Wind turbines affect local wind regime, esp. downwind from them. How that affects marine ecosystems, through wind-related features like upwelling, is something we are still learning. But aspects like surface primary productivity seem to be affected. 🧪🌊 Link: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Some people claim that reducing oil/gas production won't help the climate because demand is fixed and other countries will increase production to compensate. A 2024 paper shows this is false: Reducing production reduces emissions by ~half the lifecycle emissions of the oil/gas left in the ground.

After hearing what scientists had learnt about the night parrot in QLD, Indigenous rangers in WA found 22 new parrot sites from 2017–2023, doubling known records and greatly expanding our knowledge of the rare bird. It shows how two-way partnerships strengthen threatened species recovery. #NRW2025

Kelp forests on the coast of Maine are in decline owing to rapid ocean warming and are being replaced by turf algae, which alter the ecosystem’s chemistry, hindering the recovery of kelp forests. Learn more in this week's issue of Science: scim.ag/4dwzl8j

Researchers in Costa Rica found that pig carcasses decomposed twice as fast when vultures had access to them. The absence of vultures led to a doubling of fly populations at carcass sites, which could affect human health, since these flies can carry diseases like botulism and anthrax.

The margay (Leopardus wiedii) looks like what happens if you put an ocelot in the dryer on high. They're smaller than their ocelot cousins in ever way except the eyes, which are larger & even more specialized in nocturnal tree-top hunting. They eat small primates, squirrels. (📷: Supreet Sahoo)

Fascinating study showing importance of memory for ecological resilience. Importance of animal ‘culture’ has been under-estimated since Skinner & Lorenz. Another reason why even an animal genetically identical to a dire wolf would not be a dire wolf.
