good morning. I strongly suspect that we don't really know (or agree) what geographic ranges are, and therefore, our estimates of how species' ranges are shifting in the Anthropocene are uninterpretable. I wrote something about this: doi.org/10.1111/2041... and I'll share the main findings...

Measuring the edges of species' geographic ranges
The fundamental unit of spatial ecology is a species range: the geographical area that it occupies. Species ranges are delineated by range edges (also known as boundaries or limits). Why range edg...

If you ever wondered why visible light is those particular wavelengths, it's because life evolved to see in the narrow range where water is transparent

El Niño strengthening into unseen territory. The Niño3.4 region just reached a +3.0 °C anomaly (relative to the 1991–2020). Such a warmth has never been observed in September, and it's only a few hundredths of a degree away from the 2015 all-time record.

Another iconic symbol of overfishing: bluefin tuna (think million dollar Japanese auctions), is returning to British waters and all populations are rebuilding or doing well. So much better of a story than 10 or 15 years ago.

“Super El Niño” keeps showing up in the headlines, but what does it mean? Once sea surface temperatures in the central-eastern Pacific rise 0.5°C above average, an El Niño event begins. A “super” El Niño happens when surface temperatures rise by at least 2°C. Learn more: go.whoi.edu/super-el-nino

This is seismic news for fisheries scientists. Northern cod is *the* iconic symbol of total fisheries collapse due to overfishing (and other factors) *and* the iconic symbol of a complete failure to recover for decades afterwards. This is like announcing the complete recovery of bison on land.
