Four peppered moths on a rock. Recent research suggests that the famous case study of peppered moth evolution has a new twist: their intriguing coloration changes are driven by RNA molecules that don’t code for proteins. How common these cases are is still up for debate. Image credit: Shutterstock/IanRedding.

Woohoo! Publication Day! It’s finally hitting the streets, just like the plants it features. From walls to pavements, fallow waste ground, the grassy bits and street trees, it’s a celebration of urban botany and I really hope you enjoy it! www.bloomsbury.com/uk/urban-pla...

In destroying north Gaza's only surviving facility for kidney dialysis (no doubt claiming it was... Hamas), Israel has indirectly condemned to an agonising death countless patients. Another day another Israeli genocidal act. www.aljazeera.com/news/liveblo...

The rise in e-commerce has created a commensurate rise in demand for single-use paper packaging. Fast-growing, high-yield eucalyptus has become a popular choice for paper but farming communities in Mozambique are paying the price for cheap paper according to a Mongabay documentary.

[FOUNDER'S BRIEF - Rhett A. Butler]
Long before “biodiversity hotspot” became a conservation cliché, Alwyn Howard Gentry was painstakingly mapping them — one vine, one tree, one tenth-hectare transect at a time.
If you use the Biodivisity Heritage Library (I use it almost daily), you'll be saddened (and maybe angered😡) to learn that DOGE+Musk+Trump have eliminated its funding. BHL is looking for a new home. #ILoveBHL
So much f***ing winning.🤬

Change is in the air for BHL! In 2026, BHL hosting will transition away from the Smithsonian, opening doors to reimagine our future. Rest assured, our 63 million pages of biodiversity knowledge remain secure and accessible.
