Dr. Jingchun Li is an Associate Professor in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the University of Colorado Boulder, and she is the Curator of Invertebrates at CU Boulder's Museum of Natural History. She is also a Packard Foundation Fellow and a National Geographic Explorer. Jingchun studies how different species interact with each other and how that has influenced their evolution. Her work focuses mostly on mollusks like clams, scallops, cockles, snails, octopus, and squid. For example, she has recently been examining giant clams that use symbiotic algae to become photosynthetic. As a museum curator, Jingchuin manages the museum's collection of nearly one million invertebrates. She is responsible for developing the collection, good stewardship, documenting relevant details about each specimen, and making specimens available to scientists and the public. Some of Jingchun's hobbies include rock climbing at a local gym with her lab members, spending time with her kids, watching musicals, reading, and playing board games like Setters of Catan. Jingchun completed her B.S. in Biological Sciences at Capital Normal University in China and was awarded her PhD in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology from the University of Michigan. Next, Jingchun conducted postdoctoral research at Harvard University with support from an NSF Ocean Sciences Postdoctoral Research Fellowship. Afterwards, she joined the faculty at the University of Colorado Boulder. In our interview, Jingchun shares insights and stories from her life and science.

It's the last in our run of episodes about Antarctica. We are all back home, and we promise to stop bothering the poor continent. Alan and Thom discuss returning to an inbox of horrors and readjusting to time away. More cable cutting in our news updates, blobfish being voted fish of the year, and the tongue-eating louse potentially being invertebrate of the year. We don't want to say we influence the news, but it seems a little spooky. Thom couldn't talk about it until after the press release, but the Schmidt Ocean Institute cruise he was on had to look at the seabed under a 150-meter-thick ice shelf right as it moved out of the way. We talked to the science leads on that cruise, Patricia Esquete and Sasha Montelli. We learned about the hydrography and glaciology of that region and then the seabed and communities that were revealed when the ice shelf moved away. Kat and Thom updated us on what it was like to join a tourist expedition ship, and we grabbed a Coffee With Andrew to learn what it was like to dive almost 5km deep in a sub.

Dr. Michael Middlebrooks is an Associate Professor of Biology at the University of Tampa. Michael's research focuses on various species of sea slugs, particularly a group called the Sacaglossan sea slugs. Some of them have developed the ability to use chloroplasts from the algae they eat to become photosynthetic themselves. Michael studies how being a photosynthetic animal can change their ecology and their interactions with other organisms. He also does some work on seagrass restoration and how this affects plant-animal interactions. Scuba diving is Michael's favorite thing in the world to do, and he's able to explore the underwater world and look for cool animals both for work and in his free time. In addition, he enjoys listening to live music and reading. He received his B.S. in biology from Florida State University and his Ph.D. in Integrative biology from the University of South Florida.

This month I am going to be using a prompt list to encourage myself to keep a regular garden journal again. This has been inspired by Inktober which is an art challenge where participants sketch something in ink, every day for the month of October. There is an official list, but I have created my own. I am calling this challenge Inktober in the Garden. Each prompt is just one word related to gardens and gardening and is aimed to get us thinking in different ways about the beauty of our cultivated space. Here is the list:1. Pollinator; 2. Fruit; 3. Scented; 4. Germinate; 5. Wild; 6. Sun; 7. Growth; 8. Mulch; 9. Tendril; 10. Water; 11. Sow; 12. Flower; 13. Soil; 14. Shade; 15. Cultivated; 16. Climbing; 17. Root; 18. Invertebrate; 19.

Harvest. If you would like to join me, you can use each prompt or just dip into the ones that inspire you the most. I would love to see your pages! If you are on social media you can use the hashtag #inktoberinthegarden or you can email me your pages at bethan@journalingwithnature.com. If you don't have a garden, you can use the prompts to get inspired by your local park or green space. I have created a blog post with this information.

