New evidence suggests that the old 'male lions just eat what the females provide' trope is inocrrect.

New evidence? This is over a decade old

On the timescale of lion evolution, this information literally just came to light.

[-] rickyrigatoni@lemm.ee 45 points 1 month ago

It's new to ME. >:C

[-] Mango@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago

Did you really just direct link a PDF download?

[-] unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de 26 points 1 month ago

Unless your browser is poopy, it should just open the pdf in the browser without saving it as a file.

[-] IcyToes@sh.itjust.works 26 points 1 month ago

When in reality, the browser just downloads it, then opens it.

[-] Eheran@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago

How else should it even be possible? Obviously every browser needs to download it and 100 % too.

[-] workerONE@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

It could put it in a temporary cache that's deleted when you close it

[-] Eheran@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

So it did safe the file...?

[-] unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 1 month ago

Yeah smarty pants obviously it has to download the data, but by default it shouldnt permanently store it as a file in your download folder. Files like this should go into a tmp file or only into RAM.

[-] IcyToes@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 month ago

I'd check if I was you. I think both Chrome and Firefox keep it in downloads folder

[-] Mango@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Yes, obviously. That's what we have a problem with.

[-] unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 month ago

Idk about default Firefox, but both Fennec on Android and Librewolf on Desktop do not permanently save it.

[-] mexicancartel@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 month ago

Downloads it? Yes. Save as a file? No, atleast not permanently

[-] IcyToes@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Yeah, usually in downloads folder for Firefox. I think Chrome is the same.

Except a webpage isn't exactly stored on the computer. JS and CSS files are cached. Images also, but not HTML. So no, not like a web page.

[-] lengau@midwest.social 8 points 1 month ago

By default any HTTP response is cached, including HTML.

[-] Cethin@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 month ago

It has to download any content it shows you, whether that's a web page, pdf, or anything else. It can't just magically know what to display without downloading it. Whether it stores it permanently is another question. Most browsers don't do this. If yours does there's probably a setting for that, or it's just a really bad browser.

[-] Donut@leminal.space 2 points 1 month ago

Firefox mobile downloads it first, then you have to tap "open".

[-] MonkderVierte@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 month ago

MJ PDF is better than pdf.js.

[-] TeryVeneno@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 month ago

This doesn't answer the primary concern though. Do male lions have the same hunt participation rate after being in a pride? All this paper talks about is strategy. Everyone knows male lions hunt, they have to before they get a pride. But what about after? Do they hunt at the same rate? Or just stop altogether?
