Cpt Zsuzsanna Bird Finding game-changing solutions to the crisis facing nature is the theme of the landmark Conference for Nature today, which features high-profile delegates including Sir David Attenborough, The Rt Hon Nick Clegg MP, Germaine Greer and key people from business, politics, the utility sector and conservation.
From the food we eat to the popular bedtime stories we read to our children, nature touches everyone’s lives more deeply than we can possibly imagine In May last year, the UK’s leading wildlife groups released the State of Nature report, which revealed 60 per cent of our native species are in decline and one in ten are heading for UK extinction.

Albino dolphin spotted in the Mediterranean could be one of just 20 in the world, say researchers. Marine researchers spotted the incredibly rare dolphin off the coast of ItalyThe mammal, thought to be a male, is good health according to experts There are only believed to be 20 albino dolphins in the wildBottlenose dolphins are normally grey in colour unless there is a mutation By Darren Boyle for MailOnline Published: 19:22 GMT, 27 August 2014 | Updated: 09:47 GMT, 29 August 2014 Marine researchers in Croatia have revealed how they have found a previously unrecorded albino dolphin, one of only 20 in the world.
The rare mammal - named Albus by the research team - was found in the Mediterranean swimming between Croatia and Italy. Experts say the dolphin - who they believe to be male - appears to be in good health. Marine scientists from Croatia discovered the rare albino dolphin off the Italian coast near Ravenna.

Parasites and Fungi That Terrorize Nature [Video] There are many parts of nature, such as parasites and fungi, spreading not just themselves and diseases to animals and bugs but fear to humans.

Nothing on the list has been confirmed to affect humans in any way. However there are probably some that would prefer these stay with insects and animals. These parasitic and fungal organisms take advantage of natural behavior to spread millions of spores or just a single egg, continuing to hitch along the circle of life. One of the most recent discoveries in nature involves a parasitic plant called strangleweed that not only attaches, but almost fully changes any food source.
Marmot Adorably Ruins Time Lapse of Glacier National Park. Greenpeace USA started out with really great intentions.
They set out to make a time lapse video at Glacier National Park in order to show the landscape in all of its glory, and to criticize oil drilling on public land.

Woods and Hare are on the board of the nonprofit Lola ya Bonobo, a sanctuary for orphan bonobos in the Democratic Republic of Congo. The authors contributed this article to Live Science's Expert Voices: Op-Ed & Insights. The only way humanity can save wild animals is to conduct experiments on the humans who decide those animals' futures. All conservation decisions are made by the human mind, but there is almost no research on human psychology as it relates to conservation. Scientists need a much deeper understanding of how people across different socioeconomic and cultural settings think about animals and wild places.
This week's special issue of the journal Science presents overwhelming evidence that humans are causing animals to go extinct faster than ever before. Conservationists usually collect and present facts. Can you show us that again please? For almost thirty years, David Stern has been obsessed with the fact that male fruit flies ‘sing’ to females.

Pues igual de destacable es la observación de una tintorera en nuestro litoral.

An ancient forest has thawed from under a melting glacier in Alaska and is now exposed to the world for the first time in more than 1,000 years. Stumps and logs have been popping out from under southern Alaska's Mendenhall Glacier — a 36.8-square-mile (95.3 square kilometers) river of ice flowing into a lake near Juneau — for nearly the past 50 years.
However, just within the past year or so, researchers based at the University of Alaska Southeast in Juneau have noticed considerably more trees popping up, many in their original upright position and some still bearing roots and even a bit of bark, the Juneau Empire first reported last week.

La flora del nostre entorn. How birds got their wings: Fossil data show scaling of limbs altered as birds originated from dinosaurs. Birds originated from a group of small, meat-eating theropod dinosaurs called maniraptorans sometime around 150 million years ago.
Recent findings from around the world show that many maniraptorans were very bird-like, with feathers, hollow bones, small body sizes and high metabolic rates. But the question remains, at what point did forelimbs evolve into wings – making it possible to fly? McGill University professor Hans Larsson and a former graduate student, Alexander Dececchi, set out to answer that question by examining fossil data, greatly expanded in recent years, from the period marking the origin of birds. In a study published in the September issue of Evolution, Larsson and Dececchi find that throughout most of the history of carnivorous dinosaurs, limb lengths showed a relatively stable scaling relationship to body size. Blue Whale's Earwax Tells Its Life Story in Chemicals.
