[Rio Button @biologistbutton]

God bless Africa,
guard her children,
guide her leaders,
and give her peace.

We said this prayer everyday at noon throughout high school. It resonates with me especially today because it's voting day at home 🏡 🇿🇦

If we don’t start doing some experiments on assisted migration soon, and learning from those experiments in the spirit of active adaptive management, it will be too late for many species. Conservationists are too conservative.

Coral reefs support more than 500 million people worldwide, but they are among the most threatened ecosystems on Earth.

From wildebeest herds churning dust to shorebirds flying from Siberia, these iconic animal migrations could soon be a memory.

As researchers from @UQ_News write, human exploitation of migratory species is the main reason why they are in decline. https://t.co/6tEfLZh9CX

We are looking for archaeological scientists based in the Global South, who would be interested in a 2-week visiting fellowship with us this summer. Eligible research areas include archaeobotany!!

Nature does not recognise borders.

To effectively conserve migratory species, the international community must work together.

As heat stress finally begins to abate in the Caribbean, we are now looking toward the Central Pacific as #CoralBleaching stress 🌡️ is predicted to occur at varying intensities over the upcoming months.
