I am stealing this excellent post in celebration of #InternationalOwlAwarenessDay, and of the goddess Athene, in whose honour the Little Owl (Athene noctua) is named. @edithmayhall, @DrGinaMay got any good pots to celebrate?.
Fun fact. The Greek one euro coin of today is adorned by the same motif as the silver tetradrachm of Athens from the period 425-400 BCE.

Excellent news, showing the importance of genetic diversity, the third pillar of biodiversity. This study of developing resistance to ash dieback is "the most detailed genetic picture of evolution in action ever obtained in the wild".
