El fitoplancton 🦠 desempeña un papel clave en la regulación del CO₂ atmosférico. 

Sin embargo, la acidificación del agua causada por el exceso de emisiones produce un cambio en el pH que modifica los ecosistemas marinos 🌊

For over 30 years, this striking orange and blue caterpillar's identity was a mystery ... until a few days ago, when a scientist reared the very caterpillar in these photos to adulthood.

Some are squishy, some have shells, all are spectacular — we’re almost to the end of week 4 of our ID-a-thon, and we want your help sorting mollusks! This is a short guide to introduce you to five of the most commonly seen groups of mollusks on iNaturalist. Learn more: tr.ee/identifyweek4 🐌🐙
Grid of 25 mollusk photos with text "HELP US SORT MOLLUSKS" showing snails, slugs, octopuses, clams, and other mollusks.
