This Agami Heron thinks it might have spotted a nice stick for its nest.

So. Many. Sticks.

Geodiversity as a surrogate to inform freshwater fish diversity conservation & management 🐟🧪

Suggests that, to sustain fish diversity, the variability of discharge & waterbody types must be maintained & linkages among geodiversity components preserved ⛰️🌏

Some more Common Tody-Flycatcher. This is the male. His cap is blacker than the female. At @tapirvalley.bsky.social #CostaRica

Had the fantastic opportunity to present some of my PhD research at EGU25 in Vienna. Learnt so much and met some amazing researchers!
Nathan Wells shares his PhD research at #EGU2025, linking Australian native plant diversity to enhanced soil carbon storage. Vital insights for landscape #restoration! 🌱🧪🌏 #SLSL #CurtinUniversity #Soilscience #Soil

To boost the nation’s health, the government’s proposed food strategy must put people over profits
