When a collaborator is targeted because her scientific findings that attribute extreme weather to human-caused climate change is being used (effectively) in climate lawsuits against oil companies, you know times are dark indeed.

Beavers boost bats! Beaver ponds had higher bat richness (4→5 spp/night), 1.6× activity, and 2.3× feeding vs. controls. Structural changes (standing deadwood, more heterogeneous canopy) and more prey help explain why:

Habitat heterogeneity and food availability in beaver‐engineered streams foster bat richness, activity and feeding
Beavers reshape ecosystems in ways that benefit bat richness, activity and feeding activity. We linked increased habitat structures (standing deadwood and canopy heterogeneity) and prey abundance to ...

Alien plants and novel ecosystems in the Greater Tropics - Nature Reviews Biodiversity
The Greater Tropics are under substantial ecological pressure driven by anthropogenic change, including the introduction of alien plants. This Review explores the pattern of alien plant invasions and their effects on ecosystems across the Greater Tropics, as well as potential avenues for ecosystem recovery and resilience.

Why did some #megafauna survive? 🦣🦘🦌
Our new study shows #extinction risk was higher for larger, flat-footed, island species— and lower for those closely related to tropical African/Asian fauna, likely filtered by earlier human impacts 👣🍖

The decline of large seed-dispersing animals has serious implications for trees and other flora.
It's also further proof of how very short-sighted it is to view forests as merely bunches of trees, rather than the complex *ecosystems* they are (or at least, should be).

Autism is a natural divergence from neurotypicality. It's normal & not the tragedy these clowns are making it out to be.
Transness is a natural divergence from cisnormativity. It's normal & not the tragedy these clowns are making it out to be.
Just deal with people being different than you.
