Honestly, when will unis and other research orgs collectively say enough is enough, and invoice them for all our unpaid labour that drives publishers MASSIVE profits?

Yesterday I saw in #Malaga the Herring #gull of the last week, but a new good candidate for fuscus! An adult bird. Perhaps one day I will see one ringed! : ) #gulls #larusfuscus #rarebirds

Por primera vez desde 1982, Australia no ha registrado ni un solo caso de cáncer de cuello uterino en mujeres menores de 25 años. Un hito sin precedentes gracias al impacto de la vacuna del VPH… y una prueba de lo que se logra cuando no se cede ante los antivacunas.

Outside the train station in Tarragona, thousands upon thousands starlings settling to roost, an exuberance of urban wildness, my video can't do it justice. A woman exclaimed "Walah, quina bellesa, no!" as she walked past. Estornino in Spanish, Estornell in Catalan, Arabazozo in Basque

CITES has failed to protect Anguilla eels, even when the proposed modification of appendices was shy and insufficient
The most threatened Anguilla species must be in CITES Appendix I to avoid any international trade

Of all the wonderful depictions of Pleistocene life shown in Prehistoric Planet: Ice Age, few can compare with the beauty and realism of these psilopterines. I don't think I'm exaggerating to say this is the first and only time terror birds have been done properly in a documentary.
Two psilopterine terror birds squabble over a bit of food, backed by a rocky outcrop. A psilopterine terror bird stands tall above tufts of dry grass, with a calm but ferocious expression on its face.

Con la llegada del frío llegan también las heladas
¿Has oído hablar de este estado atmosférico? ¿Y de las heladas blancas y negras? Os lo explicamos aquí gracias a nuestro meteoglosario visual.
meteoglosario.aemet.es/es/termino/1...
Helada: Cuando la temperatura es de 0 ºC o menor debido a la llegada de aire frío, el enfriamiento nocturno o la evaporación de agua del suelo hacia una masa de aire seca. Tipos de heladas -Heladas blancas: aquellas que generan una capa de escarcha gruesa cuando la humedad es alta. -Heladas negras: no generan la capa de escarcha, pero son muy peligrosas para la vegetación porque se generan cristales de hielo en su estructura interna.
