It is commonly thought that when farmland is close to a natural habitat it is more likely to attract bees and other pollinators, and that more flowers will develop into seeds and fruit.

But research led by PhD researcher Ennia Bosshard @uniexecec.bsky.social says this is not always the case.
Distance from natural habitat doesn’t reduce pollination in tropical smallholder farms
Being close to a natural habitat such as a forest doesn’t necessarily make farmland more attractive to pollinators, a new study shows.   It is commonly thought that when farmland is close to a natural

Between 2004 and 2011, the sardine stock off west South Africa was consistently below 25% of its peak abundance and this appears to have caused severe food shortage for African penguins, leading to an estimated loss of about 62,000 breeding individuals said Dr Richard Sherley @uniexecec.bsky.social
Penguins ‘starved to death en masse’ as food supply collapsed
Penguins living off the coast of South Africa have likely starved to death en masse during their moulting season as a result of collapsing food supplies. In fact, on two of the most important breeding
