An international team of scientists has recently found that non-native species are expanding their ranges many orders of magnitude faster than native ones, in large part due to inadvertent human help. Even seemingly sedentary non-native plants are moving at three times the speed of their native counterparts in a race where, because of the rapid pace of climate change and its effect on habitat, speed matters.

getty imagesWords are funny things. They are symbols, which means that, in the right writer’s fingertips, they become passageways to other times and worlds and lives. But words are also sounds: our tongues roll out l’s and hiss sibilants, and when our mouths dance them into life, our words, just for a moment, become solid.
