In situ is a Latin phrase, but it is a pretty common one that I think a lot of people are familiar with, and if not, this could be a good place to learn. There is a Wikipedia article for in situ with a "biology and biomedical engineering" heading that it could be linked to. It can mean a lot to some people, and for those not interested it is a small thing that can be glossed over and ignored. Note the prairie lizard and the greater short-horned lizard were photographed in situ, and they exhibit entirely natural poses and show a relationship with their surroundings (e. g. camouflage). It is subtle and not of interest to everyone, but I think it can meaningful information for many people.

When the issue is a six letter phrase, or an eight digit date, why convey less information for the reader rather than more? WiLaFa (talk) 06:19, 9 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
