Lost and Found: A Story from Palmyra Atoll
You know that sinking feeling you get when you’ve just lost something valuable? That feeling of doom only intensifies when it happens while doing fieldwork in a remote location. And it doesn’t get much more remote than Palmyra Atoll. Palmyra Atoll sits 5degrees north of the equator in the Central Pacific Ocean and approximately 960 nautical miles south of the Hawaiian Islands.
Larger Beaks, Smaller Bodies: Could Climate Change Literally Change Birds?
When you think about how climate change affects birds, your mind probably goes to changing migration patterns, expanded northern distribution, or depletion of food supplies. But climate change may also be literally changing birds. Think longer beak sizes and smaller body sizes. Research published this year in in Nature Communications analyzed almost 7,000 non-migratory, terrestrial bird species, explaining why different species take a different approach to regulating their body’s core temperatures.

6 Great Reads on Birding, Fishing, Parks + More
A couple of years ago, my son decided he wanted to see a horned lizard. Horned lizards are undeniably cool, but they are also, in my experience, quite difficult to see. Nonetheless, we soon found that my son’s interest in hiking had risen considerably. Over the course of that weekend, we saw a rattlesnake, alligator lizards, a newly born fawn, and, yes, a horned lizard. Of course, having a quest – however small or large – can be what makes an outing. Or what makes a story.

How Can Fisheries Weather Climate Change?
In the small island nation of Kiribati, residents have a saying about sea level rise: “We’re not drowning. We’re fighting.” Surrounded by the Pacific Ocean, Kiribati is particularly vulnerable to the consequences of climate change, even though the country’s contributions to global greenhouse gas emissions rank among the lowest globally. Here, people’s lives are closely intertwined with the marine environment.
Cool Green Holiday Book Review 2022
The writer Sydney Lea was once described as “a man in the woods with his head full of books, and a man in books with his head full of woods.” I suspect this resonates for many naturalists, as it does for me. It seems that the love of natural history and the love of books are often inseparable. You don’t need to read to enjoy time in nature, of course.

Scenario Planning: Imagining a Healthy Future for Fisheries and Oceans
From managing natural resources to running a business, or even checking the weather forecast when packing for a vacation, having an understanding about the future helps us make informed decisions in the present moment. Yet, the process of understanding what the future holds, and then deciding how to act accordingly, can get complicated when that future is highly uncertain. For example, the impacts of climate change on our oceans present an uncertain future.
Meet the Bat Falcon, the ABA Area's Newest Bird
Sometime in December 2021, a wayward bat falcon turned up in southern Texas. First reported by Rebecca Gelernter on December 8th, in Santa Ana National Wildlife Refuge, the falcon caused a small sensation in the American birding community. Over the next few weeks, thousands of birders flocked to see the falcon, all eager to tick off a new species to their bird lists. Earlier this month, the American Birding Association (ABA) officially added the bat falcon to the ABA Area Checklist.
The Fight to Save Western Pacific Leatherbacks
Sand crunches beneath bare feet as the rangers walk along the beach. Voices muffled, they scan the tide line with flashlights, looking for the wide tire-tread marks left behind by a female leatherback sea turtle. The turtles that nest on this narrow beach are some of the most endangered leatherbacks in the world. But with little data about this population, scientists are hard-pressed to understand and mitigate threats to these turtles.
Oyster Hatcheries Help the Industry Adapt to Climate Change
If you’ve ever eaten an oyster, there’s a good chance it was grown by a farmer. American waters used to teem with wild bivalves, but centuries overharvesting, pollution, and disease have nearly wiped them out; in some areas, wild oyster populations stand at about 1 percent of historical levels. To continue to meet growing consumer demand despite dwindling wild harvests, bivalves are now predominantly spawned and grown on farms.
Savanna Fire Management Can Fund Africa’s Protected Areas
Africa’s grassland ecosystems are home to some of the continent’s most iconic wildlife: lions and elephants, wildebeest and cheetahs, giraffe, and zebra. As demands on the environment increase, protected areas are critical to ensuring that Africa’s wildlife and wild lands remain protected. But Africa’s protected areas are experiencing a financial crisis, with funding shortfalls in the billions of dollars each year.
Why You're Seeing Hummingbirds in Winter
While the first hummingbird sighting in the spring is always cause for celebration, the last report of autumn—or even winter—can be equally exciting, especially in the eastern United States. It’s a myth that leaving your feeders up will prevent birds from migrating. Instead, many experts recommend maintaining hummingbird feeders for at least 2 weeks after you’ve seen the last one in your yard. Other people prefer to keep feeders going well into winter, and for good reason.
Ranger Rick: A Garish Origin Story
Every biologist has an origin story. A series of events and people that move us along a path toward the study of living things. For me, reading about a “dinosaur fish” in a children’s nature magazine basically changed my life. I’ve always been interested in “creatures.” Snakes, frogs, insects, dinosaurs: the more unusual (and in many cases, underappreciated) the better. Growing up, I’d sit wide-eyed listening to my grandparents’ fascinating stories about Indian wildlife; cobras were my favorite.

