👻 The ghost slug was only formally described and named in 2008 from specimens found haunting the soil in Wales. 💁 Although discovered in Wales, it is considered non-native and may have originated in Eastern Europe. 😱 This spooky slug is carnivorous and will hunt earth worms in the soil at night, consuming them with its sharp teeth. 👉 Find out what other spooky species you can find here: https://lnkd.in/e2MWbaEV

🎙 New paper in People and Nature 🐺 Thrilled to share this new publication on the diversity of #emotions towards #wolves in French rural landscapes, in collaboration with Laura Taysse, Olivier Gimenez, Lisa Lehnen and Thomas Müller, supported by the Senckenberg Gesellschaft für Naturforschung and the CNRS Link to the paper: 👉 https://lnkd.in/eSnYE7NE We conducted face-to-face social surveys using excerpts of #YouTube videos to understand how people react to specific contexts of encounters with wild wolves. Our results show that even in rural landscapes and in a process of dynamic recolonization in #France, people would not expect to encounter wolves in the wild. The diversity of emotions expressed did not depict a particularly hostile atmosphere towards the wolf in French rural landscapes. These results call for better understanding of the mismatch between people's emotions, which were diverse, and the generally negative news narratives about large #carnivores, to pave the way for evidence-based carnivore conservation.

CORAL REEF NEWS: Coral larvae make homes where ocean sounds the healthiest There are a number of factors that might determine where you choose to make your house a home: the commute into work, the performance of the local schools, maybe the distance between you and the immediate relatives. But how many of us would select our next dwelling based on how loud the local fish are? If you’re a larval coral, this may just be the deciding factor. Researchers at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) in Massachusetts have now discovered that larval coral are using the audio cues of a healthy coral reef to decide where they choose to settle down.

Barely audible to human ears, healthy soils produce sounds in many forms – a bit like an underground rave concert. Special recordings made by Flinders University ecologists, Associate Professor Martin Breed and Dr Jake M. Robinson, show this chaotic mixture of soundscapes can be a measure of the diversity of tiny living animals in the soil, which create sounds as they move and interact with their environment. With 75% of the world’s soils degraded, the future of the teeming community of living species that live underground face a dire future without restoration. Our new field of research aims to investigate the vast, teeming hidden ecosystems where almost 60% of the Earth’s species live.

On average, a humpback whale can store around 33 tons of CO2eq in its lifetime. This amount is based on the carbon stored in the whale's body, which accumulates over its lifespan of 50 years or more. Additionally, when a whale dies and sinks to the ocean floor, it sequesters this carbon, preventing it from re-entering the atmosphere for centuries. ✨🐋💙 Today is International Day for Biological Diversity. Let's remember to protect our oceans and protect biodiversity. https://lnkd.in/dquMCm7k
The magic of humpback whale songs. 📽️ by @peter_loeseke x @__behindthemask__ From @peter_loeseke: “The singing of humpback whales captivates researchers and nature enthusiasts worldwide. Male humpback whales produce complex, melodic songs across a wide frequency range. These songs consist of various sounds and patterns that can repeat over hours or days. During mating season, the whales sing more frequently and intricately, with the purpose of their songs not yet fully understood. It is believed that the singing plays a role in mating or represents forms of social interaction and territory marking. Of particular note is that the songs are passed down and modified from one generation to the next, indicating learned behavior. The endangered status of humpback whales underscores the need to protect their habitats, as human activities such as noise pollution can negatively impact their singing and behavior. The singing of humpback whales is a fascinating and complex phenomenon that provides insights into the behavior of these remarkable animals and highlights the urgency of conserving their habitats.”
