A prototype of the Rosalind Franklin Mars rover from the European Space Agency is displayed below the skeleton of a blue whale named Hope in the Hintze Hall of the Natural History Museum. The museum’s new exhibition – Space: Could Life Exist Beyond Earth? – will allow visitors to touch and hold real pieces of the moon, Mars and meteorites, as well as see groundbreaking pieces of technology such as this prototype Martian vehicle.

Team looked at whale urine and ecological benefits it provides, distributing key nutrients over thousands of miles during migrations. “coastal areas often have clear waters, a sign of low nitrogen, and many have coral reef ecosystems,” said Roman. “movement of nitrogen and other nutrients can be important to the growth of phytoplankton, or microscopic algae, and provide food for sharks and other fish and many invertebrates.”

#Humpback #Whale Song Follows #ZipfsLaw, A Fundamental Law Of Human #Language
And some #whales exhibit Menzerath’s law even more strongly than humans.
#MenzerathsLaw and Zipf’s focus on this kind of streamlining. Menzerath’s is all about how longer words or vocalizations are more efficient if made up of shorter elements (like syllables or notes), while Zipf’s law states that common and shorter elements will be used more often in efficient language than longer, rarer ones.
