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.
Where are those for whom £30m is small change? Anyway, here in the real world, please donate if you can. @the-wildlifetrusts.bsky.social

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...

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. 🧪🌏
