Surveying the body sizes of Earth鈥檚 living organisms, researchers from 蘑菇短视频 and University of British Columbia found that the planet鈥檚 biomass 鈥� the material that makes up all living organisms 鈥� is concentrated in organisms at either end of the size spectrum.

The researchers spent five years compiling and analyzing about the size and biomass of every type of living organism on the planet鈥攆rom tiny one-celled organisms like soil archaea and bacteria to large organisms like blue whales and sequoia trees.

At the recent COP 15 conference in Montreal, Canada committed to protecting 30% of its land by 2030, but which areas are most crucial to protect for at-risk species such as the spotted turtles?

滨苍听聽published in the Proceedings of the Royal Society, 蘑菇短视频 researchers overlayed maps of species at risk to find hotspots where many species live together. They found that hotspots often overlap.

Diane Dechief from the Office of Science Education and Stephanie Weber from the Dept. of Biology were among several 蘑菇短视频 instructors who recently gathered to share their ideas for fostering equitable and inclusive learning environments.

Many mammal species living in cold climates tend to have large bodies and short limbs to reduce heat loss 鈥� a general pattern known as Bergmann鈥檚 rule. However, bats are the exception to the rule, displaying small body sizes in both hot and cold regions. A 蘑菇短视频-led team of researchers is shedding light on this long-standing debate over bats鈥� body sizes and focus on why bats are seemingly non-conforming to ecogeographical patterns found in other mammals. Their findings offer a new method for investigating complex macroecology across bat species.

Using radio transmitters, scientists have gained new insights into the behaviour of medium ground finches in the Galapagos Islands. A study led by 蘑菇短视频 researchers reveals daily movement patterns covering an area equivalent to the size of 30 soccer fields.

, 蘑菇短视频鈥檚 Climate Change Artist-in-Residence, will curate the Faculty of Science鈥檚 Bicentennial Science/Art Exposition, billed as a 鈥渃elebration of science in all its forms鈥�.

The art show organizers are calling on all members of the 蘑菇短视频 community to submit works in any medium, expressing what science means to them.

The deadline for submissions is October 31, 2021.
