After sending an email, I got the following reply:

Yet, eating an icon of my extinction, learned about next door, still feels wrong to me. 🐟🤷‍♂️

Losing large ocean predators When this marlin swam in the Indian Ocean in the late 1800s, the world's seas were teeming with life. But, since industrialised fishing began in the 1950s, the number of large predators such as marlin, tuna and sharks has plummeted by 90%. Scientists at the Natural History Museum are helping to survey huge new protected areas of ocean surrounding British overseas territories. This work supports the United Nations pledge set out in 2023 to protect a third of the world's oceans from overfishing.

Love to get a comment back on a paper that says "The results look fake, and the images of plastics also look like these were created by AI".

We counted each and every piece by hand. I assure you they are not fake.

30年前的麦当劳包装长什么样？鸟巢记得_腾讯新闻 在荷兰阿姆斯特丹的一处游船码头，生物学家发现了一个不同寻常的鸟巢。Auke-Florian Hiemstra在它层层叠叠的筑巢材料中，隐藏着六百余块人类垃圾。这些垃圾的时间跨度竟然长达30年以上，最早的甚至可以追溯到1991年。就像挖掘地层中的化石一样，研究者层层翻开了鸟巢中沉睡的垃圾，从中解读出了一段鸟类与人类生活变迁的历...

On average, scientific papers are only read by a few. So it fills me with joy every time someone takes the time to look at my work! Thanks to @altmetric.com I found out that my research has suddenly been picked up in China! How exciting! 😱🧪

A line in the snow with the impressions of bird wings at both ends of the line. There is a patch of rough snow on the right that looks like clouds.

Several impressions of bird wings on the snow.

Bird created impressions on the snow. It is long and bird shaped with a beak and head on the left and tail feathers on the right. It also kind of looks like a fish.

Bird snow angels🥰 #birds

Thanks, everyone, for thinking along! We figured it out! 😇 When the story comes out, you will be the first to hear about it! 🙏

Who recognises this material? We find it in animal nests, but it seems like an isolation material? It has many differently coloured fibres; it's a strange mix. Who knows more? 🤔🧪 #ecology

In het vogelasiel zie je hoe burgers bijdragen aan de wetenschap: ‘Futenkuikens zijn net Tamagotchi’s’ Het wordt steeds makkelijker voor burgers om de wetenschap te helpen: naast teldagen, natuur-apps en clean-ups zorgen ook dierenopvangcentra voor waardevolle data, bijvoorbeeld over de verspreiding va...

Het wordt steeds makkelijker voor burgers om de wetenschap te helpen: naast teldagen, natuur-apps en clean-ups zorgen dierenopvangcentra voor waardevolle data. Mare ging met bioloog Liselotte Rambonnet naar het vogelasiel waar ze werkt. ‘Gierzwaluwen krekels en wasmotten voeren is echt aanpoten.’

Nest failure due to drone use is a real thing. Please do comment to help birds and other wildlife against an absolutely stupid unnecessary hazard. Honestly, who the fuck needs a drone.

The flightless #kakapo usually nest underground. Yesterday we found the coolest nest I’ve ever seen: Whetu was 3m above ground in a hollow rata tree. #kakapo2026 #conservation #birds

Dat was een betere kop geweest!

Thanks @eos.org for including my research in this article! 🐦🧪

Wat geweldig!

Yessss !!! 🐦

Hahaha 😇

Einstein's Sink - Wikipedia

Here at Leiden University we have the Einstein sink haha

a wintry bridge with bike tracks and footprints in the snow (human shoe, and coot feet).

Snow makes neighbors of us all.

Hi! I’m Auke-Florian and I work on animal architecture. 🪺 I study bird nests and specialise in artificial nesting materials, such as bird nests made from anti-bird spikes! 👀 Would love to be added!

Ongekend prachtig!

Prachtig dit! Wie is de illustrator? 🎨

Now the question is which edition are you reading? 📚
