...with video recording

So many questions.

Turns out it's real: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/rec.14139

The video recording shows animal behavior. Not the urination lol.

That's probably paywalled.

Dude got caught pissing too close to the campsite and swore it was for science.

[–] JoMomma@lemm.ee 31 points 10 months ago (1 children)

At least it is open access

[–] lady_maria@lemmy.world 27 points 10 months ago

It'd be unethical to gatekeep such important information.

What about feline urine? Since that could have some potential benefit since they’re known predators

[–] Letstakealook@lemm.ee 8 points 10 months ago

They mentioned the availability and scalability of human urine over the urine of other animals.

[–] trolske@feddit.de 6 points 10 months ago

Feline urine has a relatively small effect compared to feline saliva or fur.

No... Don't eat the yellow acorn, mouse bro! 😩

[–] glimse@lemmy.world 17 points 10 months ago (1 children)

No officer, I wasn't pissing on your car. I was doing a scientific experiment with field mice. Uhhh sure, I'll send you a link when I publish it

I was pissing on the acorn on your car.

Shots fired.

My question is (not having a link to follow to avoid wondering) is why acorns need protecting, and why from only that species?

[–] fossilesque@mander.xyz 9 points 10 months ago

I see you've never owned a birdfeeder.

[–] friendly_ghost@beehaw.org 2 points 10 months ago

And to think I almost proposed this research idea for my dissertation. Dodged a bullet there

[–] shiveyarbles@beehaw.org 1 points 10 months ago

Makes it extra yummy
