#Sulfur may be partly responsible for reddish feathers in barn owls on #remoteislands https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/jbi.14596 https://phys.org/news/2023-03-sulfur-responsible-reddish-feathers-barn.html
A small team of environmental scientists from several institutions in Italy and Switzerland has found evidence suggesting that at least some of the red plumage sported by barn owls on small, isolated islands may be due to the ingestion of sulfur. In their study, reported in the Journal of Biogeography, the group studied the preserved skin of thousands of barn owl specimens from multiple geographic locations archived in museum collections.
We almost moved to Tanegashima in 2020. In fact it was our first choice before we went to Ikijima. Still, this island has all the vibes of a remote island. Almost as soon as I got off the ferry it felt like time slowed down and relaxation set in. There are differences though... this place is much further south, thus different plant-life and Ryukyu influence. Very cool!

#Introduction time! I like breaking down the line between #communication and #education, especially when it relates to #ClimateAction. I'm currently doing #InstructionalDesign and #Production at #Harvard. I studied #journalism at #Mizzou and education at #HGSE.
I'm living in #Boston, but my heart is forever in #Antarctica and most of my spare time goes to polar advocacy projects like Antarktikos Magazine, True South (a flag for Antarctica), and #PolarPride.
