Devastated that some eco vandal has uprooted and removed hundreds of native tree & hedgerow species from a wildlife corridor where I have been working with community volunteers for the past couple of months.

Working in ecology in an urban setting can be very rewarding, but there are significant challenges.

Today I feel tired, angry and upset.

Hoping for some better days ahead 🌱

A 12 mm #fish produces 140-decibel sound to communicate in turbid waters https://phys.org/news/2024-02-mm-fish-decibel-communicate-turbid.html

Ultrafast sound production mechanism in one of the smallest #vertebrates: Verity Cook et al. https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2314017121

"Danionella species possess a unique sound-generating apparatus that includes drumming cartilage, a specialized rib, and a fatigue-resistant muscle."

We anthropomorphize animals. Especially the famous ones. We can't seem to help it. 🧪

But when does it help? And when does it HURT? Thoughtful piece by Alice Sun who I got to meet at @sciencewriters.bsky.social https://scienceline.org/2023/09/what-happens-when-wild-animals-become-social-media-sensations/

Pleased to share the latest preprint from the Martin lab @evolvwing. We investigated continuous colour variation in Colias butterflies, and found that few large effect loci explain a large portion of the variation #colsci 1/

We show that #nutrient availability strongly controls insect herbivore biomass when predators are few, but that there is a switch from bottom up to top-down control when predators are common.

Up to the 1980s the Speckled Wood (P aegeria) was confined to a few regions in NL. I expanded from all these regions and now occurs almost everywhere, even in very open areas. #vlindermaand

Fancy getting involved with the @RSPBEngland #BigGardenBirdwatch on 29 Jan? Come join us at #CodyDock to discover the #birds of the lower tidal Lea river in east London.
