  3. 🐟🧪 Biologists from #Acadia University and the University of #BritishColumbia studied how #psilocybin affects the behavior of the aggressive mangrove rivulus #fish.

    #Data indicated that the compound reduces territorial displays while allowing normal social interactions to continue. The findings suggest that the psychoactive ingredient in magic #mushrooms can dampen social conflict in #vertebrates.

  8. #Maine - The #SchoodicToSchoodic Initiative

    "Together we can save one of the last places along the #EasternSeaboard where #wildlife can roam to and from rocky #shores and inland #woods seeking food and refuge.

    "Seventy-five percent of Maine’s native plants and animals are vulnerable to the impacts of #ClimateChange. As temperatures warm, these threatened species will have to move significant distances to survive, but too often #development makes this impossible.

    "Over the past several decades we’ve been working in partnership with #FrenchmanBayConservancy, #TheNatureConservancy, the #StateOfMaine, and other partners to conserve key 'stepping stones' of land between #DonnellPond Unit (state-conserved land surrounding #SchoodicMountain and #TunkLake) and the #SchoodicDistrict of #AcadiaNationalPark (on the #SchoodicPeninsula) to create a protected corridor for #wildlife. Through over 60 conservation projects, #MCHT and partners have conserved more than 55,000 acres from 'Schoodic to Schoodic.' MCHT has played a role in three-quarters of those projects.

    "Still, the corridor is not sufficiently protected and critical lands are under threat of development."
