Please share and retweet! Time is running out to submit to the #AnimalBehaviourJournal special issue on Chemical Communication and Behaviour! 🚨🚨🚨

Again, persistent upper-level low has appeared over North East Europe and keeps temperatures below normal this week and possibly beyond that.

I hate to say it, but it resembles the pattern in May-June 2017...

”Eläimen esineellistäminen ja ihmisen nostaminen muiden eläinten yläpuolelle helpottaa eläinten hyödyntämisen perustelemista ja silmien ummistamista niiden huonolta kohtelulta.” yle.fi/a/74-20085004

Out today! Our Theme issue in #philisophicalTransactions about the future of insect monitoring is out now. royalsocietypublishing.org/toc/rstb/curre…

Kimalaiset paljastuivat nokkeliksi tiimityöläisiksi – raskaskin homma hoituu yhteisin voimin kemiamedia.fi/kimalaiset-pal…

#Tornientaisto 'on osallistuttiin tänään yli 300 tornissa ympäri maan. Peräti 18 tornissa rikottiin 100 lajin raja, ja Pyhäjoen Parhalahdella havaittiin peräti 122 lintulajia, mikä on tapahtuman uusi ennätys.

Tosi onnistunut Tornien taisto Porin Kaarluodon tornissa. Ilmeisesti 96 lajia. Löysin tervapääskyn 10 min ennen loppua ja muutaman muunkin lajin, kuten käki, pensastasku ja pikkutikka. Saatiin 4 lajia pääskyjä ja 40 korppia! 😀🐦 #tornientaisto #linnut

In April, the UAH satellite series set a new record high.

Satellite temperature data sets aren't the same as surface data. They average the lowest several kilometers of the atmosphere, and often show large delayed spikes from El Niño, as is likely here.

Tree diversity enhances predation by birds but not by arthropods across climate gradients

Well, not only this (previously) Finnish breeding Lapwing continued to move east, crossing the Ural mountains, it started breeding in what seems a very similar arable land habitat in Russia. Breeding dispersal of 2300Km! 😮A possible record contender for the species? 👀 #scicomm

125 days into 2024, and we have already reached the EU's #OvershootDay . 🫗

The EU accounts for only 7% of the world's population, but we would need 3 planets to satisfy our demand if everyone on Earth lived like Europeans. 🌍🌍🌍
