Fungi are among the planet's most important organisms, yet continue to be overlooked in conservation strategies
The ConversationFungi are among the planet’s most important organisms — yet they’re overlooked in conservation strategiesFungi are essential to our ecosystems, our societies and economies.
Important news: two foxes have dug a foxhole in our schoolgarden, right in front of the room where I teach maths. Since last week, at least two cubs have been seen at night. Here are the highlights. (1/3)

It's weird to talk about the ecological benefits of #DireWolf #deextinction when the ecosystem they belonged to isn't here any more. Dire wolves ate a bunch of huge animals that also aren't around any more, and the ecosystem was literally an ice age. Hank Green makes the best points I've seen so far. #science #biology #ecology https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ar0zgedLyTw

phys.orgEclipse echoes: Study reveals surprising avian vocal patterns during solar eclipseA study published in Scientific Reports reveals how birds responded to the April 8, 2024, total solar eclipse across North America. The study finds bird vocalizations significantly declined only where more than 99% solar obscuration occurred. The study is titled "Continental-scale behavioral response of birds to a total solar eclipse."
GLP-1 Agonists Linked to Reduced Dementia Risk
Summary: A study by University of Galway students highlights a 45% dementia risk reduction with GLP-1 receptor agonists, offering potential for diabetes medications to benefit cognitive health. Published in JAMA Neurology, it underscores the need for further research on neuroprotective effects.
