Sir David Attenborough… on your 100th birthday, we thank you. For a lifetime dedicated to the natural world, and for sharing its story with such grace and wonder. Generations have fallen in love with nature because of you. Happy birthday, Sir. 🎉

This photograph captures Sir David Attenborough seated outdoors on the rugged terrain of Skomer Island. Behind him, the ocean and coastal cliffs form a scenic backdrop under a clear sky. Sir David, dressed in a khaki jacket and light trousers, looks towards the camera with a gentle expression, exuding a sense of warmth, calm, and wisdom. Around him, puffins can be seen flying and perched on the rocky ground, illuminated in rays of golden sunlight as the sun sets behind the cliffs.

A nice visual, and a worthwhile one to remember when considering gaps and biases in biodiversity data in Australia 🦘🌱 Nearly 70% of the population lives in a greater capital city, meaning that incidental observations of animals and plants outside of those areas are rare and valuable 🧪🌏📊

Love these population density spike maps. (by @researchremora) www.kontur.io/solutions/au...

This population density map of Australia visualizes how most of the population is concentrated in coastal cities like Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, and Perth. The interior is mostly uninhabited, with labels like "NO ONE LIVES HERE" emphasizing the vast emptiness. The vertical spikes represent population density, showing the stark contrast between urban centers and the sparsely populated outback.

ID guide for these globetrotting rodents! 🌍🦫 (Coypu are invasive in Europe and North America) I've seen so many coypu photos used in beaver articles recently. If you're a science communicator or a journalist, take a moment to familiarise yourself with the differences. - It may be handy! #SciComm

Do you know the difference between a beaver and a coypu? They may look similar, but they’re from opposite sides of the world. Often, photos of coypu are misidentified as beavers in the media. Once you know the difference, see if you can spot them. [1/3] #mammals #wildlife #beavers

A project at Abberton Reservoir in Essex has begun colour-ringing and tracking Eurasian Wigeon in an effort to better understand how the species uses landscapes during the winter and beyond:

Wigeon tagging at Abberton Reservoir to shed light on wintering and migration patterns

A new collaborative project at Abberton Reservoir in Essex is ringing and tracking Eurasian Wigeon to gain fresh insights into how these migratory ducks use landscapes for feeding, roosting and navigating threats during the winter months.

A plea from an editor: postdocs & grad students who want to review manuscripts, please (!) have an online presence with your current email. I try to solicit reviews from ECRs, but we all move a lot, and it's hard to know if we'll be able to reach you at the email address on your last paper 🧪🌍
