Great to finally see it out! I have to admit that I'm loving and excited to work with polar scientists! Congrats to the authors! Now, can I call myself a polar illustrator...? 🤔
Incidentally, the very nice schematic of cryosphere changes over both ice sheets was drawn by @jmalumbresolarte.bsky.social Tak! 🙏

The Greenlandification of Antarctica | Nature Geoscience
Climate and ice sheet processes in Antarctica increasingly reflect those observed earlier in Greenland. Applying process insights from Greenland can improve projections of future Antarctic ice and climate behaviour.

Why do female spiders eat their mates, and how do males fight back? 🕷️ Our new review unpacks the evolutionary dynamics of sexual cannibalism and the astonishing male strategies it has shaped — from nuptial gifts to remote copulation. Open access in Integrative Zoology 👉 doi.org/10.1111/1749...
Unravelling Evolutionary Dynamics of Female Sexual Cannibalism and Male Reproductive Strategies in Spiders
Sexual cannibalism (SC), where one mating partner consumes the other in the context of mating, is especially prevalent among spiders. However, the evolution of SC in spiders is still not fully unders...

Biophobias—fear of nature’s elements—don’t just impact mental health. They ripple through wildlife and public health, ecosystems & culture. We argue: it's time to frame biophobias as a One Health issue, tackling them with integrated solutions.

Subterranean ecosystems are key to water, climate, biodiversity & more. But to what extent?
A @ecoevorxiv.bsky.social preprint led by @biodiversa.eu DarCo shows they contribute to 75% of classified ecosystem services by CICES:
