The "Oilsands Region" refers to not just the active surface mines, but a large region across 1/5 of Alberta that overlays #bitumen deposits. Most of it is in fact still native vegetation, but it is highly fragmented by seismic lines and other human footprint. After ten years, Alberta Biodiversity Monitoring Institute has finally been able to publish this report https://osr-report-2026.abmi.ca/osr-home?mc_cid=dc38273590&mc_eid=726c727c41 #oilsands #alberta #biodiversity

Bumblebees got rhythm!
Or more to the point - bumblebees get rhythm!
Recent research found that not only can bumblebees recognise a rhythm but they can identify the same pattern even when the tempo is adjusted.

📰 Mangroves clean up $8.7 billion of nitrogen pollution annually, per study.
Nitrogen pollution is a known problem in agriculture, other human activities, and wreaks havoc in aquatic ecosystems.
➕ Add this to mangroves being valuable carbon sinks, coastal defense against storm surges, a buffer against erosion, among other benefits.

extreme nahaufnahme eines himbeerkäfers :3
ob das jetzt ein
Großäugiger Himbeerkäfer
Byturus ochraceus
oder ein
Kleinäugiger Himbeerkäfer
Byturus tomentosus
ist, ist kaum zu sagen und am ende ja auch ziemlich egal, niedlich ist er allemal. die larven, die man so oft als "wurm" in himbeeren findet schon etwas weniger ^^

The UK government commissioned a national security report on the implications of Biodiversity loss.
Then Number 10 apparently decided against publishing it (last year).
A couple of FOI requests later and an (allegedly) heavily redacted summary was released earlier this year without fanfare to satisfy legal requirements.
https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/nature-security-assessment-on-global-biodiversity-loss-ecosystem-collapse-and-national-security
Even the summary page makes for sobering reading.

Platypuses need threatened species recognition in NSW, researcher says
"The species was only "hanging on, not thriving" in NSW and the Murray-Darling Basin."
"There's no state or national monitoring framework for platypuses...Dr Bino said platypuses had survived Australia's natural cycles for millions of years, but were now struggling to adapt to human-driven changes. We've been disrupting the natural flow regime and fragmenting and isolating platypus populations."
"Platypus are pretty much wiped out from the mainland in South Australia. They used to occur all along the Murray but that's no longer the case." >>

In Südhessen wird ein Massenauftreten von rund einer halben Milliarde #Maikäfer erwartet.
Die Tiere erscheinen meist alle vier Jahre synchron, nachdem sie als #Engerlinge im Boden Wurzeln fressen. Nach starken Bestandsrückgängen durch #Insektizide gelten heutige Schwärme auch als Folge trockener, warmer Böden infolge des #Klimawandel. Regional unterschiedliche Zyklen sorgen für wechselnde #Maikäferjahre.

Glyphosate Based Herbicides (GBH) are the most widely used #pesticides globally. Increased use of genetically engineered glyphosate-tolerant crops which allow GBH application throughout the growing season hugely increases GBH exposure with severe consequences for #bees and ecosystems.
