This whiptail gulper eel (Saccopharynx lavenbergi) was spotted 880 meters deep in Monterey Canyon back in 1993—one of only 18 sightings in nearly 40 years! 📹️😍 With its massive mouth and glowing tail, this deep-sea icon even inspired MBARI’s logo. Watch here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=3nwD...

High predation pressure on sessile non-indigenous species (mostly ascidians) in the tropics. Amazing video of fish predation.#ICMB2025

Urban trees can lower temps by up to 12°C, but it’s not just about quantity. Species, layout and local climate all play a role in how effective they are. Strategic planting leads to cooler streets, cleaner air and healthier communities, especially in neighborhoods vulnerable to rising temperatures.
Trees are natural ACs for cities, if you plant the right ones
Urban trees are on the rise but researchers are only starting to uncover the best way to cool cities with them

Yale researchers didn't stop there. They also identified what people most need to know to catalyze action and support climate policy; and it's not about global temps, ice sheets, or ocean currents.

What people most need to know about climate change is that (1) others care, and (2) there is hope.
Understanding six “key truths” about climate change predicts policy support, discussion, and political advocacy
Social norms and collective efficacy are strong predictors

🪸Habitat loss triggers a social chain reaction: adult reef fish crowd onto remaining coral, then spill over onto dead coral - and juveniles follow. This study reveals a novel, socially driven “bandwagon effect” that may lead to ecological traps. ➡️ buff.ly/MnxFMFK

Harms of introduced large herbivores outweigh benefits to native biodiversity - Nature Communications
Using impact assessment frameworks, this study shows that the introduction of large mammalian herbivores outside their native range has predominantly caused negative impacts on native biodiversity globally. The authors advise caution regarding their further intentional introduction for conservation purposes.
