1. Rescue Dog Who Helped Raise Dozens of Foster Puppies Finds Forever Home

“Three and a half years ago, Noel arrived at Lucky Dog as a pregnant pooch pulled from [an] animal control shelter. […] Once the puppies were old enough to start life on their own, Lucky Dog found homes for all of them. […] Noel was an "amazing mom" to over two dozen foster puppies while staying at [a foster] house.”

2. Radiant cooling device uses significantly less energy than traditional air conditioning

“Testing of the device […] showed the cooling device capable of cooling the skin by approximately 7.3°C. It also showed that it consumed 50.4% less energy than an average air-conditioner of comparable ability. The research team notes that the device can also be run in reverse, to serve as a radiant heater.”

3. How a Native elections official is breaking down voting barriers in Arizona

“Gabriella Cázares-Kelly, Pima County Recorder, [… ran for office in 2020] to represent people who were being ignored by the democratic system and denied the right to vote. […] “People started getting the voter registration cards back, getting their voter IDs in the mail, and they were so excited to show me or thank me for helping them register,” she said.”

4. Scientists are growing [coral] babies in a lab to save animals from extinction

“Each August, corals in Florida release their eggs and sperm into the water[, … but “they] can’t reproduce on their own anymore.” [So, researchers are] collecting and freezing the spawn and growing them into genetically diverse baby corals that can be replanted into the wild[….] These resilient corals could pass important adaptations to their babies[….]”

5. New Legislation Will Accelerate Offshore Wind Energy in Delaware

““The responsible development of offshore wind and the transition to renewable energy is essential for the protection of wildlife, habitats, and communities from the havoc of climate change[….]” “This legislation is the product of careful consideration and input from multiple state agencies, industry experts, energy researchers and environmental advocates[….]””

6. Removal of Apache Trout from Endangered Species List Due to Collaborative Conservation Efforts

“[A]fter more than five decades of recovery efforts by federal, state and Tribal partners, […] the restoration of Arizona’s state fish marks the first […] trout delisted due to recovery, a significant conservation success[….] The Apache trout is found exclusively in streams of the White Mountains in the eastern part of Arizona […] and is sacred to the White Mountain Apache Tribe.”

7. [Texas] State court rules Austin must release files on police complaint

“Under the act, records of any complaint – even if no disciplinary action was taken – must be handed over to the civilian-led Office of Police Oversight. [… T]he ruling ushers in a new level of oversight of the complaint process and the department writ-large.”

8. Super-rare hairy-nosed wombat caught waddling through a woodland in Australia

“Ecologists at Australian Wildlife Conservancy (AWC) say the video footage provides exciting evidence wombats are breeding in the refuge again. […] There are only 400 of them in the world, making them rarer than the giant panda and the Sumatran tiger. […] “Although this isn’t the first joey born at the refuge, it is the first juvenile spotted for a few years.””

9. The country’s biggest electric school-bus fleet will also feed the grid

“[The] country’s first all-electric school-bus fleet[,…] which serve the district’s special-needs students, […] can charge with low-cost power and discharge spare capacity at times of grid stress[…. V]ehicle-to-grid charging is something for which electric school buses are particularly well suited.”

10. The Push to Save Horseshoe Crabs Is Gaining Momentum

“Conservationists hope new restrictions on harvesting and synthetic alternatives to a crab-blood compound used in biomedical testing can turn the tide for the ancient arthropods, whose eggs are a vital food source for Red Knots [threatened migratory birds]. […] Now conservationists are in the thick of a multi-pronged push to save both species.”

I wanted to reread Migrations by Charlotte McConaghy earlier this year, but then I discovered that she was Australian, and so I saved it until my trip, buying a new copy with a gorgeous ocean-rooted paperback cover from Better Read Than Dead, a bookstore in the Sydney suburbs. I didn't get to it while still down under, but I decided to start my reread earlier today, still infected with a drive for conservation that the reefs, rainforest, and zoos instilled in me.

