The Black Death's counterintuitive effect: As human numbers fell, so did plant diversity
[Farmlands] were typically separated by woods, rough grazing lands and uncultivated plots, often enclosed by hedgerows or trees. [This patchy landscape resulted in high biodiversity.] The Black Death disrupted this by reducing human disturbance.

Metsäteollisuus kietoutuu fossiilikapitalismiin – puupohjaiset ekotuotteet ovat riippuvaisia öljystä, maakaasusta ja kivihiilestä, muistuttaa tuore tutkimus
Snellman ja Säynäjoki listaavat syyt, miksi metsäbiotalouden korvaamisnarratiivi on väärin. Korvaamisen sijaan metsäteollisuus on syvästi riippuvainen fossiilikapitalismista ja hyötyy siitä, he sanovat.

Water is bed bugs' kryptonite: The parasites avoid wet surfaces at all costs
[The experiment showed] that all bed bugs—males, females, old and young alike—avoid wet surfaces. [Smaller], younger bed bugs make a faster U-turn when they realize they're approaching a wet surface, showing the younger insects are more sensitive to water and dampness.
