Rare spider photographed at new site
Britain's rarest spider, the Horrid ground-weaver (Nothophantes horridus) has been found alive and well - and photographed - at a new site in Plymouth. This is the fourth known population of the spider, whose protection has been in the spotlight with a 2015 appeal raising £10,000 from the public towards the protection of its habitat.

Positive effects of Devon beavers?
The Guardian reported last weekend on the flood management effects of the small beaver population resident near Okehampton in Devon. The beavers have constructed 13 dams on a 150 metre stretch of water, improving water quality and increasing biodiversity.

...and finally: animal love
With Valentine's Day just passed, here's a quirky glimpse into the mating habits of eight different animal species, from Russ Mittermeier of Conservation International.
