Our devastation of nature is so extreme that reversing even a small part of it requires painstaking efforts. A scientist’s attempt to try to save one endangered ibis species demonstrates how dire the situation has become.
The Long Flight to Teach an Endangered Ibis Species to Migrate
Our devastation of nature is so extreme that reversing even a small part of it requires painstaking, quixotic efforts.

Global engineering effects of soil invertebrates on ecosystem functions - Nature
A meta-analysis of more than 1,000 studies reveals the global ecosystem functions provided by termites, ants and earthworms as they improve soil quality by making biogenic structures such as termite mounds, ant hills and earthworm casts.

Super Sunday. Good day for Football. Bad day for Chickens.
Indeed, every day is a bad day for Chickens. While you gnosh on wings today I offer this annual reminder that in the US, we lay, hatch, grow, slaughter, bring to market, buy, cook, and eat, one million chickens per hour.

Did butterflies invent the solar panel? A few springs ago, I saw this marble butterfly (Euchloe sp.) land on the desert floor, then tilt its wings at an angle exactly perpendicular to the sun - like a motorized solar array - to efficiently warm up on a chilly morning (Mojave Desert, California). 🐙🌿

An estimated 1.5 billion people—roughly one in every five human beings—speak English, making it the most widely used language in the history of humanity. Some researchers worry about what we’re losing with its expansion.
How Much Does Our Language Shape Our Thinking?
English continues to expand into diverse regions around the world. The question is whether humanity will be homogenized as a result.
