Sable shearwaters have long been the avian face of plastic pollution. But no one knew exactly how these birds' predilection for plastic impacted their survival. Now, research quantifies how much plastic it might take to kill a seabird--and how our trash impacts species at the population level. 🐦🧪

The Xerces Society for Invertebrate Conservation@xercessociety.bsky.social · 5h ago

Every year we make the case for keeping leaves, branches, & plant stems in your yard. Bugs need them for shelter! That’s not to say you can’t tidy up: rake leaves into garden beds, around trees, or just in a pile out of the way. All we ask is that you #LeaveTheLeaves! 🍂🐝 xerces.org/blog/leave-t...

Leave the Leaves!

One of the most valuable ways to support pollinators and other invertebrates is to provide them with the shelter they need to survive the winter. Thankfully, all you need to do is do less yard work.

Have you been subject to the Trump admin's attack on higher ed & research? Trump's ideological crackdown on science and knowledge must be stood up to. America's Compact for Higher Education is our unified response against Trump's effort to bend higher ed to his authoritarian control.

What makes this obscene is the building Trump's threatening to demolish if he doesn't get his way, is a *memorial* to a loved president who served his country and was assassinated while in office (two things Donald is yet to accomplish). It is like Trump threatening to jackhammer JFK's gravestone.
