Decommissioned offshore O&G projects leave behind pipelines & other materials shedding microplastics into the ocean. On the UK continental shelf alone, scientists estimate the abandoned equipment generates around 500 metric tons of microplastics each year. 🌎🧪 www.sciencealert.com/abandoned-oi...

New #ornithology paper out in @royalsocietypublishing.org! We show that female dotterels can move across large distances within a single breeding season in search of mating opportunities, visiting up to five different sites (median: 3) and travelling up to 1000 km between sites (median: 71 km). 1/n

Formula 1 has pledged to hit net-zero emissions by 2030 and the wild part is, building cleaner race cars may be the easy part 🏎️🌍 The bigger problem is all the flights, shipping and travel needed to move F1 around the world. The debate sstarts being about what counts as “zero” emissions.

theconversation.comFormula 1 racing shows the hard part of reaching net-zero carbon emissions isn’t the engineeringMany Formula 1 innovations have made their way from the racetrack to regular roads. But technological improvements can only go so far toward limiting greenhouse gas emissions.

Dung, dung, dungggggg! Did you know dung beetles could fly? Through a combination of wing shape, size & flight strategy, flying organisms (including the dung beetle) can move between and within habitats, but how do different flight strategies affect performance & habitat preference? (1/2) 🌍 🧪

I interviewed biologist and conservationist Inês Pereira from the NGO Quercus, whom I worked with last winter in Portugal. Massive thanks to Inês and to Conservation Careers for publishing the interview!

Took these shots this morning through a rather dirty bedroom window but didn't dare show myself outside. Times like this I'm always reminded just how lucky I am. This is in south central Oregon. Luckier still if he managed to catch a gopher. 📸🦉🌏

Great work! That can help us to measure the problematic invasive species.

A view of Earth from the Artemis mission is a powerful reminder: this is the only known place in the universe where life like ours exists. 🌍 Protecting Earth isn’t about saving the planet, it will persist in some form — it’s about protecting, at least for now, the only home that sustains humanity.

🌎🦉🧪 Next up in our bird vocalization series: the Brown Creeper. These tiny tree-climbing #birds are year-round Bay Area residents and begin nesting in March, building hammock-shaped nests behind loose bark. Their song is often remembered with the mnemonic: “trees, trees, beautiful trees.”
