Over the past 2 weeks, no less than 10 Dutch GPS-#Spoonbills made the crossing from Iberia to Africa. They did so in classic Spoonbill fashion by starting the ocean-crossing near Cadiz, rather than taking the Strait of Gibraltar. 1/2 #ornithology

El gran FRACASO de la Región de Murcia y España: proteger al Mar Menor.

Está visto que nadie plantará los árboles de un Cinturón Verde que proteja al Mar con su bosque. En Región no han probado ni filtros verdes ni biorreactores.

¿Todo era mentira?🌊¿Y la protección?

Todas las playas del Mar Menor son artificiales y de la segunda mitad del siglo XX de una región poco evolucionada de España (para nuestra desgracia).

Como consecuencia, no podemos saber qué demonios metieron bajo la arena en aquel momento.

Ay, Señor, ...¡Qué desesperante todo!

Does tidal marsh #restoration "work", if the goal is bringing back key species AND the trophic interactions that support them? A thousand stable isotope samples later, we have answers! 💯 work by PhD student Megan Pagliaro:

Does tidal marsh restoration lead to the recovery of trophic pathways that support estuarine fishes?

Evaluation of tidal marsh restoration success is typically based on the recovery of habitat size and target species. However, food-web structure may provide valuable insight into ecosystem functionin...

1/3 Las sociedades como la nuestra, que no son eusociales, se sostienen en normas —la moral, la ética, la justicia— que dependen de un mecanismo heredado, en parte innato, en parte cultural: la reputación social. Ese mecanismo, se ha roto recientemente, tanto a escala estatal, como internacional.

La red de túneles que mostraba Israel bajo hospitales u otras infraestructuras para justificar su bombardeo eran falsas, los montajes los hacían con simuladores inventándose túneles incluso copiando el diseño de los mismos en diferentes estructuras.

As I argue in #PlatypusMatters, Australia has the world's best mammals, but is sadly the worst place on Earth to be a mammal, with the planet's worst #extinction rate.
The Christmas Island shrew is now the latest species to be officially declared extinct.

And then there were none: Australia’s only shrew declared extinct

The tally of Australian mammals extinct since 1788 is now 39 species – far more than for any other country

Illustration of two narwhals, also called sea unicorns, depicted lying on an icy shore with a backdrop of snow-covered mountains. Both whales have long, spiral tusks extending from their heads, and their bodies are covered in spots. Small seabirds are flying nearby. The image is a detailed 1843 engraving, labeled "THE NARWHAL OR SEA UNICORN," highlighting the narwhal’s distinctive single tusk that inspired its nickname.

1/🧵 Over the past decade, misinformation in the popular media & the opinion pages of some journals has promoted the claim that concern over species invasions is overblown, because "most invasions do not cause extinctions".

Here is a brief reminder of what scientific evidence shows...
