Arachnologist Friends,<o:p></o:p>It’s my
pleasure to share that a field guide I co-authored—“Invertebrates of AlUla:
Scorpions, Spiders, Dragonflies and Butterflies” (part of the Fauna of
AlUla Field Guide Series)—has been made freely available in PDF format by
the Royal Commission for AlUla (RCU).<o:p></o:p>The guide
is available in both English and Arabic, with the aim of reaching a
broad audience. 
You’ll also find many other publications and field guides from different
disciplines available at the same link.<o:p></o:p>While some
taxonomic updates are already underway—particularly for the scorpions—this
guide currently represents the most comprehensive and up-to-date resource for
this historically important, yet previously understudied, region of the Arabian
Peninsula.<o:p></o:p>The
beautiful illustrations throughout the series were created by the talented Davina
Falcão, who brought all the featured animals to life with her art. If
interested, I leave here her website to appreciate her art! <a href="https://davinafalcaoart.com/">https://davinafalcaoart.com</a>.<o:p></o:p>We warmly welcome any

A newly released field guide titled "Invertebrates of AlUla: Scorpions, Spiders, Dragonflies and Butterflies" has been made freely available in PDF format by the Royal Commission for AlUla (RCU). Co-authored by an arachnologist, the guide is part of the Fauna of AlUla Field Guide Series and is available in both English and Arabic to reach a wide audience. While some taxonomic updates are in progress, the guide serves as a valuable resource for enthusiasts and researchers.

The geology of the Cascadia subduction zone has largely staved off climate-related sea-level rise in the Pacific Northwest, but that could reverse in an instant.

The article warns that the Cascadia subduction zone, which has so far mitigated climate-driven sea-level rise in the Pacific Northwest, could trigger "The Big One"—a catastrophic earthquake leading to sudden flooding and severe coastal damage.  

'The Big One' could rock the Pacific Northwest and fuel sea-level rise and massive flooding

The discovery of Eos, the closest known molecular cloud to Earth and one of the largest structures in the night sky, hints at the presence of many previously unseen clouds throughout the galaxy.

Astronomers have uncovered Eos, a massive, glow-in-the-dark molecular cloud located near Earth, which had remained undetected until now. The discovery suggests the potential existence of many other hidden clouds throughout the galaxy, reshaping our understanding of cosmic structures.  

'It's huge, and it's been hidden for this whole time': Gigantic, glow-in-the-dark cloud near Earth surprises astronomers

NASA's mission to Jupiter has revealed new findings about the giant planet and its volcanic moon.

NASA's Juno probe has uncovered fascinating new details about Jupiter, including intense cyclones on its surface, and its moon Io, which exhibits flowing magma and volcanic activity. These discoveries highlight the dynamic and extreme conditions within our solar system.  

Cyclones on Jupiter and a moon with flowing magma: NASA Juno probe's latest discoveries are awesome

A Celtic burial site from the Second Iron Age in France contains two rare, well-preserved swords.

Archaeologists in France have discovered two remarkably well-preserved 2,300-year-old Celtic swords at a Second Iron Age necropolis, one of which features swastika motifs—an ancient symbol unrelated to its modern associations. The find sheds light on Iron Age weaponry and burial practices.

Data from Europe's Gaia spacecraft have revealed that a cluster of 1,000 stars is breaking up much faster than is normal, stumping astronomers.

Astronomers are baffled by data from the Gaia spacecraft showing an unusual phenomenon—1,000 stars rapidly dispersing from their cluster at an unexpected speed, defying current scientific understanding.
