Before plants or animals, fungi conquered Earth’s surface #nature

Before plants or animals, fungi conquered Earth’s surface
Fungi’s evolutionary roots stretch far deeper than once believed — up to 1.4 billion years ago, long before plants or animals appeared. Using advanced molecular dating and gene transfer analysis, researchers reconstructed fungi’s ancient lineage, revealing they were crucial in shaping Earth’s first soils and ecosystems.

Bats are one of the few animals that I genuinely don't enjoy being around.... but I still want them to thrive!
This is really great news that a Canadian researcher might have found a treatment for white-nose syndrome!
" B.C.-based scientist Cori Lausen, nicknamed Bat Lady by her peers, believes a probiotic formula may be capable of saving them. This cocktail is a blend of four bacterial strains that suppress the fungus. These bacteria are naturally found in some bats, but not all. ”

"First Nature Reserve to Record 10,000 Species in UK–Thanks to Moth That Looks Like a Wasp"

First Nature Reserve to Record 10,000 Species in UK–Thanks to Moth That Looks Like a Wasp
The Wicken Fen nature reserve became the first in UK to record 10,000 species, after finding a unique moth that imitates a wasp.

I only realized recently that in #nature, every #offspring number that exceeds the number of parents (usually 2) is going to die more or less early (as food for other species) in order to keep the population under control.
(num animals dying early) = (num offspring) - (num parents)
So if a spec…

Yeah, that’s the stuff.

"...one notable policy initiative from the world body was not discussed by world leaders when it should have been. UN secretary-general António Guterres has put together a high-level group of specialists to propose new indicators for human and planetary prosperity that go ‘Beyond GDP’."
A #Nature journal editorial:
End GDP mania: how the world should really measure prosperity

End GDP mania: how the world should really measure prosperity
The obsession with economic output as a measure of human development puts sustainability on the back burner. Researchers can now help to devise better indicators.

R.B. And I hiked the Taughannock Falls Rim Trail this morning. So beautiful.

Saw this guy a few days ago. Just a few houses up 🦉
Then last night I hear this screech again from our upstairs bedroom window. So I use the Merlin app to identify it as a Great Horned Owl. Then I played the various sounds and learned that this is a juvenile doing a "begging call", which is a raspy screeching sound young owls use to solicit food from their parents.
Kids, man. They always need something.

Strong global support emerges for 30–30 biodiversity target to protect the planet
There is strong support for the global 30–30 target on biodiversity, which means that one-third of Earth's surface should be protected by 2030. This is shown in a study from the University of Gothenburg that measured public opinion in eight countries on five continents.
