Scientists in Thailand discovered a new spider species, Damarchus inazuma, exhibiting bilateral gynandromorphism, with one half female and the other male, providing rare insights into sexual development and diversity in arachnids.
A rare bilateral gynandromorph green honeycreeper, displaying female plumage on one side and male plumage on the other, was spotted on a farm in Colombia by evolutionary biologist Hamish Spencer. This phenomenon, caused by an error during egg cell production in female birds, is poorly understood and has only been documented in a few cases. Colombia's diverse ecosystems make it a paradise for birdwatchers, and this unique sighting adds to the country's reputation as a haven for avian species.
