The #park of #CharlottenburgPalace #Berlin is #historically and #biologically significant. The #baroque #garden was first laid out in 1697 by landscape architect #SiméonGodeau, based on French models. Today's #naturalarea behind it is a haven of #biodiversity. In his article on #pioneeringresearch about Berlin's #urbanbiodiversity, G. Popkin (2023) summarizes the increasing interest in #speciesdiversity in #Berlin.

#Urbanparks, here #Rehberge park #Berlin, can be areas of high #speciesdiversity, despite the large #city conditions. However, parks do not only host urban #biodiversity, but also fulfill diverse #humanneeds. G. Csomós et al. (2023) conducted surveys about the use and perception of #innercity #parks in #Budapest, highlighting parks, i.a., as important for #socialinteractions.

A newly discovered sea creature species, Clavelina ossipandae, features panda-like markings and a skeleton-like body. Measuring less than an inch (2 centimeters), it gained attention online in 2017 and was dubbed the "Skeleton Panda Sea Squirt." Researchers confirmed its status as a new species through morphology and DNA analysis.

The white parts resemble blood vessels, while black markings on the head resemble a panda's eyes and nose. The scientific name reflects its skeletal and panda-like features: Clavelina for its genus, ossi for "bone," and pandae for its panda-like markings.

Species diversity may depend on their similarities, not their differences. A new theory suggests that species coexist by sharing traits that allow them to exploit the same resources, such as food and habitat. The theory challenges the traditional view that species diversity is driven by niche differentiation or the ability to avoid competition.
