  1. für mich war das highlight der heutigen #AuwaldRunde natürlich der frosch :{)

    ein wasserfrosch der
    Gattung Pelophylax
    de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pelophyl

    genauer ist das kaum zu sagen, denn das ist
    "ein systematisch schwieriger Formenkomplex mit noch nicht abschließend erforschten Verwandtschaftsbeziehungen und diversen Hybridisierungen untereinander"

  2. Natural forest regrowth offers a lower-cost path to climate and #biodiversity goals

    Excerpt: "As nations race to restore #ecosystems and curb #ClimateChange, research has shown that letting nature do the work is a cost-effective, viable solution. A study from the University of Queensland and the University of Newcastle found that natural forest regeneration delivered substantial carbon and #biodiversity benefits and could be up to 96% cheaper than traditional #TreePlanting programs. The work is published in the journal Nature Ecology & Evolution.

    "School of the Environment Ph.D. candidate Jiaqi Li said the team mapped how the costs and benefits of natural regeneration varied across the tropics.

    " 'Nature is a great gardener. Sometimes we just need to get out of its way while providing a bit of support,' Li said.

    " 'For tree planting, you need to purchase seeds and hire workers or recruit volunteers to plant and manage them, which is costly.

    " 'For natural regeneration, people just need to check the land for #InvasiveSpecies and remove them, make sure there are adequate seed sources, provide protection from fire, #GrazingAnimals and humans, and then it is mostly self-sufficient.

    " 'In many cases of natural regeneration, studies show that you can end up with a forest that could store more carbon and is more #biodiverse than a planted forest.' "

  12. Many cities buried urban streams. Here’s how to bring them back

    "Daylighted streams now pass through residential areas, parks and public spaces. Paths, small bridges, seating, playgrounds and recreational areas accompany many of them...."

    "... Together, however, the projects form a distributed network that improves watershed function, connects habitats and gives neighbourhoods greater access to water. "

  13. My best-guess ID for this #caterpillar, encountered yesterday afternoon on the sidewalk, is the Yellow Woolly Bear, larva of the Virginia Tiger Moth (Spilosoma virginica). This is based on the lazy method of asking AI to identify the photo, plus looking it up in an actual book, my trusty Peterson's Field Guide to the #Moths by Beadle and Leckie (2012 edition).

    ein kurzflügelkäfer,

    Platydracus stercorarius
    de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Platydra

    leider nicht ganz scharf geworden, die sind immer so hektisch, halten nicht still für ein bild.
    die orangen milben auf dem rücken kenne ich sonst von aaskäfern, die verwenden die als taxi zum aas, das könnte uns etwas über die ernährung verraten... frisst aber kein aas sondern fliegenlarven, und die gibt es dort ja
