Dr. Katharine HayhoeOvernight, the world agreed to a "Paris Agreement" for biodiversity! It's the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework and its goals aren't expressed in degrees of warming but rather in land and water protected: 30% by 2030 globally.

Mastodon MigrationNotice To New Users
Welcome. You will love Mastodon.
As you know, you need to join a server, also called instance, and there are thousands to choose from. It DOES NOT MATTER WHICH SERVER YOU JOIN, you can still communicate with everyone. Bigger instances may be a little slower right now because of all the #NewUsers, so consider a midsize or smaller instance with under 20,000 users to spread the load.
Here is a list of larger and midsize instances >>> https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1hN-0bNfjaV7UTuLP6eudmXCNNPdeNQoFtbfcqxl4FFQ/edit#gid=0

William WagnerA plains spadefoot toad (Spea bombifrons) from near Ogallala, NE.
Two (possibly dumb) questions from someone who hasn't quite figured out Mastodon:
1. Is it possible to follow posts on two servers? I didn't really understand the system at first and made accounts here and at flipping.rocks... And I like them both! Can I combine them somehow in my local timeline?
2. I'm using Tusky and can't figure out how to see my follows/followers. What obvious thing am I missing?? 😆
Thank you!!

hanOne of the coolest things I saw this year? It’s gotta be the tadpole of Microhyla borneesis living, growing, metamorphosing INSIDE Nepenthes ampullaria, a pitcher plant that appears plays host to this tiniest of frog species from the Bornean rainforest. As a detritus specialist, N. ampullaria appears to be the only known vegan pitcher plant that provides a key nursery to this frog. #nature #herps #plants #borneo
Dr Jess McLaughlin (they/them)Rainy season here in the Bay means the #salamanders are out in force! Found this little California slender salamander under a log on campus today.
I have no amphibians to post at this time of year, so instead here's an absolutely nuts tree/vine situation from a walk in my back woods. I've never seen a tree with love handles before. 😁
