Scientists issue warning after observing alarming shift in great white sharks. 🦈 🇿🇦 The finger points toward both human & natural threats. While orcas may be targeting them, shark nets and fishers have been slaughtering great white sharks for decades. thecooldown.com/outdoors/gre...

The "great whale conveyer belt" that transports nitrogen, carbon, and biomass from high latitude feeding grounds to concentrated low latitude breeding grounds in gray, humpback, and right whales. Lovely figure by A. Boersma doi.org/10.1038/s414...

Historically, white sharks sat at the top of the food web, keeping Cape fur seals and sevengill sharks in check. Now that white sharks have disappeared… Seals & sevengills have increased in abundance. Small schooling fish & benthic sharks are declining. www.frontiersin.org/journals/mar...

How desperate are predatory scientific journals today? I got this message today from the publishers of MDPI journals. (My expertise is not in the field of "psychoactive" drugs and I don't think my writings are hallucinatory.)

www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... “…Urban found that we can expect, with increased certainty, that rising temperatures will lead to an increasing number of extinctions, with the highest emission scenario leading to extinction of nearly 1/3 of the Earth’s species”
