What can you do to conserve the birds and the bees, even in the face of climate change? In some cases, small actions, such as maintaining a pollinator garden or avoiding pesticides can be important. Take the rusty patched bumble bee, once one of the most common pollinators in eastern North America.

Argentine black and white tegus can survive the winter
Argentine black and white tegus (Salvator merianae) can survive the winter under semi-natural conditions well beyond their current invasive range.

Timelapse camera imagery of cheatgrass growing over time
Timelapse camera imagery of cheatgrass growing over time after the Mullen fire in southern Wyoming. These images provide precise dates of green-up, flowering, and senescence of cheatgrass which can be paired with local climate data to create phenological predictions.
