A creature’s ability to live on stolen chips at the seaside is measured by its gullibility.

More than half the markers for planetary health/habitability are now past their safe zone, and ocean acidification is near the boundary of the safe zone (limit for aragonite saturation, esp. in higher latitudes, esp. in high latitudes).

Here's my amazing fact of the day: birds, bees, bats and belugas all flap their wings/flukes at a rate proportional to the square root of their mass divided by their wing or fin area. Yes, this includes hummingbirds. And bumblebees. And a robotic ornithopter. physicsworld.com/a/simple-equ...
Simple equation predicts how quickly animals flap their wings – Physics World
Relationship between mass, wing area and wingbeat frequency holds true for insects, bats, birds, whales and even a flapping robot
