The Wild: What L A s dry winter means for wildflowers

By Mary Forgione California’s deserts can be magical during wildflower season. This probably isn’t one of those years, and it has nothing to do with our pandemic cancel culture. The traffic-stopping orange poppies from Lake Elsinore to the Antelope Valley likely will be no-shows because the fall-winter season has been drier than usual. “Nothing is blooming at all,” Death Valley National Park spokeswoman Abby Wines said in an email. “Usually, bloom on the valley floor is mid-February through early April. Given that nothing is blooming yet, and that we didn’t have much precipitation in the fall and early winter, it will not be a spectacular bloom.”

A tiny spider can spin different types of web for land, air and water

Darko Cotoras An island spider decides which of its three kinds of webs to make depending on location and perhaps individual preferences. Spiders usually make only one kind of web, but the Wendilgarda galapagensis spider – which lives exclusively on Cocos Island, about 550 kilometres off the western coast of Central America – can make three different webs. Advertisement High above ground it makes “aerial” webs attached to nearby stems and leaves. Nearer to the ground it makes “land” webs with long horizontal strands secured between branches and with a series of vertical strands anchored to the ground. Finally, over pools it makes “water” webs that are a bit like the land webs, but with the vertical strands attached to the water surface itself.

A census of sea slugs is helping scientists to track climate change

Australia isn’t the only place using sea slugs to learn more about climate change. A particular species, the Hopkins’ Rose nudibranch, turned California’s central and northern coastline pink a few years ago. Researchers from the California Academy of Sciences, UCSB, UCSC, and Bodega Marine Laboratory began tracking the unusually high distribution of this bright pink sea slug in January 2015. Though Hopkins’ Rose nudibranchs are a common sight in southern California, it is unusual to see them in significant numbers further north, as the water temperature is usually too cold to sustain large populations. The presence of this particular species of sea slug is thought to be indicative of major climate shifts, and unexpected population booms could be used to measure future changes.