But it’s also good to know that scientists still have a sense of humor, and that some scientific debates can be entertaining, educational, and accessible, all at the same time.
The Best Nature Documentaries On TV Now
In stressful times like this, I find the best way to keep myself sane is to keep myself distracted. And so in my house we’ve started watching nature documentaries every-other night, working through the long list of things we kept meaning to watch someday, while trying to bring the outdoors inside. Here are the best nature documentaries on our list… from volcanoes to ivory poaching, from coral reefs to tree rings.
Is Our Love of Pets a Conservation Crisis?
I’m jogging along a path bordering a nature preserve when I see a big dog galloping towards me. I pull to a stop, but an owner waves off my concern. “Don’t worry, he’s just a big teddy bear,” she calls. I suspect the wintering mule deer that live in the adjacent preserve don’t share this assessment. In fact, I’ve seen numerous “friendly” dogs and “big teddy bears” chasing deer here over the years. The deer often escape, but they burn calories that they need to get them through the winter.
Wild Hamster: The Intriguing Story Behind The Household Pet
I’m staring out the window again, seeking a burst of inspiration. The words are just not flowing. But fortunately, in my job, I can always look for story ideas in nature. And then, behind me, a sound like thunkety-thunkety-thunk turns my gaze. It’s my son’s new winter white dwarf hamster, named Diggy. While Diggy is most active at night, she often arises around mid-day for a bout of running on her wheel. As I watch this cute little critter, I start to wonder.

Pet Fish or Alien Invader?
Although dogs and cats are probably the most recognizable pets in the United States (and many other countries), did you know, by number owned, freshwater fishes are the most popular pets? At an estimated 139 million individuals, pet freshwater fishes eclipse cats (94 million) and dogs (89 million) and of course birds (20 million). That’s A LOT of fish! South American Tiger Shovelnose Catfish (Pseudoplatystoma fasciatum) caught in Louisiana’s Atchafalaya River.
Stalking the Elusive Shoal Bass
Guest Author: Amy Cottrell Editor: Solomon David The sun began creeping up over the tree tops and casting morning shadows and specks of daylight on the water surface, slowly lighting up more and more of the heavily vegetated creek bank. We paddled the quiet corridor, antenna rotating side to side in front of me as we eagerly awaited the all too familiar frequency signal.
The Amazing Ancient Fishes of Africa
If I mention African wildlife, undoubtedly images of charismatic megafauna come immediately to mind: giraffes, lions, elephants, rhinos. But Africa is also home to more than 3000 species of fishes, some of them wickedly cool species that are the last remnants of ancient lineages dating back more than 100 million years ago.
Angling for Ancient Fish
Among the most misunderstood groups of fishes, gars and bowfins were once targeted for extermination, but are now growing in popularity among both anglers and researchers. Today, science and conservation are trying to keep up with the fishes’ evolving reputation. Imagine a leviathan creature nine feet long, covered in armored scales, with huge jaws full of needle-sharp teeth; the animal swims through a slow-moving river before breaking the surface for a breath of air.
Jurassic World Fishes [Swimming Today]
Sharp teeth, bizarre shapes, gargantuan sizes, and a family tree that dates back over 100 million years…I’m not talking about dinosaurs, but ancient freshwater fishes! Twenty-five years ago today (June 11, 1993), Jurassic Park debuted in theaters. That date is fossilized in my mind because I recorded the trailer on VHS (wow, talk about ancient) and watched it over and over.
LaVar, Lonzo, LiAngelo, LaMelo Ball Generate Headlines, Facebook Video Views
The ever-present Ball family is continuing to find success in sharing its story on Facebook’s Watch platform. The debut episode alone has drawn more than 26 million views. The show was mentioned during a LaVar Ball spoof on Saturday Night Live. Last month, the Ball in the Family docu-series returned for Season 2 as 13 more episodes were ordered.
Jr. NBA Coach App Enables Coaches On All Levels To Use Best Practices
In 1990s Charlotte, N.C., Sonya Curry made countless trips shuttling her three children to and from sports practices and games with her husband, Dell. On Wednesday, some 20 years later, two-time NBA Champion and league MVP Steph Curry stood next to his mother and spoke to a gym full of parents, coaches and children about the impact his parents’ commitment to youth basketball has had on his career.

Report from the Workshop on Coregonine Restoration Science
Great Lakes fishery managers have the opportunity and have expressed interest in reestablishing a native forage base in the Great Lakes consisting of various forms and species within the genus Coregonus. This report summarizes the proceedings of a workshop focused on a subset of the genus, and the term “coregonines” is used to refer to several species of deepwater ciscoes (also known as “chubs”) and the one more pelagic-oriented cisco species (Coregonus artedi, also known as “lake herring”).
Gar of Thrones: Winter is Coming
Winter is Coming. Whether you live in the North American Midwest or Game of Thrones’ Westeros, it’s an ongoing theme with often ominous implications. Although humans have developed a multitude of responses to the onset of snow, ice, and dropping temperatures, many other organisms have adapted to seasonal changes in temperate climates in their own way.
Why Orlando Magic Launched In-House Creative Content Studio Based On Mascot STUFF
In the shadow of one of the world’s premier production studios, one NBA executive is working to build his own digital empire. Amar Shah, creative strategist for the Orlando Magic, is the founder of STUFF Studios — the Magic’s in-house digital production studio.

VAR Football Ushers In New Age Of Training With Holograms In College Football
As one of the youngest coaches on every sideline he inhabits, Austin James Smith has always sought to challenge the traditional way of doing things. In fact, Smith was barely older than his players when he began developing the framework for the company now known as VAR Football.
Conserving Chicago’s Lungfish Legacy
On Sunday, February 5, 2017, Granddad the Australian Lungfish, the oldest fish in any aquarium or zoo, was euthanized due to health complications. Although his exact age is unknown, he arrived at Shedd Aquarium in Chicago as an adult in 1933. Australian Lungfish (Neoceratodus forsteri) take over a decade to mature, so we can estimate he was over 90 years old when he passed.
When Is a Black Bear Actually a Blue Bear?
The American black bear (Ursus americanus) is a poorly named critter, because it’s not always black. In fact, its coat exhibits more color variation than almost any North American mammal. In some regions, black bears are more commonly various shades of brown. But a black bear can even be red, white or blue. Seriously. Unusually colored bears have long been the subject of legend and folklore. That makes finding stories about them easy in outdoor magazines.
