Adaptive here means whether necrophilia occurs in order to still produce offspring, i.e. it's 'conscious' (I use that term veeeery loosely here) or if it occurs just because the animals don't recognize that the partner is dead.
I remember a paper about a frog species (not sure if it was the one from the meme) where the males participated in necrophilia, but they basically tried to squeeze eggs out of anything they grabbed. Living female, dead female, stone, sponge. All the same.
Damn, I'm getting flasbacks from that. I had to make a presentation whether functional necrophilia in animals is adaptive during my master studies. I had to read so many papers discussing the details. Conclusion: not enough evidence to conclude it's adaptive.
Edit fun fact: in the 1920s there was an Antarctic expedition funded by the British Royal Society. The scientists described necrophilia in emperor penguins (I think), but the Society refused to publish the research to not sully the image of the animals. The paper was finally published some time after 2000.
Darf man jetzt die FDP als Kotnascher bezeichnen?
Warum denn kein dual-use? Also Photovoltaik höher installieren und darunter anpflanzen.

Trigger warnings.
I used to think they are for overly sensitive people, then life happened and now I have my own triggers and would like a trigger warning for certain topics.
A bit of nitpicking, it's not born to a wild cat, but a feral cat.
We do have actual European wild cats, so it's a small but important distinction.
Auch auf Deutsch würde ich eher von einer verwilderten Katze reden, da wir eben richtige Europäische Wildkatzen haben.
It says Jyväskylä University. Jyväskylä is a city in central Finland. The picture is from their research station in Konnevesi.
Ob der extra Feiertag jetzt wirklich nötig ist, ist eine Sache.
Lieber sollte offen über die physischen und psychischen Schäden der Soldaten gesprochen werden, und diese auch ausreichend Unterstützung bekommen.
Manche Deutsche Unis haben auch Postdoc Stellen mit 50% E13 ausgeschrieben.
Die haben den Knall echt nicht gehört.
Name and shame: Goethe Uni Frankfurt
Hier der Link zur Ausschreibung (runterscrollen): https://www.uni-frankfurt.de/47551231/Nichtwissenschaftliche_Mitarbeiter_innen
Die Unis lernen nur, wenn sowas öffentlich angeprangert wird.
