I played a part in a biology experiment 😃
A student placed European dung beetles in a circular arena in the URANIA-Planetarium in Potsdam, and recorded the paths they walked under four different light conditions (no stars, stars, stars + Milky Way, and the previous condition with an additional lamp). It's to some extent a replication of Marie Dacke's famous paper, but with a different species of dung beetle (that doesn't roll dung balls).

Do dung beetles use the Milky Way to optimise their movement? - BMC Environmental Science
Background The navigation of flying insects is known to be disrupted by artificial light at night (ALAN), causing problems for long-distance dispersal. This attraction to lamps, also known as the fatal attraction, also leads to increased mortality.SpringerLink

Climate panel calls for action on food waste and train tickets - DutchNews.nl
A citizens’ climate panel has presented the cabinet and parliament with a package of measures that could cut greenhouse gas emissions by between 4% and 12%, according to an assessment by research bureau CE Delft.Robin Pascoe (DutchNews.nl)
Antarctica, long considered a remote and isolated region, is now showing signs of emerging diseases. Migratory birds and rising temperatures are introducing pathogens into previously untouched ecosystems. This study highlights the spread of H5N1 bird flu among seals and other animals. It underscores the urgent need for monitoring and early-warning systems to protect wildlife
