En route to Klaipeda no flying. 6 countries, 11 trains, 1 bus & 1 ferry. Come join us on Monday for the #ICESASC25 session on marine biodiversity and ecosystem services. How can we co-exist successfully with nature?

Caught between joy at the high quality scientific investigation and sadness at the benthic devastation that's unfolded over on the North American Atlantic coast. Sometimes I wish ecological theory was just theory. #trophiccascade #regimeshift www.biographic.com/unmasking-th...

Mollusc of the year 2025 - the Dorado octopus Muuscoptopus, which likes to hang out near deep-sea hydrothermal vents. What a beauty! Senckenberg will now sequence its entire genome moty.senckenberg.science/en/

European work travel is possible by train, bus and ferry. I've been living this for a couple of years; it takes extra effort and time - and frustratingly it's often more expensive - but the rewards are many. Try it, you might get to love it! 🌲🌊🚉⛴🚶🏻‍♀️

About 5 years in the making: (there really is) limited evidence on the impacts of #windfarms on #fisheries species. Wind is a solution to the climate crisis, but we also need food security. These are tough, complex choices and we need evidence to support them. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/toc/14672979...

What to have as my first post after the jump-ship from the angry place? How about a little bit of positivity? 🌲🦋🥀 www.theguardian.com/environment/...
