Did u know? The inside of our homes support helpful ecosystems, as well as the outside. For example, I'm happy to share my home with spiders who, in turn, keep fly numbers down.These teeny snails live on one of the succulents in my bathroom. I love studying them as they traverse their world. 🌿🌱🇬🇧🌱🌍🐌

Submitted a paper this week to Arctic Science proposing a new way to index collared lemming abundance in the polar desert. The method uses the urine marks lemmings naturally leave on plastic cards placed in their habitat for 48 hours. I call it the pee-card method! 🧪🌿🌎🦊 #wildlife #Arctic #North

For some reason, the word ‘literally’ is no longer a word we take literally. It has become its own opposite. In other words, it is now a contronym.
