to Zelensky's latest attacks. BBC, CNN, ZDF, and other media outlets are all portraying it as if Zelensky is even "bombing" Siberia. "Why is there no response from Putin?" many ask. "Putin MUST attack Zelensky from Belarus. When will the nukes come?" But this is exactly what Zelensky and NATO want. They want Moscow to react today, before the harsh winter arrives. Ursula and Zelensky know that winter is one of Russia's greatest allies. I think Moscow will continue these salami attacks, pursuing a strategy of exhaustion and attrition.

The Sphynx is a cat breed best known for its lack of fur. This hairless trait comes from a genetic mutation, which was later developed through selective breeding beginning in the 1960s.

Student finance was sold as a loan. But for so many, it now works like an extra tax on work. Less money to spend. Less ability to save. Less room to take risks. That is not fair.

The Oxford comma (also known as the 'serial comma') is the comma that separates the second to last item in a list from a final item that is introduced by 'and' or 'or.' It is optional...but be aware that not using the serial comma can result in some ambiguity.

Signed collection of prints available from my website from just £9 each. *NOW AVAILABLE IN 4 SIZES* Framed options now available. Many people believe that a visit from a Robin is a sign that a lost relative is visiting them, in the spiritual world Robins are viewed as a symbol of visits from our deceased loved ones. The Robin also symbolises new beginnings and life, and is also looked upon by many as a sign of fortune and good luck. The Robin has been known as a spirit animal for a long time and many people believe that you should not ignore the message it brings you. But is this all just in the mind’s eye? In the eye of the beholder? Is it merely coincidence or is it a subconscious human effort to find hope and comfort in a time of loss, loneliness or desperation? Whatever your view or opinion this gift of nature has a way of presenting itself spirituality at exactly the right time for many. ♥️ #art #interiordesign #homedeco #Interiors #ArtistOnX #artforsale #painting #family

Hezbollah struck a church in southern Lebanon. Then it attempted to blame Israel. The damage to a Christian religious site is not an isolated incident. It is the policy of a terrorist organization that operates from populated areas and endangers all segments of Lebanese society regardless of religion, sect, or community. As Iran's most powerful proxy, Hezbollah advances Tehran's interests at the expense of the Lebanese people. It uses Lebanese territory and its population as shields for its military operations. Hezbollah: Iran's proxy. Lebanon's tragedy. Israel's threat. 📷 Israel Defense Forces / Israel-Alma

Many people wonder why #Kaspa is not already much bigger and better known if it is so revolutionary. From my point of view, this is quite clear and there are several reasons: - First, $KAS is a project without a big company in the background that uses its money and connections to promote Kaspa everywhere with millions of dollars and pay for big Cex listings. - Also, innovations don't always have it easy in the beginning as they first have to prove themselves and convince critics/doubters. - In addition, developments in all projects take a long time and their effects only become apparent at a late stage. - Last but not least, the reorientation of big players sometimes takes quite a long time. I am fully convinced that Kaspa's path will be incredible and that the whole world will benefit from this ingenious technology, directly or indirectly.

Another explanation for Oumuamua's unusual shape has been proposed The asteroid Oumuamua, which flew through the Solar System in 2017, amazed scientists with its unprecedentedly elongated shape. It is 230 meters long and about 35 meters wide. Astronomers have never seen such objects before and tried to explain its origin. Oumuamua is the first known object to arrive from interstellar space. Its trajectory and speed left no doubt that it does not belong to the Solar System. The object rotated around its axis, changing its brightness, which made it possible to determine its size.
