Bad Newts: Amphibians are in Serious Trouble

My colleagues and I have just had a paper published in Nature, based on our efforts to assess almost all amphibian species for the IUCN Red Lists. The major takeaway messages:

It is a bad time to be an amphibian

Two fifths of all amphibians are threatened with extinction.

Salamanders are the most threatened group; three fifths of all salamanders are threatened with extinction!

Climate change is a major driver of amphibian declines globally

Habitat loss, especially due to agriculture, is a problem for the vast majority of amphibians

Chytrid pandemics have caused and continue to cause catastrophic declines of both salamanders and frogs

Protected areas and careful management are working as strategies! They are actively improving the outlook of some species

As many as 222 amphibian species may have gone extinct in recent times; of those, 185 are suspected extinct but not yet confirmed.

Our paper is Open Access, you can read it here!

THE BOYS ARE BACK IN TOWN

[transingthoseformers]

No because the thing I've been thinking about in transformers one is how D-16 caught Orion

The immediate "oh shit" after Dee's shot hit him, the one intended for Sentinel

The way that you can tell that Dee really really really didn't want to shoot him, and he didn't know what to do

The way he was so immediately concerned for Orion

...

And yet

You see that process of him thinking about it

You see when he decided he was done helping Orion again and again

I forget which fic I read that had the line "D-16 caught him but Megatron let go" but HGHHGG I LOVE THAT I LOVE THE MOMENT THERE

You can tell when he decided he chose killing Sentinel over saving Orion, when he chose to become Megatron instead of staying D-16.

...But I still fucking love that initial "oh shit" moment when he was holding Orion...

I think Hoyo should announce in-universe that they will allow one singular "fuck" in Honkai Star Rail.

Boothill: Finally, finally! F-

Dan Heng: Fuck.

Boothill: FORK!!!
