Hi everyone, sad to leave but I’m migrating as well to the ‘place of joy’ on the other side #Bluesky 🦋 (bsky.app/profile/yeewen…) see you there! nature.com/articles/d4158…

Visiting the Singapore Botanic Gardens? Swing by the Botanical Art Gallery for the captivating exhibition “In Green” to see Japanese artist Asuka Hishiki's watercolour and pencil works from now until 15 Nov 2026! ⏰: Open daily from 9am – 6pm (closed on the last Thu of the month)

Can't recommend the current exhibition at the Garden Museum in London highly enough. 18th century Chinese botanical art commissioned by John Bradby Blake and painted by Mak Sau.

Mature rufous-scarlet fruits of Iodes cirrhosa Turcz. (#Icacinaceae) from Singapore today (collected and brought in by Xin Yi Ng, her excellent Flickr account worthy of a very long perusal: @N06/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">flickr.com/photos/8990664… ) #climber #botany #tropics

Tahun 2026 jumlah spesies burung yang tercatat sebanyak 1.834 spesies, dengan 538 di antaranya endemis. Sulawesi menjadi wilayah dengan spesies endemis terbanyak, disusul Maluku dan Jawa-Bali. Di balik angka yang stabil, ada perubahan penting, yaitu penambahan dan pengurangan spesies akibat pembaruan kajian ilmiah. Ini menegaskan bahwa meski pengetahuan terus berkembang, ancaman seperti hilangnya habitat dan perburuan masih nyata. Data terbaru dapat menjadi dasar penting untuk upaya konservasi ke depan.

Another bumper harvest coming soon !!! straitstimes.com/asia/se-asia/h…

@timutteridge @nparksbuzz I must go and 🔭 the bird before it's gone 😅

At least this is the 3rd published sighting of the Malayan Tapir in #Singapore! While recorded mainly in Peninsular Malaysia, sightings in 🇸🇬 are getting common and it reflects a lot of the quality forests 🇸🇬 is nurturing ❤️ straitstimes.com/singapore/rare…

@timutteridge S.T.O.R.M. indeed 😅🤣🤣🤣🤣🙏🙏

After six days of strategising (post-it notes everywhere), time to relax with a couple of highballs and one of the best ‘ham and cheese’ (ok pork cutlet) I’ve had …rather cosmic combo as meals go…Ma Maison #Singapore

Paul R. Ehrlich, author of The Population Bomb, has died, a great scientist, biologist, and naturalist who helped shape the world’s thinking Many will remember him first for The Population Bomb, hugely influential, fiercely debated, and impossible to ignore. But that was only one part of a much larger scientific life. Paul was a leading figure in population biology and conservation, and he helped shape the field of coevolution. Yet Paul was also, in the deepest sense, a naturalist. Originally trained as an entomologist, he began as a butterfly researcher, and that grounding in close observation of living systems remained with him throughout his career. Even when he addressed the largest planetary questions, his thinking was rooted in biology and in the natural world itself. What I will remember most is not only the scale of his influence, but also his intellectual courage. He was willing to say what he believed the science demanded, even when it was uncomfortable, controversial, or unwelcome. Many debated his conclusions, and that too is part of his legacy. But no one can deny the force of his contribution. He helped ensure that biodiversity loss, ecological limits, and humanity’s pressure on the living world could not simply be pushed aside. Scientists of Paul’s kind are rare. He did not merely add to knowledge; he altered the terms of debate. The news of his passing was not unexpected. At 93, Paul had lived a rich and full life. Still, I write this with sadness. I had the privilege of knowing him as a fellow scientist working in much the same intellectual terrain, and I experienced his work not as a distant reputation, but as part of the living fabric of our field. Hearing of his death brought back fond memories of a birding trip together in the Oaxaca region of southern Mexico many years ago, and our shared joy when we saw the endemic and beautiful Red Warbler, an iconic and much sought-after species of those mountains. The legacy of Paul Ehrlich endures not only in science, but in the way the world thinks and talks about human population growth, biodiversity, and humanity’s place within nature.
