With increasing water levels, birds that lost nests to floods nest higher or farther inland the next year—a glimpse of natural foresight? Wildlife will find its own ways to climate adaptation. Will we?

#SciArtSeptember Day 27: Bounded
Oases form where groundwater reaches the surface, creating "islands" of other lifeforms bounded by desert. They're critical refuges for some migratory species. I'd love to see one/be in one, one day—have you?

At first I thought the Monarch butterflies flew tirelessly until reaching their overwintering grounds, but since finishing this drawing and looking it up I've learned they do take breaks. But still, +100km a day for a total of 4000 km?! Tireless!

Tree rings record annual growth in temperate zones, letting dendrochronologists date age and even climate events. Tropical trees often lack clear seasonal rings though, making age estimates trickier, but not impossible.

#SciArtSeptember Day 23: Scouting
In many ant species, a lone or couple of lone scouts go out in search for food before recruiting the whole colony, leaving a pheromone trace along the way to find it again and to later "guide the crew".

Wildlife is both brutal and beautiful, yet full of surprising partnerships. From mutualism to simple coexistence, we can take inspiration from these relationships and remind ourselves that collaboration takes us further, too.
