Three factors influence autumn leaf color : leaf pigments, day length, & weather. The timing of color changes & the onset of falling leaves happens as nights become longer, causing leaves to stop producing chlorophyll. A late spring or severe summer drought can delay fall color by a few weeks. A warm period during fall will also lower the intensity of autumn colors. A warm wet spring, favorable summer weather, & warm sunny fall days with cool nights should produce the most brilliant colors.

Every spring & fall billions of birds fly thousands of miles to reach their breeding & wintering grounds, yet some of the most basic details of these astonishing avian pilgrimages remain murky. In two studies published today in Movement Ecology, Nathan Cooper, research ecologist for the Smithsonian’s National Zoo & Conservation Biology Institute, & co-authors reveal new information about when migratory songbirds begin their long-distance journeys. #ornithology Veterinary Research, Global Weather, Save Wildlife, Night Flight, Georgetown University, Meteorologist, Tracking System, Short Trip

A new genus of butterfly, with dark, eye-like spots on its distinctive orange wings, has been named after Sauron, the arch-villain of J.R.R. Tolkien’s fantasy epic “The Lord of the Rings.” The Saurona butterflies are part of a group called Euptychiina. Found in the southwestern Amazon rainforest, two species have been identified in the new genus — Saurona triangula & Saurona aurigera — but there are most likely more. #entomology #lepidopterology Monarch Butterfly, Fellowship Of The Ring, Lord Of The Rings, Unusual Names, Climate Change Effects, Amazon Rainforest, Dark Lord
