ok #introduction I'm an #evolutionarybiologist and #behavioralecologist studying how social interactions lead to biodiversity. I'm big on #socialselection, #polymorphism, #color, #genetics and #teaching /course development (queer bio woo!).
My main study organisms are #hummingbirds, especially white-necked jacobins (Florisuga mellivora), which have female polymorphism -- 20% females look like males, while the rest look different. I love them 
@jjinsing Psst, FYI adding alt-text image descriptions would help those with screenreaders enjoy your posts more!
@DDimetrodon Thankyou, I’m aware, I posted this early in my time here before I got the hang of things!
@jjinsing Another tip, then! You can actually add alt-text to old posts by editing the posts, deleting the images, and adding them back in! (Caveat: some apps don't seem to support this function, I use the web interface, YMMV.)
@jjinsing I meant to add that I didn't mean to bother you, I just really loved this post and wanted to boost it, but I try to be as inclusive as possible in my feed so I tend to refrain from boosting posts sans alt-text.
@DDimetrodon No worries, and I share the sentiment. I actually did not realize the extent of the edit feature, so I appreciate the friendly comment. alt-text now added, cheers.
@jjinsing Thank you for being so understanding! 
Yeah, the edit workaround is a bit counterintuitive and doesn't seem commonly known.
