Super interesting article by @chameauleon.bsky.social.

Meerkats' little cousins, #dwarfmongooses, also battle with hot temperatures. Work led by @laurenvane.bsky.social shows how they gain less body mass on particularly hot days due to limited behavioural plasticity: doi.org/10.1002/ece3...

Lovely piece on how meerkats deal with climate change by @chameauleon.bsky.social in National Geographic: www.nationalgeographic.com/animals/arti... I had the pleasure to chat with Camille about the importance of understanding how extreme heat changes food availability 🐛 for meerkats

Why matriarchs reign supreme in the meerkat world

As a corner of Africa heats up, new research shows how the future of the species rests with powerful matriarchs making tough choices for survival.

Trump thinks immigrants will destroy Europe. The truth is the opposite.
This column is about the long arc of population change, the hybridity of European cultures, and the widely-misinterpreted results of demographic momentum.
Big issues we need to understand.

The facts are stark: Europe must open the door to migrants, or face its own extinction | George Monbiot

These are the facts: plummeting birth rates mean that without attracting immigration, many countries are sliding towards collapse, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

...Orcas use dolphins to increase their chances of locating salmon; dolphins gain protection from predators and feast on bite-sized salmon scraps. Dolphins have even been seen tossing salmon to orcas to break it into more manageable pieces: wapo.st/4aJuZeE (gift). 🌎

Video shows orcas and dolphins teaming up to hunt more efficiently

Scientists say the aquatic allies were observed apparently relying on one another to find prized prey: large adult Chinook salmon.

#biologging #research is booming - but do #loggers actually impact the birds? Yes, they do - depending on the mass and attachment location. If you work with biologging, you should read our latest publication seapop.no/en/2025/11/l...

Loggers attached to birds can affect foraging behaviour

Loggers have become a central part of research on seabirds and other groups of animals over the past 20 years. In seabird research, loggers provide very useful documentation of diving behaviour…

Are you involved in ecological forecasting in Europe?
We’re mapping forecasting applications across the continent — from SDMs to observatories with predictive potential.
Our goal: make EU forecasting more connected and identify both immediate and long-term forecasting potential.

While this has serious conservation implications for urban bats, I can't help but be amazed by the rats' dexterity and adaptability.

A technology feature in Nature describes how ‘digital twins’ of real-world objects are moving from manufacturing to wildlife management and how it’s helping ecologists, including predicting migration patterns. 🧪

Plants may seem to do well under anthropogenic land use, but add climate change to the mix of stressors and it becomes clear that many species are hanging in by a thin thread
