Here's some Theo #cat tax
I understand the argument for corporate vs personal responsibility, but acknowledging the role of corporations and government in the climate issue does not negate the role of individual choices.
It feels like there's still such an incredible disconnect in the conservation community of the impacts of flying.
Somebody I work for has taken or is planning on multiple international trips this year (conferences, AGMs, and personal). And I'm here like... Do we not care to reduce our impacts?
Thirty, flirty, & still getting ID'd
Oh I am so excited for this one!
I could listen to plant nerds all day- ranting & raving about the characteristics of bracts and erupting inflorescence in juncus? Sign me right the heck up

I love conifers year round, but I especially love them in the winter. Standing amongst the older hemlocks in this park always quiets my mind & encourages me to listen for the whispers of a snowy forest.
Took a much needed walk to soothe my spirit a bit today. Not another human soul in sight; I paused often just to listen to the beech leaves shivering, chickadees singing, and some wild turkeys gobbling in the distance.
Spent sunset down by the water. My face hurt, but it was good for my soul.
The Telepathy Tapes has interested some of my friends & I was looking for a way to explain issues with it.
I'm really grateful for McGill and it's Office for Science and Society for just being so good about laying out the issues with assumptions, poor replicability, & study design. #stayskeptical
Monarch Butterfly conservation has to be a continental effort that crosses jurisdictional boundaries, seeing as these migratory species don't understand our silly borders.
Canada listed in 2023; our southern neighbours have done a lot for Monarch, this is a natural next step 🌿
Genuinely so excited these peeps are on Bluesky now, one of the only reasons I hopped onto the dark side was to keep updated about these talks 🥹
Graphical abstract of science paper 'bumble bee damage plant leaves and accelerate flower production' with a list of the authors on a grey background. On the left is a watercolour illustration of a bumble bee damaging a plant leaf with the description 'when hungry for pollen, bumble bees use their mouthparts and mandibles to damage plant leaves'. this illustration is connected by a orange arrow to a watercolour drawing of a flowering yellow black mustard plant with a bumble bee. This has the description: 2) the damage inflicted by bees causes plants to flower earlier than paired control plants.
🌟 Throwback to my 2020 research published in @science.org 🌼🐝 We showed how bumble bees actively shape their environment—making plants flower earlier to meet their needs. Nature’s engineers in action! 🧪🌏
Sharing this for anyone who missed it—let’s dive in! [1/17] 👇
Would love to hear more about those talks with the region! & have you heard of The Meadoway by TRCA? It's a great project.
Good news is I've been in talks with some municipalities that are deep in the planning & application process for this work! So there's stuff headed in the right direction 🌿
The photo features a yellow and green field of goldenrod flowers in the forefront, framed with some green shrubs to the right. In the mid and background, two tall towers stand silhouetted against a cloudy sky at sunset.
Utility corridors (commonly known as hydro corridors here in Ontario) are really neat opportunities for restoration of larger, linear tracts of habitat in urban areas. Missing this field of #goldenrod from one such restoration #solidago #nativeplants #restoration #ecology
This is SO cool, thank you for sharing!
Not yet; still working my way around this app. If you come across any, please share!
Oh neat, thanks for letting us know! Definitely a feed to check out
The posterior of a yellow and black striped pollinator, the Margined Calligrapher (probably), a hover fly atop a Sweet Oxeye flower. The image has many shades of yellow and greens, with the wasp/bee mimicking fly on the flower in-focus in the foreground and a blurred background.
Hi folks, figured I'd do a quick intro here: my name's Vicky and I currently work on restoring/creating meadow habitat in rights-of-way in Ontario. Hopefully starting a PhD within the year in this field- stay tuned! Enjoy cat, grassland, & pollinator pics in the meantime.
An image filled with vegetation. Big Bluestem and Bushclover take the foreground, with various deciduous shrubs and trees in the background. The sun sits low over the treeline.
Just thinking about the magic of the savanna while stuck inside nbd
Had a good time seeding some (read:2ha by hand broadcast) meadow habitat on a farm in the Peterborough area this past week- looking forward to seeing what pops up in the next few years 🌿 #ecologicalrestoration #meadow #grassland #pollinators
The native seed sowing set up tonight. First year using soil blocks; looking forward to seeing how they help with root development (and less pot chaos) #nativeplants #gardening #nativeseeds #ontario
So I got a long time want of mine today at the CNE: a pair of insect-adorned leggings. Can't identify them all; if any #entomologist or #bugenthusiast wants to help out, I'm all (virtual) ears!
Spending some quality, leashed time outside #LadyClara #catsofBluesky
