Sea star wasting syndrome killed billions of stars, including sunflower stars. Thanks to a cohort of scientists, a cause of the syndrome is now identified. Each day, new science is emerging that will help us in our efforts to restore the population!

Learn more about the syndrome and why these creatures are essential for the ocean we love.

For a sea star, this animal is a voracious predator.

the amethyst sunbird, sometimes known as the black sunbird, is a passerine bird native to the afrotropics. they can make themselves at home in a diverse array of habitats, and are common in woodland, mesic savanna, and even suburban gardens. they occur more sparsely in dry areas, as they need plentiful nectar-bearing plants to thrive. their diet is almost entirely composed of nectar, insects, and spiders; the unique curved bill, a characteristic of sunbirds, allows the birds to more easily access nectar within flowers. they are sexually dimorphic, with males being primarily black with iridescent patches, and females being primarily brown streaked with buff markings. during the breeding season, the female works to build the nest, often in a eucalyptus or pine tree; they are typically attached to a drooping branch or hidden by foliage. nests are constructed of long, thin grass stems, held together with cobwebs. only two eggs are laid per clutch, but multiple clutches may be laid in one breeding season. subpopulations of amethyst sunbirds show variations in their resting metabolic rates, basal metabolic rate, and thermal neutral zones based on individual subpopulations’ acclimation to different altitudes. the birds more acclimated to high altitudes have lower metabolic rates and a larger thermal neutral zone. this means that, when needed, the amethyst sunbird is capable of altering their physiology in response to altitude & temperature to reach the ideal metabolic rate & temperature regulation for them to thrive in their environment.

Nicky in his Disappointed Mom era:

When your husband, who has practically been in your skin 24/7 for the past 900+ years, gives you a bro hug and ditches you in one of the most romantic cities in the world to be "alone". Nobody can convince me that Nicky wouldn't remain salty forever about this:

Joe: "I love being in Paris with you. *proceeds to quote the most romantic French scripture that reminds him of his husband*

Nicky: "You sure you don't want some time to yourself?"

Joe: "... Nicolo that was 300 years ago, I said I was sorry!"

Nicky: *angry Italian muttering*

I am mildly obsessed with the way Nicky's body goes from swaying gently to completely stock still when Joe says he's thinking of having some time alone.

Like Nicky is vibing, Nicky is asking his beloved where he wants to go with his time off, he's rocking, swaying, they're in Trieste, maybe they take a little Italian vacation, he's flirty, he's carefree, Nicky is feeling gooood.

And then TIME ALONE?

TIME ALONE????????

Just completely freezes. Body goes into shock. SHUT DOWN, ALARM BELLS, SNIPER MODE.

Insane thought Joe remotely thought he had a chance of getting away with this

These circles are stationary

Thanks I hate it.

Checked with a ruler and took screenshots - the circles are completely stationary. The effect is also not generated by the arrows, rather by the oscillating color.

The rings have 1px wide borders that oscillate out of phase with their interiors, and your eyes perceive the phase shifted borders as moving edges. It’s really neat, our optic nerves have specific hardware for edge detection and this gif fools it!

Also if I look away from the gif and stare at a spot, the gif looks really trippy in my peripheral vision. A++
