Authorities in at least five countries rushed on Sunday to evacuate low-lying areas in preparation for record amounts of rain expected with Hurricane Melissa, which is currently a Category 4 storm moving slowly west in the Caribbean.
Caribbean Braces for Hurricane Melissa
A fast developing storm was expected to bring “unprecedented” amounts of rain to several countries, meteorologists said.

Thinking of Jamaica…what’s coming to them is going to be very difficult
#Melissa is about to undergo rapid intensification (RI). And I anticipate it will be quite explosive. A classic cyan ring on 37 GHz imagery from this GMI overpass at 1447 UTC.

Unique Egg-Laying Behavior Re-Discovered in Culex Mosquito Species
Culex antillummagnorum doesn't lay eggs in a tight group like fellow Culex species. Instead, females hover or perch above pools of water in plants and drop in eggs one at a time.

🐠🔊 What noise does a fish make?
Researchers have developed a new tool that combines 360° video with spatial audio to identify fish by their sounds. The result is the most extensive library of natural fish sounds ever published, including many that have never been identified before.

💥BREAKING: Birds in a tropical pluvial rainforest of the Chocó have been quietly changing in morphology for 109 years. Some have shrunk, others grown. Tails grew longer, bills grew deeper. Even in forests with continuous cover, climate change may be rewriting evolution in real time.
