25、the University of Oxford have found that the way people use the Internet is closely tied to the seasonal movements in the natural world.

Mittermeier and his team surveyed

27、 nearly 2.5 billion Wikipedia search records, for 32,000 species, across 245 languages. They also saw variable search rates for insects, horsetails and flowering plants.

He commented, “I think theres a concern among con
