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

#theBeeAt3 Basic bee facts every day at 3pm. # 319 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. 🐝🤯 #bees #pollinators #nature #environment #science #education #wildlife #worldbeesanctuary #biodiversity #organic #vegan

📰 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. https://www.livescience.com/planet-earth/plants/mangroves-clean-up-usd8-7-billion-of-nitrogen-pollution-every-year-study-finds #SolarPunkSunday #Environment #Conservation #Pollution #Biodiversity #Mangroves #CoastalConservation

auch diese Buschkrabbenspinne Gattung Xysticus https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xysticus ist eine für mich neue art, wobei sich die nur bis gattungsniveau bestimmen ließ, denn "Die Arten Mitteleuropas sind einander häufig sehr ähnlich; die sichere Bestimmung ist daher in den meisten Fällen nur durch die mikroskopische Untersuchung der Geschlechtsorgane möglich" #spinne #spider #krabbeltierchen #BugOfTheDay #AuwaldRunde #nature #biodiversity #arachnology #macro

it's #WeevilWednesday 😍 post 'em if you got 'em :3 Variabler Plumprüssler Liophloeus tessulatus https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/W%C3%BCrfelfleckiger_Staubr%C3%BCssler gleich 2 bilder, auf dass klar werde warum der 'variabler' mit vornamen heißt. eigentlich klingt ja das 'würfelfleckiger staubrüssler', wie wikipedia den nennt, sowieso netter. #insekten #insects #weevil #rüsselkäfer #krabbeltierchen #BugOfTheDay #nature #biodiversity #entomology

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 ^^ #insekten #insects #kaefer #krabbeltierchen #BugOfTheDay #macro #nature #biodiversity #entomology

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. #UKPol #Sustainability #Environment #Biodiversity

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." >> https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-04-27/platypuses-should-be-threatened-species-in-nsw-researcher-says/106520128 #platypuses #conservation #habitat #rivers #NSW #monotremes #MDB #ThreatenedSpecies #biodiversity #water #pollution #sprawl #ImperviousSurfaces #roads #runoff #drowning #WipeoutAU

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. https://taz.de/Halbe-Milliarde-Maikaefer-im-Anflug-Comeback-der-Beetles/!6170395/ #Artenvielfalt #biodiversity #climatechange

#theBeeAt3 Basic bee facts every day at 3pm. # 313 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. #food #nature #insects #science #education #biodiversity #environment #worldbeesanctuary #vegan

#theBeeAt3 Basic bee facts every day at 3pm. # 311 A recent Finnish study which exposed #bumblebees to field realistic doses of the #glyphosate based #herbicide Roundup found that the bumblebees' fine-color discrimination and long-term memory were significantly impaired. #bees #nature #environment #biodiversity #worldbeesanctuary #science #education

1 in 5 soil-dependent species is globally threatened. Of 8,653 reviewed — 1,758 at risk, 35 already extinct. These are the organisms keeping your food alive. No lobbyists. No headlines. Just disappearing. #biodiversity #climate #soilhealth #extinction https://twp.ai/4hpRnC
