A pretty mosaic? Actually 403 bits of plastic removed from the stomach of a dead shearwater chick. Startling new research using proteomics suggests multi-organ dysfunction is linked with plastic exposure. #plastics #birds #health #wildlife www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Weather radars continuously register the movements of billions of animals in the air! We have now published datasets covering large parts of Europe, providing an overview of the aerial habitat in a way no other method can. Data is available on Alofdata.eu , see our blogpost: go.nature.com/3F0wQ0L

Do Large Language Models (LLMs) possess ecological knowledge? For example, can they do tasks such as: (1) predict the presence of species at a location (2) generate range maps (3) list critically endangered species (4) perform threat assessment (5) estimate species traits

Some more good news for the Sentinel-2 mission! Sentinel-2A, which recently retired, has been given a temporary extension, where it will support S2B and S2C to provide additional data. Lots of hard work behind the scenes to make this happen. Glad to see it! sentinels.copernicus.eu/web/sentinel...

Today, the Sentinel-2C spacecraft will take over from S2A in providing operational data. This is wonderful news, and will ensure continuity of the Sentinel data for many years to come. Great effort from the S2C commissioning team! See here for more info: sentinels.copernicus.eu/web/sentinel...

NEW: 2024 has just been confirmed as the warmest year on record, and the first to breach the 1.5C threshold. We used a ridgeline (Joy Division inspired) chart to visualise daily temperature anomalies since 1940. 2024 clearly stands out with 100% of its days above 1.3C and 75% above 1.5C.
