#DYK that the IUCN SSC Seahorse, Pipefish & Seadragon Specialist Group (SPS SG) is dedicated to the conservation of seahorses, pipefishes, pipehorses and seadragons— as well as related species such as trumpetfishes, cornetfishes, and shrimpfishes?
Project Seahorse is the host for this specialist group, and our director, Prof. Amanda Vincent, is it's Chair.
@projectseahorse I found the whole website very interesting, a great introduction to the work of an #IUCN#SpecialistGroup - & I enjoyed the glorious images scattered throughout.
This may be the first IUCN entity officially represented on the Fediverse; may others follow! Meanwhile I appreciate the gorgeous photo stream of #EndangeredSpecies from @redlist & look forward to more portraits of #QuirkyFish.
@projectseahorse I’m very glad to learn of the Global #Biodiversity Information Facility (#GBIF), what a resource! & then to discover they’re here on Mastodon: @gbif
@historyshapes@histodons Not the first time I toast bread to make a sandwich and I eat the bread instead. So, eating bread with bread (which, as an Spanish idiom says, is "fools' meal") seems delicious to me...
#DYK#DidYouKnow ?
18th & 19th c. houses didn't always incorporate #storage spaces as part of the #architecture.
An examination of inventories of houses comparable to Montpelier found that bedchamber closets held everything from #fabric to dinnerware to #farm equipment. Larger storage rooms held extra pieces of carpets, seasonal décor & often old pieces of #furniture.
