Most #bumblebee species native to cooler/temperate regions historically tended to be univoltine - they produced only one colony/generation per year. However human caused #climate heating is now impacting upon this norm.

Biodiversity monitoring: Data from wildlife camera traps to the Atlas of Living Australia

"The Wildlife Observatory of Australia
(WildObs) is a national initiative transforming how Australia collects, processes, and shares data from wildlife camera traps. It brings together artificial intelligence, field monitoring standards, and open data infrastructure to create an end-to-end platform that supports large-scale biodiversity monitoring and ecological research. By streamlining the management of camera trap data—from image collection to analysis—WildObs aims to improve the consistency, accessibility, and scientific value of this rapidly growing data source." >>

A new dataset sees verified images from wildlife camera traps available in the Atlas of Living Australia (ALA).>>

Brown Hare

Your animal break of the morning: photo I took some time back of a little baby bunny in the backyard. The offspring of this rabbit or his/her siblings have moved up to the hillside and only come in the yard now when the dog is not around (although he knows not to chase little bunnies...they don't trust him) #AnimalHour #animals #wildllife

Turning a blind eye to roads and dogs in koala conservation

In the early 1900s farmers, hunters and government officials opened the koala-hunting season. Now the extinction of the koala is driven by land clearing, sprawl, vehicle crashes, dog attacks and logging.

The framing of (koala) conservation stops where human habitat and their mobility design (roads to everywhere and speeding vehicles) fragments the habitat of the endangered wildlife.They haste from the remaining refuge island to to the next refuge island. If the speeding vehicles won't smear them across the road, they end up mauled by introduced roaming carnivores.

Roadkill - extinction by design
"Wildlife Road Awareness (WIRES) has reported a 20 per cent increase in the number of roadkill incidents across NSW in 2023."
"The problem was made worse by increasingly dry conditions in some areas of the state. This was because wildlife may need to cross roads to reach water sources or, when other food sources ran dry, macropods such as kangaroos and wallabies were attracted to the green ditches beside roads for food."

The Three Musketeers at dawn! #fridaymorning #wildllife #deer

Malaysian False Pimpernel (Lindernia crustacea).

A moisture loving, ground hugging, mat-forming #herb, bearing dainty pale blue-purple #flowers

Found in wetlands, and urban habitats, thickets can be spotted growing in pavement cracks, in the parks and gardens of #Mumbai.

Native to tropical #Asia, but found growing in most parts of the world, including #Africa, and the #Americas.
