The sun creeping in! The whole Central Valley has been under an unrelenting tule fog for like three weeks now. We'd taken a trip up to the Sierra foothills just to get some sun. The trail we'd picked was right where the fog ended, so we got to appreciate it getting burned off 😀 #california #nature

Bear Gulch Reservoir was quite pretty -- made better as all these tiny little birds were swarming (presumably hopeful for lost food, as I think a lot of hikers pause there for a snack). #california #nature

Somehow Pinnacles maintains the ability to inspire borderline heatstroke despite the December cool. I can't imagine what it's like in July. I did enjoy this big rock that looked like some sort of giant landing craft, though. #california #nature

Threats to conservation from artificial-intelligence-generated wildlife images and videos

"Three distinctive characteristics of contemporary society can exacerbate this issue: the pervasive use of social media, anthropomorphizing of animal behavior, and disconnection from nature."

Samhain [sow-wen]: the ancient Celtic festival that marks the end of summer and the beginning of winter — the moment when Beira the Cailleach, Queen of Winter, regains control over the landscape from the Queen of Summer, Brigid. It also marks the moment when the veil between the living and the dead is at its thinnest and the origins of Halloween. Mountain spirits come to the fore at this time of year.

Hidden inside every growing hypha lies a microscopic powerhouse — the #Spitzenkörper.
It’s not just a blob at the fungal tip — it’s the traffic controller, architect, and GPS of fungal growth. 🍄
This video will uncover how this mysterious vesicle cluster orchestrates the very architecture of life beneath our feet.

Ecosystems as infrastructure: Tim Christophersen on how to rebuild humanity’s ties to nature

The forests of northern Europe provided Tim Christophersen with his first education. As a child in rural Germany he followed his grandfather, a forest ranger, on long walks among the trees.

The genius of trees: how forests have shaped humanity, from chocolate cravings to our ability to dream

Since our early ancestors came down from the canopy, we may think we have learned how to live without trees. But our lives remain intertwined in incredible ways

Happy #WorldPhotographyDay !

This is one of my favourite images from last autumn in Scotland's Ancient Caledonian Forest. In the dark of morning, I hiked up this pathless steep sided hill to gain a view over the magnificent glen beyond and was treated to an exceptional sunrise. Amazing to see all these regenerating pine saplings growing on the higher slopes.

This monarch, a skipper, & some bumblebees were enjoying the zinnias Thursday. Seen monarchs around the garden nearly every day now. They seem to especially like the zinnias, the most abundant large flower in the garden right now.

Photograph of a monarch butterfly (Danaus plexippus) standing atop a pink zinnia flower with out of focus flowers and green foliage in the foreground and in the background. The monarch is facing left in profile leaving only its left side visible and it has its proboscis inserted into one of the flower's orange-yellow florets. Monarch butterflies have orange wings with black and white patterned edges and black veining, black bodies and heads covered with white polka dots and fine black hairs, large black compound eyes, two long black antennae, and six black segmented legs.

At an event celebrating the 100th anniversary of quantum mechanics, physicists were polled on their view of quantum theory.

Their wildly divergent answers illustrate the difference between observation and interpretation.

nature.com/articles/d41586-025… #science #nature #physics #philosophy

Quantum mechanics is one of the most successful theories in science — and makes much of modern life possible. Technologies ranging from computer chips to medical-imaging machines rely on the application of equations, first sketched out a century ago, that describe the behaviour of objects at the microscopic scale. But researchers still disagree widely on how best to describe the physical reality that lies behind the mathematics, as a Nature survey reveals.

Physicists disagree wildly on what quantum mechanics says about reality, Nature survey shows

First major attempt to chart researchers’ views finds interpretations in conflict.

These are the beautiful spore-producing structures of plasmodial slime molds. Which is your favourite colour?

Originally considered Fungi, these Myxomycetes are now classed as Amoebozoans - single celled organisms with thousands of nuclei... not animals or fungi but something else entirely!

The right for nature to simply exist is clear – the movement to enshrine this into law is growing

The idea that nature — forests , rivers, mountains — could have rights, in the same way that human rights, or corporate rights exist has been building momentum. A historic global agreement has been…

Are there any #beetle specialists in the #fediverse? Had this in the moth box this morning. 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. Grateful for any assistance

Overhead shot of 4cm beetle. It is oval. It has ridged wings to about halfway down. The bottom half is not ridged. it has gold or dark yellow edging.
Front on shot of 4cm beetle It has two black frog-like eyes on a stippled black head. It has a gold band near its mouth and two pincer like protrusions. It stretches back where its wings become blurred in the picture. It has crab like legs.
Shot of the underside of a 4cm beetle. It has large gold teardrop scales that point inwards until halfway where it them becomes horizontal bands of reddish brown. Its legs point hither and thither as it attempts to right itself.
