What I found difficult is the way they show extinction and by that give a very weird depiction of evolution (or a way to circumnavigate it?). The most "memorable" scene in that context was when the ancient reptiles out of a sudden couldn't feed anymore because all vegetation was tall-grown trees.

German wages rose last year by 4.2% in nominal and 1.9% in real terms, as inflation has subsided. This follows 2.9% in 2024. This will underpin consumption & growth in DE and EU this year.
The other side of the €coin: the wage level is only back to its 2019 pre-covid level.

Measuring predation in the wild is hard. @mherberstein.bsky.social

We compared wing damage, artificial replicas, and bird surveys in Australian butterfly communities.

Methods were complementary — together they better estimate predation risk.
