  1. TLDR on Hurricane Lowell and Hawaii seems to be:

    Wait and See

    NWS Honolulu: "
    Attention will shift late Sunday into early next week to the forecast track of Hurricane Lowell, currently a category 4 hurricane and around 600 miles southeast of Lihue. The National
    Hurricane Center track forecast moves Lowell slowly westward through Friday night with an abrupt northward turn and increase in forward speed on Saturday. While confidence is low whether a direct impact will occur or not, Lowell will likely bring some impacts to the state including storm surge, high surf, wind, and rainfall impacts to portions of Hawaii, particularly as it moves closest to Kauai County Monday and Monday night. The extent of these impacts could range from minor to major depending on the eventual path of the storm, and more specifically when the abrupt turn to the north occurs. Regardless, Lowell is forecast to be a category 3 hurricane at its closest proximity. Coastal inundation
    could also be exacerbated by the peak monthly high tides that are expected to occur Monday. Interests in Hawaii should continue to closely monitor the progress of Lowell through the upcoming Labor Day weekend, listen to the advice of officials, and ensure they have their hurricane plan and supply kit in place."

  7. Beyond beauty, colour serves important functions for #frogs and #toads around the world
    communities.springernature.com paper: nature.com/articles/s41467-023

    "The study documents for the first time the importance of colour-based #thermoregulation, #UVprotection, and #pathogen resistance in #anurans... Thermoregulation and #UV-protection was generally of greater importance in temperate regions, and pathogen resistance was of greater importance in the #tropics."
