Millions join in huge call for the EU to use its muscle to bring Europe’s nature back, starting with this beautiful short animation.

Bring nature back! TURN THE SOUND UP

We're in an ecological crisis. Restoring nature to our streets and our countryside can boost well-being and help stop climate breakdown. @vonderleyen @TimmermansEU #BringNatureBack! NatureNow

I had the opportunity to write a @ConversationUK article with @DavidGTosh on our new @royalsociety paper on pine marten and squirrel behavioural interactions @QUBEcology @GeorgeMonbiot @ChrisGPackham @QUBbioscience @Irishwildlife Read it here :bit.ly/32u7p0g

Grey squirrels are oblivious to threat from pine martens – giving native reds the advantage

Where pine martens have recovered, red squirrels have tended to benefit while grey squirrels have declined. Scientists weren’t sure why – until now.

Glad to finally be able to share this one! Here we show how the thorax scales of moths absorb the sound energy of bat echolocation calls, acting as a type of acoustic stealth coating. Hurrah! royalsocietypublishing.org/d…

Strongly lateralized squirrels do not learn as quickly as those which are less lateralized. Interesting work from @laleaver1 @stephford93 @mattieyeo and others from @CrabExeter #Handedness #Pawedness

Surprising fact for your #MondayMorning: Ambidextrous squirrels learn more quickly than those that strongly favour their left/right. In the video below, @laleaver1 explains more...
