The first estimate of coral egg numbers across the Indo-Pacific shows which species can help rebuild devastated reefs. @la__cientifica @jcu https://t.co/prrHRJHPLx

The smarter women are, the more hostility they face.

In the U.S. & China, the higher women’s IQs, the less they're liked—and the more they’re undermined by coworkers. Men pay no price for being bright.

It's long past time to recognize female intellect as an asset, not a threat.

A great opportunity for a PhD at Griffith University, working on a project supported by the Threatened Species Initiative 🦋. Information and contacts in the attached advertisement.

Most experiments fail, and negative results rarely get published. This means LLMs are unaware of the outcomes of most experiments.

An eagle made from logging debris in Tasmania’s Central Highlands, where Forestry Tasmania is right now destroying vital wildlife habitat. Today, activists took action to halt the destruction, building this powerful sculpture. #Politas

Some of Australia's largest mining companies receive hundreds of millions in diesel fuel tax credits - BHP alone received $622 million last financial year.

At a time when the budget is under pressure and Australians are feeling huge cost of living pressures, these subsidies need to end.

We should be capping fuel tax credits to look after farmers and small miners but make the biggest miners pay the full price for diesel like everyone else.

New @jcu research has found that some reefs play host to heat-tolerant corals, highlighting the importance of identifying and protecting these reefs as an insurance policy against future bleaching.

“There was no to little sign of bleaching ...”

@jcu Nice work Scott and Jon!

[Environment Centre NT @EnviroCentreNT]

HUGE NEWS! This morning, the owners of Newcastle Waters instructed management to immediately cease plans for the culling of 20,000 native corellas & galahs. When thousands of Australians speak up for our iconic nature, the world listens. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you.

Iceland—previously the only Arctic nation without mosquitoes—no longer holds that distinction.

"The detection of mosquitoes just north of Reykjavík in 2025 reflects an ecological shift already underway," write Amanda M. Koltz and Lauren E. Culler in a new #ScienceEditorial.

Connectivity isn't a nice-to-have for coral reefs – it's their lifeline. And now scientists know which reefs serve as vital 'stepping stones' for coral larvae. @la__cientifica @jcu https://t.co/ZR1musyXeB

“Despite the scale and urgency, biodiversity loss remains severely under-recognized,” says our Tim Nicol.

The new Nature Media Centre in Australia is closing the gap between the need for conservation and the lack of urgency for it.📸Vince Russell/Unsplash https://t.co/TjMQGww5is
