🦦 #Otters aren't just adorable - they're indicators of coastal health. This #WorldOtterDay, we're celebrating with a Topical Collection in @emt.pensoft.net, that puts local communities, fishers, and citizen scientists at the heart of #conservation: 👉 #OA collection: doi.org/10.3897/emt.... #WOD2026

Happy #WorldBiodiversityDay! 🪸To celebrate local action worldwide, we highlight @mapthegiants.bsky.social, a #citizenscience initiative mapping ancient massive #coral colonies, with results recently published in our #OA @natureconservation.pensoft.net journal: doi.org/10.3897/natu...

🐝Happy #WorldBeeDay! New study reveals an interesting mutualistic relationship between the myrtle rust fungus, a significant threat to keystone plant taxa in Australia, and the western honeybee Apis mellifera. Full #OA study in @neobiota.pensoft.net: doi.org/10.3897/neob... #biosecurity

🪸 Map the Giants is a citizen science project racing to document giant #coral colonies - organisms that have survived for centuries but face threats faster than researchers can find them. In just 18 months: 195 records from 22 countries, 133 already in the database. blog.pensoft.net/2026/04/15/t...

📽️A new #study reveals the hidden life of NW Pacific trenches, recording 108 species at depths of 4,500m to 9,775m through the analysis of 460 hours of #video across Japan, Ryukyu, & Izu-Ogasawara. 😲 Blog post 👉 blog.pensoft.net/2026/04/06/w... #deepsea #research #exploration

🎄 It’s a December tradition we truly cherish! 🤩 Once more, we welcomed the renowned Bulgarian #folklore ensemble: #Bulgare, to our Sofia headquarters! 🧐 Evidence suggests that their visit is a harbinger of another year full of achievements & good fortune! 🎉