Belfast wildlife havens under threat

Title image : Grey-banded Mining Bee (Andrena denticulata) Steven Falk Wild Belfast and Buglife have come together to highlight the alarming loss of wildlife-rich brownfield habitat across Belfast. Some brownfield sites in Belfast can support rare and endangered wildlife, including well-loved species such as Red-shanked Carder Bee (Bombus ruderarius), Common Lizard (Zootoca vivipara) and Lapwing (Vanellus vanellus). However, many of these nature hotspots are at risk from being lost to development. Belfast wildlife needs protection "The state of Belfast's brownfields: nature under threat" 2024 report shows that over a seven-year period, 40% of 47 brownfield sites that Buglife had previously identified as important for wildlife in Belfast have been lost, damaged or are in immediate threat. Concerningly, when live planning applications are also considered, over 60% of the total area of this vital habitat has either been lost or is under immediate threat- with potentially profound impacts for nature in the city. Brownfields can support a huge diversity of wildlife, often providing refuges for species which have suffered population crashes as a result of habitat loss, such as wildflower meadows disappearing from the landscape. They can include quarries, disused railways lines, spoil heaps, even former industrial estates that have been allowed to develop into urban havens for wildlife. Sadly, despite often being the last remaining 'wild' green spaces in Belfast's neighbourhoods, brownfields are frequently targeted for development. Conor McKinney, Chair of the Wild Belfast community group says, "Now is a critical period for the protection of biodiversity. Our planning system offers the potential to protect and enhance biodiversity- or to destroy it. Despite being a priority habitat our planning system is currently failing to protect wildlife-rich brownfield sites in Belfast, or indeed across Northern Ireland. Nature and planning authorities must seize the opportunities available to them to protect these sites for nature and the communities with which they share these valuable wild urban spaces". Buglife has previously identified and measured the extent of brownfields important for invertebrates in a 2017 report- a habitat often referred to as 'Open mosaic habitat on previously developed land'. Shortly after that report, the habitat was listed as a conservation priority in Northern Ireland. However, this new study that revisits these sites suggests that despite this commitment, these important wildlife sites are still being lost, hindering the city's nature recovery ambitions. Jamie Robins, Programmes Manager of Buglife says, "Brownfields which have been reclaimed by nature are becoming increasingly important for our rare invertebrates as the wider countryside is degraded. We need to do more to protect these wildlife havens. The remaining wildlife-rich brownfields should be protected from development and embraced as a key nature recovery solution, and celebrating the role they have to play in giving communities a place to connect with nature." The 2024 report suggests that Belfast's brownfields need to be better recognised and protected by the planning system. It also suggests that the best sites be incorporated into the important Site of Local Nature Conservation Importance (SLNCI) network. In addition, the report looks beyond Belfast and recommends that a Northern Ireland wide inventory of the habitat should be urgently created. Buglife is the only organisation in Europe devoted to the conservation of all invertebrates our aim is to halt the extinction of invertebrate species and to achieve sustainable populations of invertebrates. Invertebrates are vitally important to a healthy planet - humans and other life forms could not survive without them. The food we eat, the fish we catch, the birds we see, the flowers we smell and the hum of life we hear, simply would not exist without bugs. Invertebrates underpin life on earth and wit...

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: How much funding do invertebrate welfare organizations get?, published by BrownHairedEevee on June 21, 2024 on The Effective Altruism Forum. By invertebrate welfare as a cause area, I mean all invertebrates (particularly marine crustaceans and insects[1]), whether farmed or wild. Thus, this cause area includes: Shrimp Welfare Project Insect Institute Arthropoda Foundation Aquatic Life Institute Crustacean Compassion 1. ^ I feel the need to mention that insects are technically part of the crustacean family.

It was Jimmie Durante who first came up with the rhyme, “spring is sprung, the grass is riz; I wonder where them boidies is?” Of course, spring also means the return of insects — bees, butterflies, dragonflies, and yes, mosquitoes — and here at the Xerces Society we start getting questions about what to do about these pesky critters. Does spraying help? Does spraying harm other insects? What are the alternatives and do they work? To explore the topic of mosquitoes, we are joined today by Aaron Anderson. Aaron is a Pesticide Program Specialist at Xerces and works with communities across the country, as well as Xerces staff, to reduce pesticide use in residential landscapes, including promoting non-pesticide approaches to landscape care and pollinator-friendly gardening practices.Thank you for listening!

Dr. Scott Stephens joins Chris Jennings and Dr. Mike Brasher to profile this iconic species, discussing its ecology, population status, causes of its decline, and conservation opportunities.www.ducks.org/DUPodcast
