Wow, this is huge.

The last known sighting of a kiwi pukupuku on the mainland was in 1978 but they have survived.

Little spotted kiwi found on NZ's mainland for first time in 50 years https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/national/567038/little-spotted-kiwi-found-on-new-zealand-s-mainland-for-first-time-in-50-years #nature #NewZealand #kiwi #extinction #biodiversity #goodnews

New horrors. The Biodiversity Heritage Library needs help. The Smithsonian Institution will end its support as of 1 Jan 2026.

This is the world's largest open-source archive for biodiversity literature and archives -- the place where you can find all the old, but still very useful, botanical literature, among other things.

Please share widely with your networks. #biodiversity #Archives #defendresearch #botany

A large willow tree growing on the bank of an oxbow lake in the warm afternoon sun. The tree grows on the left side of the photo and its crown occupies the upper left quarter of the frame. The trunk of the tree is slightly slanted toward the water. Behind the willow tree, a wide strip of old river water curves to the right in the distance. On the other bank we see some tall trees and a regular strip of low bushes along the river. Above this intensely green river valley a huge blue sky with white clouds.

Paper of the week - week 26:

Barot et al., 2017:

"Designing mixtures of varieties for multifunctional agriculture with the help of ecology. A review"

A bit of an older publication I still feature it here due to it's importance.

Macro of a very common moss growing in meadows. Tips and branches are visible.

Big natural sandstones in a garden covered with moss in early spring. The moss dries with the heat of summer and is revived by rainfalls in cooler days.

Moss on the bark of an old elder tree. The contrasts of sunlight and shadow show a landscape-like microcosm of bright green and wood.
