    Fascinating study! Urban animals that thrive in our cities are smarter than their rural counterparts. Are they evolving to be smarter? #noisepollution
    The smarter the magpie, the better they can handle our noisy cities

    Went picking with a couple friends the other day and we found pine mushrooms, amanitas, puffballs and some magical specimens. When we got back, we googled what we thought were edible oyster mushrooms, and discovered that these were Omphalotus nidiformis, bioluminescent ghost fungus, highly poisonous but incredibly beautiful! We took this long-exposure photo in total darkness #bioluminescence #fungi #victoriaaus

    Locals taking action on light pollution to help migratory birds, great to see this! #shearwaters #lightpollution #phillipisland
    On a wing and a prayer, Phillip Island residents turn off the lights to give some chicks a chance
    https://www.smh.com.au/environment/conservation/on-a-wing-and-a-prayer-phillip-island-residents-turn-off-the-lights-to-give-some-chicks-a-chance-20230413-p5d031.html
    They use the moon to navigate – but in this migration 700,000 short-tailed shearwaters will rely on Phillip Island residents to help them find their way.

    Interesting article about deep sea mining. Seems like the momentum is ramping up, but so is opposition #deepsea #deepseamining
    The Mining Industry’s Next Frontier Is Deep, Deep Under the Sea
    https://www.wired.com/story/deep-sea-mining-electric-vehicle-battery/
