Short story about the photo-ID catalogue of white sharks from the Neptune Islands using photos from Andrew Fox. This catalogue was used for a couple of studies incl. one looking at sociality and associations doi.org/10.1007/s00265…

Two important recent papers go hand in hand. The first shows that forest-based carbon offsets are not working. The authors seems to suggest ways to fix them, but after 35 years of failures, maybe its time to move on. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

We’ve been seeing a catastrophic summer season across many places in the northern hemisphere - and are set to experience the same here in the south over the next few months. We need urgent action on climate change now! 🌏 🌊 #ClimateActionNow #ClimateCrisis #Heatwave