On reread, the book made me cry several times over. When I was first assigned the list "Books that Break Your Heart and Put It Back Together Again" for Book Riot, this novel was the first I thought of. The swings of despair and hope in a world where nearly all animals have gone extinct, in a world where our unreliable anti-heroine is herself swinging between purpose and delusional loss, makes for an unforgettable novel. I am still so, so in love with this book on reread, enough so that I couldn't help but stay up well into the night to finish it, and loving it the 2nd time around means it officially passes into my favorites list.

A Record-Breaking Old Bean

ESP version ITA version

Can a seed be among the largest ever recorded in the fossil record, represent the first evidence of migration between tectonic plates towards the Australian region, and also be the only known ancestor of the Moreton Bay chestnut (Castanospermum australe)?

The answer is a resounding yes.

Who are we talking about? Its name is Jantungspermum gunnellii, a leguminous plant dating back to the Eocene period, approximately 34-40 million years ago. The discovery of this plant was the result of extreme determination and, perhaps, a bit of luck. Collecting fossils in southern Borneo is a considerable challenge: most of the surface rocks are constantly eroded by heavy tropical rains, covered by dense vegetation, and in many cases, overshadowed by buildings or agricultural land. Despite these difficulties, in 2014, a team of researchers collected three large fossil seeds from the seams of a coal mine in South Kalimantan, Indonesian Borneo, the largest of which measured 7.2 cm in length, along with 43 leaves and two pollen samples. All the material was brought to the laboratory for detailed analysis.

To the great surprise of the researchers, the seeds found appear to be ancient relatives of the Castanospermum genus, of which today only one species exists worldwide. However, this lineage hides further surprises linked to tectonic movements. The collision between the tectonic plates of Southeast Asia and Australia, which began about 20 million years ago and is still ongoing, has led to a significant exchange of plant and animal species between these land masses. During the Cenozoic era, the area was affected by two major geological events: the Asia-India and Sahul-Sunda collisions. Sahul is part of the continental platform of the Australian continent and lies off the coasts of Australia, while Sunda is part of the Eurasian plate. The contact and collision between these regions allowed numerous plant lineages from Australia to migrate to Asia. This is evident from the fact that species found in the Asian fossil records are also present in the older Australian fossil records, suggesting that these plants initially evolved in Australia and later colonized Asia, providing a clear temporal signal of the migration.

But could the plants have made the reverse journey, from Asia to Australia? The rarity of plant macrofossils from Sunda has so far limited the understanding of pre-collision vegetation and the plants that migrated from Sunda to Sahul. Evidence in this regard was scarce and mainly based on palynological and molecular data. Until now. The discovery of this seed has provided the first macrofossil evidence of a plant evolutionary line that moved from Asia to Australia. Since Jantungspermum belongs to the same subfamily as Castanospermum, we can also hypothesize how the seeds may have dispersed. Today, Castanospermum disperses its seeds using floating, salt-tolerant pods that can travel for kilometers in rivers and oceans, especially after storm events. The fossil seeds of Jantungspermum were recovered from the upper Tambak Member (a member is a part of a geological formation distinguishable from the rest of the formation by its lithological characteristics) in a coastal depositional paleoenvironments, probably brackish, suggesting that their pods traveled a significant distance, similarly to its descendants, from the riparian parent plant before disintegrating and releasing their seeds.

The incredibility of this seed does not end here. These fossils also represent the oldest legume fossils in the Malay Archipelago. Moreover, the seeds are among the largest ever recorded in the fossil record, excluding coconuts and some other palms. They likely grew in a pod that reached the length of a baseball bat and could contain up to five seeds. The name Jantungspermum gunnellii derives from the Indonesian word "Jantung," which means heart, in reference to the shape of the fossil seed. "Spermum" means seed in Latin, while the specific term "gunnellii" is a tribute to the late Gregg Gunnell, a vertebrate paleontologist formerly at the Duke University Lemur Center, who led the expedition.

There are still many stories buried beneath the rock, and sometimes, a small yet big seed can reveal one of them.
