Found only in Cuba, the bee hummingbird (or zunzuncito) is the world's smallest bird & also the vertebrate with the highest metabolic rate.
They weigh 2 gr, have a wingspan of 3.5cm & breath 20 times per second when flying & their heart beats over 1000 times per min!

*New paper*
How does upland afforestation affect bird & small mammal communities:
➡️moorlands have more birds of #conservation concern but less small mammals than young forests.
➡️important implications for #henharrier & upland predators.

Widespread implementation of open practices is needed:
• for research & guidance to build on existing knowledge.
• if wind energy development is to be aligned with conservation priorities.
