a whole genome riparian plot from the NCBI Comparative Genome Viewer. Two parallel rows; top labelled for Helicoverpa zea, bottom for Helicoverpa armigera. Each row is divided into 31 Chromosomes. Each chromosome is connected by a lines, which correspond to homologous regions. The connecting lines are green to indicate same-orientation homology, and blue to indicate reverse-orientation homology.

screenshot of text, reading: Science was founded by New York journalist John Michels in 1880 with financial support from Thomas Edison and later from Alexander Graham Bell.[7][8] (Edison received favorable editorial treatment in return, without disclosure of the financial relationship, at a time when his reputation was suffering due to delays producing the promised commercially viable light bulb.)

Heliconius erato demophoon sat on a pink, yellow and white lantana flower. The left side of the butterfly is white, while the right side is the usual black and red, but with some white clonal patches.

screenshot from the website ecoevojobs.net: 1) is McGill a town ?!? 2) it's a really good school.
Screenshot of a Wikipedia article History article with the following text: The protein was discovered in 1996 by Italian scientists Silvia Bione et al., after long and intensive work.[15] Owing to the complex procedure required for the identification of tafazzin, the protein was named after Tafazzi, an Italian comedy character played by Giacomo Poretti who enthusiastically beats his groin with a plastic bottle, this as a symbol of masochism for the strenuous will to find it by the group of researchers.[77]
cartoon representation of the (pro)nuclei at sperm entry, mitosis I, mitosis II, mitosis III and mitosis IV.
green labelling the nuclear envelope, with the paternal pronucleus on the left and maternal pronucleus on the right. Staining of the chromosomes by parent of origin shows that they undergo anaphase without mixing.
a four panel schematic figure. a) shows a sperm entering a Drosophila eg. b) shows the breakdown of the sperm membrane, exposing the pronucleus to the oocyte cytoplasm, and extending an aster c) the sperm pronucleus 'captures' an egg pronucleus, and they come together. d) show sthem in direct apposition.
A Drosophila egg - arrowhead indicates sperm entry site. "male" symbol indicates paternal pronucleus, 'female' symbol indicates the four femaile pronuclei.
Electron micrograph, showing an egg pronucleus (top) and sperm pronucelus (bottom) fusing together via an internuclear bridge.
a sperm entering an egg, and the pronuclei moving together. The polar body nuclei are at the periphery of the egg.
a google search with the text "length of drosophila in mm". The ai result says "1 inch == 25.4 mm". (NB - this is about 10x larger than an actual drosophila).
headline page from the washington post website. Test reads "US sides with russia against ukraine war invasion". The second line reads "washington breaks with europe, refusing to condemn Moscow on third anniversary of invasion". The picture is of the UN general assembly hall.

A laboratory at night. In the centre of the field of view is a black kickstool of the type often used in supermarkets.
Photo of the cover of the book “butterflies of pipeline road”, with the authors Sebastian Mena, Remi Mauxion and Annette Aiello. The cover has a macro photograph of the head of a pierid butterfly
Two pictures of the 70s Swedish Pop group ABBA. They are in two different arrangements in the left picture vs the right picture, leading to a visual pun about the population genetics measure called “ABBA BABA”.
