New Guinea singing dogs (listen here: https://t.co/Gox9II2Tt7) are teaching researchers about the role of genetics in vocalization. They have special genes that do not exist in any other dogs that we know today! #singingdogs#conservation Read more: https://t.co/PzoDyd2Vce
As a kid, I always envisioned happy little bumblebees floating from flower to flower. Their “buzz” vibrates plants to release pollen & they tolerate colder temperatures. But, a new study has uncovered what is stressing out this important pollinator. #bees

A recent study in Brazil demonstrated the direct and indirect effects of roads in key areas used by jaguars. Surprisingly, jaguars seemed to ignore roads suggests the need for urban road fencing. #USFconsbio#conservation#Brazil#jaguars —> https://t.co/iBzaPrGBnG
While many of us are aware of the effects of global warming on coral bleaching, a recent study has identified the toxicity levels of 9 herbicides in the Great Barrier Reef which helps inform management of this marine ecosystem. #USFconsbio#reefwatch

Meet the Siberian Unicorn, a predecessor to modern rhinos (between 126 to 11 kya). Analysis of ancient DNA suggests that modern rhinos have lower genetic diversity than ancient species which puts them at higher risk of extinction due to climate change. https://t.co/KnMIT57u9w
After the Great Barrier Reef hit it’s 3rd major coral bleaching event (2020) in 5 years, scientists are racing to uncover which herbicides are the strongest contributors. #USFconsbio#ProtectTheReef

Do you use apps with Natural Soundscapes with bird songs to lull your brain to sleep? Unfortunately, declining bird populations threaten to reduce opportunities to hear these sounds in person due to a loss of acoustic diversity in our natural soundscapes.

I had never heard about carbon-negative until this! It means that they absorb more emissions than they produce. That is something new.. ⚡️ “COP26: These 3 countries are carbon-negative, a step beyond net-zero. What’s their secret?” by @TRF_Climate https://t.co/VCID9rugTx
As we begin the Holiday Season & Coca-cola Polar Bears once again begin to fill our television screens, it’s important to remember the very real threat Polar Bears are facing today: rapidly melting sea ice due to climate change. #conservation#polarbears
