Iceland—previously the only Arctic nation without mosquitoes—no longer holds that distinction. "The detection of mosquitoes just north of Reykjavík in 2025 reflects an ecological shift already underway," write Amanda M. Koltz and Lauren E. Culler in a new #ScienceEditorial. https://scim.ag/4tg86pJ

Had a blast writing about the Amazon molly, a truly odd little fish that has defied evolutionary odds by reproducing asexually for at least 100,000 years. My latest for @science.org:

Proud to say I got to play a small part in this project. Great to see school districts stepping up and doing their part in the climate crisis.

So many cool native species to find. Definitely earned a few @inaturalist.bsky.social badges this weekend.

Plants with no chlorophyll, no leaves, and a root system they abandon. Dodders definitely don’t fit neatly into what makes a plant a plant.
