Palm oil is bad for wildlife great and small: study Palm Oil Detectives

#Palmoil plantations have an overall negative impact on #biodiversity, according to research released this week. The #study, published in Nature Communications, found palm oil plantations are home to fewer insect species than even intensive rubber tree plantations. A forests expert at James Cook University, Bill Laurance, said of the research: “The big message is that oil palm is bad for biodiversity, in every sense of the word — even when compared to damaged rainforests that are regenerating af

Large herbivores, like elephants improve tree diversity Palm Oil Detectives

A recent study using satellite data has highlighted the critical role that large herbivores play in promoting tree diversity in forest ecosystems. The research showed that areas with abundant large herbivores had more varied tree cover and more tree diversity. This finding underscores the importance of large herbivores in many ecosystems and that they should have primary importance in conservation strategies, particularly in the context of global efforts to combat climate change and extinction.

Tanzania’s first official wildlife corridor links savanna elephants to rainforest

African savanna elephants in southern Tanzania have an unusual habit: They climb mountains. Up to 1,000 of the pachyderms spend part of their time in the Udzungwa Mountains, clambering up and down steep slopes that are clad in lush, closed-canopy rainforest. “They go everywhere,” said Trevor Jones, director of strategy and development at the Southern […]

💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🐘🦻 #Elephants can hear messages sent through ground vibrations from more than 10 km away using bone conduction. A #study found that elephants’ larger middle ear bones transmit low-frequency vibrations to the cochlea more effectively than human #ears. A special #muscle may also let elephants voluntarily close their ear canals, potentially boosting sensitivity to infrasonic #sounds by up to 30 times. 👉 https://www.zmescience.com/science/news-science/elephants-may-hear-messages-through-ground-vibrations-from-more-than-10-kilometers-away/ #hearing #infrasound #animals #communication #anatomy #science #biology #zoology #wildlife #harvard

Elephants May Hear Messages Through Ground Vibrations From More Than 10 Kilometers Away

Elephants may hear messages traveling through the ground from more than 10 kilometers away, thanks to massive ear bones and a muscle that can shut their ear canals.
