💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: Researchers in #Brazil reconstructed 3.3 million years of #tropical #vegetation #history and projected changes by 2050.

They found that #climatechange could produce #ecosystem shifts within decades that took millions of years to unfold naturally. Species that evolved in stable tropical refuges, including much of the Malay #Archipelago, face the highest risk from this compression of change over time.

Impact of climate change may be equivalent to 3.3 million years of transformations in tropical vegetation

Changes that took millions of years can now happen in a matter of decades, and this accelerated rythm can be destructive, with dangerous consequences for the planet

Stingless bees in Peru become the first insects with legal rights. Will it happen globally?

Two municipalities in the Peruvian Amazon have granted native stingless bees the legal right to exist, thrive and be represented in court.

Interesting new study that shows huge knowledge gaps in spillover potential in endangered species which is bad news for us. It's also bad news for the endangered species themselves who are at risk of being wiped out completely if a new virus strikes, considering they are already facing serious extinction risks

At least 4cm long (measured at 4, possibly 4.2cm) App says King Diving Beetle but they're quite rare round here. More likely Great, but I see gold edge rather than yellow and seems too big.
