MPAs only partly offset decades of human impacts on tropical reefs
Protecting more while continuing business as usual will just slow the decline 🐟📉 !
Check our latest paper in @natecoevo.nature.com with @uflandrin.bsky.social on 2800+ reefs & ~1700 🐠 species

The greenness of the Earth’s terrestrial vegetation changes throughout the seasons. Researchers can calculate the global “green centre” and track its movement over several decades. They have observed a gradual shift towards the north-east. By Ida Flik. https://greenwave.earth/
🌍 The earth’s green is increasing and its centre is moving north-east. Vegetational shift to the north is even stronger in the southern summer – surprising new facet of #globalgreening 🌱 Published in PNAS

Earth's largest land animals are limited by salt.
Sodium availability constrains the density and distribution of elephants, giraffes and rhinos across Africa, and offers a new explanation for the so-called 'missing megaherbivores'.

Clam shells sound warning of Atlantic ‘tipping point'.
New research from @exeter.ac.uk using centuries-old clam shells has found signs that key Atlantic Ocean currents may be losing stability.

Meet Grimpoteuthis discoveryi, a Dumbo octopus! 🐙💫
Found up to 4,870 m in the NE Atlantic, it glides on ear‑like fins.
It feeds on worms & crustaceans & helps transfer energy through deep‑sea food webs.
Its fragile world face future threats from deep-sea mining ⚠️🌊⛏️

Is there a global pattern in our planet's chemistry consistent with life? Looking at our atmosphere, Mars, Venus, and interstellar space, we found that Earth follows the same architecture as a living cell, while the others do not. Would this be used as a biosignature? web.archive.org/web/20060113...
A large green pitcher plant with a striped lip and mottled inner surface sits among dense green foliage.
Meet Nepenthes attenboroughii, a giant pitcher plant from the Philippines!
It traps rainwater in its leaves, creating tiny aquatic worlds. These mini-ponds host unique invertebrates—some found nowhere else!
