An unrequited love story between an Andrena bee and Ophrys fusca 💔🌸 A classic case of sexual deception, where the orchid mimics female cues to attract pollinators, not always successfully.

The 2025 global data is now available: CO₂ continues to accumulate in the atmosphere, and temperatures keep rising relentlessly More: jgpausas.blogs.uv.es/2026/01/06/r... Data: @copernicusecmwf.bsky.social & GML-NOAA 🧪🌎🌐 #climatechange climatesky envsci

Graph on the relationship between atmospheric CO2 concentration (in ppm; x axis) and global surface air temperature (oC; y axis); data are annual averages from 1958 to 2025. The graph shows how both have increased during the study period. Obviously, CO2 is not the only cause of increasing temperature; there are other greenhouse gases.

🌿 Femeniasia balearica is an endemic species of the Balearic Islands that, until recently, was considered the same in both Mallorca and Menorca. However, it has now been divided into two different subspecies: one for each island.

The goal was to deepen the study of two unique coastal species: the dune endemic Silene migjornensis and the micro-area coastal species Diplotaxis ibicensis.
