Unlike chicken eggs, #zebrafish embryos can tolerate a variety of temperatures (18-34°C). The standard rate of development (at 28.5°C) can increase or decrease based on temperature (e.g. ⬇️Temp=⬇️Rate). Although, long term exposure at both extremes can cause developmental defects. #ZebrafishFunFacts 🧪

In a new experimental study, bees unable to reach a nectar reward above them in a confined space (and therefore unable to fly) solved the problem by rolling a ball underneath it and climbing onto top of it. 🤯🧪 www.theguardian.com/environment/...
