Niederlage & Sieg zugleich: Das OLG Hamm wies die Klimaklage eines peruanischen Bauern gegen RWE ab, erkannte aber erstmals an, dass Großemittenten grundsätzlich für Klimaschäden haftbar sein können. Klimarechtsexpertin Jannika Jahn erklärt die Hintergründe @mpil.de @maxplancklaw.bsky.social

Tiere können sehr erfinderisch sein: Schimpansen, Kakadus oder Krähen etwa verwenden gezielt Werkzeuge, um an Nahrung zu kommen. Manche von ihnen basteln die Werkzeuge sogar selbst – und kombinieren sie gezielt. https://science.orf.at/stories/3230369/

Wichtiger thread zu #Wienwahl & #Klima. Wie so oft: Maßnahmen zum #Klimaschutz helfen nicht nur dem Klima, sondern haben direkte positive Wirkung:

🟩 Niedrigere Heizkosten
🟩 Gesündere Mobilität per Rad & zu Fuss
🟩 Schönere & leisere Innenstadt
🟩 Bessere Luft

Mit dem Wiener Klimagesetz hat die Stadt das Ziel, bis 2040 klimaneutral zu werden, in Gesetz gegossen. Anlässlich der #WienWahl haben wir klimapolitischen Herausforderungen und Hebel in Wien analysiert – und uns angeschaut, was die Wiener die Bevölkerung und Unternehmen davon halten. 🧵 1/

1. Does research by @caraocobock.bsky.social & others, widely reported in SciAm & elsewhere, finally dispel hunter-gatherer myths that have persisted since the 60's?

These are 5 autumn migration routes travelled by the same common tern. He’s not the only one showing such flexibility, and it pays, because in our new paper, published by @royalsocietypublishing.org, we show that route flexibility is associated with minimized headwind exposure: tinyurl.com/4dawhwzj

😲 Did you know that #forests are turning from carbon sinks to carbon emitters?

🌳On International #ForestDay 2025, we need to reflect on the state of this ecosystem in Europe, and its crucial role in the fight against the climate crisis.

Great news for the Critically Endangered African Penguin! 🐧

South Africa has agreed to establish no-fishing zones around six major breeding colonies, a huge victory thanks to the relentless efforts of our National Partner @birdlifesa.bsky.social 🌍💙

New on global conservation science:

Steps towards disciplinary diversity&inclusion in conservation organizations:

1 - know your history
2 - understand power dynamics
3 - listen to underrepresented voices

NEW PAPER: Greylag geese adjust their flight initiation distance based on environmental context and show consistent individual differences across years, possibly balancing predator avoidance with energy and opportunity costs.

➡️ https://vist.ly/3mwams5

#ornithology #birds
A greylag goose (Anser anser) lands at a foraging site at Grünau im Almtal, Austria. Photo: Josef Hemetsberger Fig. 1a from the article: Flight initiation distances (FIDs) in response to an approaching human at two sites: the former Konrad Lorenz Research Center (KLF) and Cumberland Wildpark (CWP). Data are separated by the goose's starting posture (open circles = sitting, closed circles = standing), which strongly influenced FID. Mean ± SE FID for approach trials conducted at each site, with data points for each individual trial overlaid. Fig. 2 from the article: Best linear unbiased predictors (BLUPs) from a bivariate generalised linear mixed model showing a positive among-individual correlation between individuals' flight initiation distances in 2022 and in 2023, respectively.
