This week’s CMOR photo is from Golden Valley, North Dakota.
“Time lapse picture of Ueckert Dam from 2022- 2026 all pictures taken with a month of each other showing water level and spring thaw time. Lowest water level that we've seen in the dam since March of 2022 coming off the 2021 drought prior to the spring blizzards.”

Humans and animals have the same #taste in animal #matingCalls
In a gamified #citizenScience experiment, #humans showed preferences for calls animals find the most attractive

The bright colors of butterfly wings, the sweet aromas of flowers and the euphonious melodies of songbirds all evolved as signals that help individuals propagate, yet humans also find these very same signals pleasing to their own senses. In a study published today, Mar. 19, in Science, scientists from the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute (STRI) collaborated with researchers in U.S., Canada, and New Zealand to show that humans and animals not only express the same subjective preferences for one type of signal—particular animal mating calls. In addition, across the range and complexity of the animal sounds found in nature, humans and animals show overlapping preferences for certain qualities of an animal’s call. These findings indicate that preferences for some animal sounds are more universal than previously known.

Nix für mich Heuschnupfer, ich bin ein schlechter Riecher.
Aber für Leute mit guter Nase gibt's ein neues Experiment zum Mitmachen:
Duft incognita
https://floraincognita.de/duft-incognita/
Jetzt freigeschaltet in der beliebten Pflanzenbestimmungs App #floraincognita
Ihr dürft Eure Gänseblümchen oder andere Blumen beschnuppern und versuchen den Duft zu beschreiben, bisher gibt es wohl wenig Daten darüber wie unterschiedlich Menschen Dinge riechen.
