#InvertOfTheWeek:
Belonocnema kinseyi - a cynipid #wasp that induces plant tumors called #galls on the leaves of live #oaks & serves as an #EcosystemEngineer since the gall houses 25+ other invertebrate species, including inquilines, parasitoids, & hyperparasitoids.

In a nearly 30-year case study, federally protected gopher #tortoise populations in southwest #Alabama persist longer than populations with only state-level protections. Habitat loss remains the greatest threat - #OpenAccess zslpublications.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... #EcosystemEngineer

Can you tell the difference between an otter and a mink? 🦦

Otters are our Rewilding Species of the Month! Read our blog post about them here:

Build once, house many. Aardvark burrows turn into real estate for the neighbourhood, sheltering a parade of African species.

Our #volunteers spent a lot of time today collecting Marsh Lousewort (Pedicularis palustris) from the west side of the Valley where it grows in profusion. Nationally #Vulnerable, and #Rare in Oxon, it's a semi-parasite that reduces reed growth. #FenRestoration #EcosystemEngineer
