The Titan of Lightning
randomly looked up black tupelo and realized i live on the very edge of its range. it's native to a very large region for sure but it still doesn't exist in the majority of the world (unless it's a popular ornamental idk). fun to recognize that staples of your own life are not nearly universal

In love with these Crane Wizard Monks I feel compelled to draw sometime, unless you beat me to it.
Found in an issue of RSPB Magazine: "Carers dressed as Cranes take part in a predator aversion training exercise."

I wish we, like, regulated shit nowadays. Between car bloat, blinding headlines, and neighbourhoods packed with rental suites but no on-property parking, driving is an absolute nightmare now.
Nearly all drivers say vehicles' lights are too bright in study

"But there is a humility to using gar as a yardstick, as these are long-lived animals. You do not rebuild a century-fish’s prospects in a single season. That is why the team keeps returning, and why this story is still being written."

Is this wolf using a tool to get a seafood snack? Or does it not count, because the animal didn't construct the trap itself? @phiejacobs.bsky.social dives into that debate, plus more of the best from @science.org and science in this edition of #ScienceAdviser: www.science.org/content/arti... 🧪

Micrargus herbigradus palp, taken using the new 'washer on a slide' method - dab of gel, palp, topped up with alcohol. Much clearer, you can't see the gel, and the 'curly appendage' that makes it herbigradus is visible amongst the curls of the embolus. This is slightly enhanced in GIMP.

This morning, there was a public hearing at Bessemer City Hall in Alabama to discuss the zoning of a new data center, which would likely cause the extinction of a newly-discovered small endemic fish, the Birmingham Darter. Best of luck to the fish people. abc3340.com/news/abc-334...

a cool thing that happened is ppl destroyed a remnant prairie at Rockford Airport. While the rusty-patch bumblebee foraged there, there was no proof it *nested* there. So 💥
Publications only had proof they nested in forests
This paper would have saved the prairie

Prairie and edge habitats provide valuable nesting resources for bumble bees (Bombus) in the midwestern U.S - Apidologie
Bumble bees use three main habitats to complete their life cycle: foraging habitat, overwintering habitat, and nesting habitat. Overall, the majority of bumble bee research has focused on the foraging...

Focusing on ecological processes offers an adaptive approach to conservation at a time of rapid environmental change
But how do we measure & conserve these processes?
This PhD will explore the use of species traits to assess ecosystem condition

Getting a cover issue would've been a formative experience for an artist or a photographer. Instead we're impeding someone's career using slop art.
