In our new report, based on the data, we suggest that we are hurtling toward climate chaos if trends continue. Thanks are due to my coauthors @michaelemann.bsky.social @petergleick.bsky.social and others. You decide if you agree by reading the paper for yourself here: doi.org/10.1093/bios...

I'm very excited to announce that it was me! 🦈 I'm thrilled to adopt this treasure as part of my collection of intriguing plastic pollution finds! 😇

Can’t recommend this documentary on extreme birdwatching enough: absolutely wild stuff! 🦅 You won’t regret it! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Medieval sandal, from 14th century, found preserved in vultures nest on a cliff in southern Spain, a rough sandal woven from grasses and twigs I'm not saying that vultures might also steal single socks from your laundry basket, but y'know...? www.nationalgeographic.com/animals/arti...

I will forever remember Jane, her inspiring stories and her powerful message of hope, but also her humour, smile and the fun that we had. With a twinkle in her eyes, she once said to me: ‘The chimps would have the time of their lives grooming you’. Best compliment I ever had. 🐵

The anthropogenic glacier collapse currently underway in the Alps has resulted in the disappearance of >1000 small glaciers! 😱🔥 Following the release of Swiss glacier loss numbers today, let me introduce you the now extinct Vadret da Triazza (Eastern Switzerland) ✝️ Via @matthias-huss.bsky.social

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH

Sharing the stage with a co-presenter today 🐦 Delighted to be at the University of Antwerp for the Annual Conference of the Cognition & Behavior Evolution Network, and yes, the coot has its own chair! 🪑

The first Kittiwake chicks of the year and a late starting Herring Gull that has chosen to pitch it's nest on the remains of a lobster pot. #SuperSeabirdSunday #seabirds

[VI] Pitch in Australia not allowed to be used because a bird laid an egg on it. The bird belongs to a protected indigenous species. They have to wait until the egg has been hatched or carefully moved somewhere else. This could be a matter of days, but could take up to a month

So many galaxies, so many stars - yet only one Carl Sagan. Let us do better, humanity: we need more voices of reason, more proponents of awe, more prophets of wonder, and more reasons to feel gratitude for the magnificence of our existence.

Can we stop putting happy faces in news stories about temperature records and heat waves?

In my new book, The Urban Naturalist, I talk about inspiring community scientists like Graham Moates, who used his plastic cleanups to discover that, in the UK, 3 million mammals every year die inside discarded bottles and cans. His paper: lnkd.in/er8u49s8

Using YouTube ads to plant a forest? YES! 🌳 The Australian legend Beau Miles is doing just that, the YouTube forest! He’s already set to plant 1,300 native trees, boosting biodiversity, but I wish him many more! With 5 days left, this could be a great reforestation story for journalists to cover 🌍🧪

"Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us."

"Yes, it is heartbreaking for what this says about the world we humans have made. But I still find wonder in the stories these nests tell about the lives and circumstances of their architects and the deliberate choices they made." Dr. Vanya Rohwer's #naturewriting. #birds #birding #nature

I was today years old when I learned about bird nest fungi!! 🪹🍄 And I’m literally a scientist who studies bird nests... MIND IS BLOWN 🤯

“Sven, bring all those old seabird mounts down from the attic! I HAVE AN IDEA!”

That sequence of music snippets! 🤯🎶 Very impressive video editing and science storytelling from the YouTube channel 'How do they know', created by Adam Cole and Joss Fong. Thank you for covering my research, and high fives to the editor! 🤩👏

NEW PAPER, NEW THREAD! 👀 We collected insects in creeks polluted with raw sewage. 🤢 Microplastics in caddisflies were once rare. But now, in some creeks, more than half of all cases include artificial material! 🤯 A shitty thread on plastics and poop, thankfully, without the smell of it 💩 1/x 🧵👇

Birds on the front lines weave their nests from fiber optics.

Did you know that birds have been using human rubbish in their nests for centuries? 🪹 It’s true - we first see this in a drawing from 1785 of a reed warbler nest containing human-made twine. This behaviour isn’t new - so why is it a problem now?

Need proof that common ravens are really smart? Check out their choice of a beautiful and functional nest spot tucked into the front of the Cathedral of St. John the Divine. Sheltered from the rain, the nest goes unnoticed until an adult flies in with a meal for the three youngsters. #birds

I think this nest might be occupied. When your tail is almost a meter long, it can tough to fit the entire thing in your nest. Male Resplendent Quetzal, Paraiso Quetzal Lodge #CostaRica #birds #nature 🌿
