Voilà, a weird illustration I made for the Nordic Society Oikos.
NSO is the ecological society of Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden. The society publishes four international journals, each of which is reaching a decade milestone.
Oikos is 70 years old. The Journal of Avian Biology is about to turn 50. Ecography is 40 years old. The Nordic Journal of Botany is turning 40 as well.
This quite clearly adds up to two centuries of scientific publishing. Happy birthday.
Possibly the most exciting ten minutes of my penguin-counting career, on an island 300 miles south of New Zealand: https://t.co/28msUIL0rT pic.twitter.com/hziV5Dl7HS

In one little corner of western New Zealand, a rather unusual thing happens every night. Here's a peek into the nocturnal world of the Westland petrel.

Over the past couple weeks I've repeatedly found myself under scrutiny by sheep on ridgelines above me. Every time, I hear this in my head.
