Using birds nests in museum vaults collected 100-150 years ago to understand what plants were growing at that time for the purpose of restoring San Francisco Bay’s transitional habitat. Researchers will be the first ever to sequence DNA from historical bird nests, pinpointing the specific species that once composed the Bay’s transitional habitat. baynature.org/article/the-nest

Have you ever wondered about slime molds? Just the name should spark some curiosity, or revulsion. Here's a very short article on slime molds in Bay Nature that packs a lot of info in a short one pager. Bay Nature is a fine nature journal oriented to the Bay Area but many things bay area apply to the west coast. I would frequently travel to the bay area for work projects and always found time to explore.
