Recently, IUCN declared the Slender Billed Curlew as extinct. The first known global bird extinction from mainland Europe, North Africa and West Asia. 🏡🧪

Reminder: around 1 million plant and animal species are at risk. - IPBES #GlobalAssessment🌍

In Aug-Sep 2020, thousands of migrating birds were found dead in the SW US. Cause? “Compound climate extremes” had pounded the birds until they expired. Climate change increases the threats migrating birds face: heatwaves, storms, droughts, wildfires, etc.: therevelator.org/weather-whip... #birds 🌎

£8mill raised so far - one year left to raise the rest.* This is truly the project to rattle the bucket for - a real chance for positive change for UK Wildlife.

*£22mill's a single night's TV fund-raising - IT CAN BE DONE. @patrickbarkham.bsky.social's great action on similar projects prove it.

Good morning everyone. Today in "One day, one paper", apex predators like cougars and wolves adjust hunting strategies based on snow depth and density, maximizing their advantage over ungulate prey. Climate change may disrupt these key ecological dynamics 🌎
Apex predators exploit advantageous snow conditions across hunting modes
Advantageous snow conditions—in terms of snow depth and density—are among the most important features of the winter landscape for two apex predators, regardless of hunting strategy. In a warming clim...

What does it take to eradicate ferrets from an inhabited island? @davidgtosh.bsky.social shares the story of the LIFE Raft project on Rathlin Island - from wireless trap technology and ethical considerations to community relationships and why these projects cost so much. 🌍 🦤🧪🦊🪶

It's my birthday! As a gift, can I ask you to share my art?🙏

I love drawing vibrant fantasy illustrations, especially in the field of TTRPGs. And speaking of TTRPGs, check out the post below for more fantasy goodness ⬇️✨
Illustration of Mollymauk Tealeaf from Critical Role's the Mighty Nein. Molly is sitting and smiling at some shiny moths that are playfully surrounding him. Around him there is an art nouveau inspired arched frame. Illustration of Caduceus Clasy from Critical Role's the Mighty Nein. Caduceus is sitting with a serene expression, playing with some golden butterflies surrounding him. Around him there is an art nouveau inspired arched frame. Illustration of a blue-skinned character with asymmetrical horns, reminiscent of a half moon. The character is casting a pearlescent, bright spell. They're in a room at night, standing on a decorated pedestal on the floor, in front of shelves full of books. Illustration of a knight and a pegasus, behind them a blue sky with golden sunset clouds. The knight is wearing shining, ceremonial armour in silver, blue and gold. In one hand he holds his helmet, the other hand is stroking the nose of the pegasus. The knight’s head rests delicately on the horse’s, in a gesture of delicate friendship. The pegasus is raising one of his wings to hug the knight in return of the gesture.

Highly generalised feeding by insect herbivores is often seen as a paradox. One possibility is that generalist species are really just made up of lots of hidden specialists. In this case generalism goes all the way down. 🧪🌏
