How does breaching a dike and removing a tide gate on a Pacific Northwest estuary let salt water back into diked pasture and bring juvenile salmon and sculpins into fields that had grown hay for decades?

Removing a single derelict tide gate on a Pacific Northwest estuary breaks a 140-year seal, lets salt water reclaim diked hayfields within one tidal cycle, and reopens miles of blind channels that juvenile Chinook, sculpins, and Dungeness crab colonize in their first migration season.

Alligators in Florida's Everglades dig depressions through muck and peat, often down to the limestone bed, during the dry season, and the water-filled holes they maintain concentrate fish, turtles and wading birds so densely that ecologists count them as critical dry-season refuges across the southern marsh

During the Everglades' dry season, American alligators excavate and maintain water-filled depressions in the limestone that concentrate fish, turtles and wading birds — a piece of animal-built infrastructure that ecologists increasingly treat as central to how the southern marsh works.

SN 1987A exploded 160,000 light-years away in the Large Magellanic Cloud and was first spotted from Earth in February 1987; nearly four decades later, the James Webb Space Telescope has finally caught evidence of high-energy emission from what appears to be the neutron star left at its core

Nearly four decades after SN 1987A lit up southern skies from the Large Magellanic Cloud, the James Webb Space Telescope has caught the first strong signature of the neutron star buried in its debris — argon and sulphur ionised by a hidden high-energy source at the centre of the remnant.

In 2011, a male wolf known as OR-7 walked from northeastern Oregon into California, becoming the first confirmed wild wolf in the state since 1924, and his descendants now form breeding packs in Siskiyou and Lassen counties more than a century after the species was extirpated

In December 2011, a collared Oregon wolf named OR-7 crossed into California — the first wild gray wolf in the state since 1924. His descendants now form breeding packs across five northern counties.
