The outer ear is a mammalian innovation but where did it come from? In our study in @Nature, @MathiThiru95 and colleagues find that the outer ear arose from modification of an ancestral gill program first originating in marine invertebrates. https://t.co/i05me2SXI4

Did you know?

Vultures are sun worshipers and love nothing better than stretching their huge wings out to catch the rays of the sun. The light also kills bacteria or deter parasites from the feathers.

Only discovered 20 years ago, Tiktaalik was an important fossil find in understanding the water to land transition in vertebrates. #FossilrFriday #UMMP

Revered by Mesoamerican societies, the jaguar fell to the lack of education&knowledge by the new settlers to the Americas. It was feared because it was a predator&then it was seen as a resource to be extracted&create income through its skin, teeth, and trophy hunting.

FREE ONLINE COURSE: Introduction to Coral Reef Management (Reef Resilience Network)

https://t.co/jQ3TSeIgSu

The Introduction to Coral Reef Management Online Course is designed to provide marine managers and practitioners with the foundational knowledge necessary to support coral reef resilience in the face of climate change. The course consists of four lessons that explore the ecology of coral reef ecosystems, threats to reefs, management strategies for addressing local and global threats, and guidance for assessing and monitoring reefs for resilience. This new course updates and builds on the Introduction to Coral Reef Resilience Course, which was launched in 2010 and updated in 2021.

"Bumblebee population increases 116 times over in 'remarkable' Scotland rewilding project."

Read that again: **116** times.

Why are we STILL having to argue the case for rewilding??

The remarkable traits of the #mangrove ecosystem translate into a wide variety of goods and services that we benefit from.

[Mike Hudema @MikeHudema]

Scotland is aiming to be the world's first rewilded country. It's looking to rewild 30% of the country by 2030.

We have the solutions. Replenishing and protecting nature is one of them. #ActOnClimate
