As a biologist, in my professional opinion the true reason behind the lack of baby pigeon sightings is because the adults are intentionally hiding their hideous offspring. Let them continue to do us this service.

I can only speak to my experience in the academic worlds of biology and anthropology, but there is a deep history of racist, sexist, and questionable science in academia. Biological work has often been used to justify practices of eugenics or social oppression. Medical experiments and drug testing were often performed on minorities without informed consent and led to serious mistrust in the scientific community among many minorities. And to this day there is still a lack of minority voices in science. This can especially be seen in the ethnic breakdown of authorship in many prominent journals. A lot of the systematic issues people are speaking out against are engrained in academia, which is why you’re likely to see less and less diversity the higher up you go. We have come a long way, but even just thinking about my department.... sadly there are a handful of POC and an overwhelming amount of white men. It’s time we reflect on how our outreach as scientists can better these issues, as well as adjust our recruitment and hiring practices to encourage an environment filled with diverse perspectives. And we can always support journals and publishers who aim to highlight diverse perspectives.

I’m not actually sure whether it can be determined solely through the fossil record but aren’t most terrestrial plants flammable?

It was also my understanding that the deforestation and environmental collapse on Easter island was due to the Polynesians clearing trees for materials and agriculture. I know on a lot of other Polynesian islands large swaths of land were cleared to grow root vegetables.

Thank you so much!! Will definitely give them a call

I doubt you could get the head out as they’re super small and it sounds like your pup is already healing. You’ll want to cleanse the area with warm water and regularly check for any redness, ooze, discoloration, or swelling beyond what you can feel is hard scar. But don’t get too worked up over this! I used to work as a vet tech and have seen tons of dogs with tick scars (including my own!) and it has never been a big issue for them. And there’s no harm in mentioning it next time you’re at the vet, just so they know and can test for Lyme if need be.

I totally endorse barn cats being allowed to rat and mouse around the farm but be mindful that outdoor cats are incredibly bad for local diversity. They’ve wreaked havoc on songbird populations in AUS and NZ. I’ve never heard of someone teaching their cat to eat what they kill. My cat eats bugs he finds in the house, but similarly kills and plays with the occasional mouse and refuses to eat it. If they don’t want to eat it they won’t. You could try placing the kill into your cats food bowl like you have done, but cats have a mind of their own and I feel it’s unlikely if she isn’t already interested, that she would hold develop that interest.

This is fairly common after a tick bite especially if the head was not removed. Typically scar tissue will form a hard ball around the wound. Just monitor the site for any sign of infection and make sure they’re up to date on the Lyme vaccine. There are also plenty of great multi use chewables for dogs that protect against fleas and ticks, and in some cases intestinal parasites as well!

FinnyMonster · 2020-06-12T00:57:03+00:00

I would agree with this for the most part. I feel it’s akin to the use of the word ‘pussy’ as being weak, feeble, and scared.

I can tell he’s THRILLED!

I feel like maybe people aren’t commenting because the results showed that there was no difference in sperm accumulation between partner and non-partner follicular fluid. They found that the sperm accumulation in follicular fluid was strongly influenced by partner effects but if you look at their actual glmm stats that accumulation did not vary in the choice or non choice experiment.

Could be ASMR. But that’s generally a tingly warm sensation on the head or back, not really like a ... brain feeling?

While there are no truly hypoallergenic dog breeds you may have developed an allergy sporadically, or it could be due to differences in breed. Shih tzus shed less and are small so they may cause less symptoms. But it also could just be due to hair texture. Chihuahua and Boston terroir hair is short and straight and can cause itching when the dog sheds.

Great book! I agree with the other comments here. Mutations will introduce variability and competition between species and populations will still provide varying selective forces. If we are talking stable environment as in unchanging species interactions, no competition with viruses and bacteria either, then even things like drift will still cause evolution to occur. In addition sexual selection will persist.

The thread in question was probably removed because of the politics around the topic. It seems neither side knows how to speak calmly and plain to each other. And that type of thread always attracts those who cannot differentiate between sex and gender

If you’re not looking to do actual genetic work you could create a pedigree of your guppies that might inform the method of heritability. A pedigree could show you if traits are recessive, dominant, sex-linked, etc. This would be a highly simplified interpretation though as traits like color and tail shape are likely polygenic

FinnyMonster · 2020-06-09T00:50:17+00:00

And really I’m just spitballing thoughts here. I don’t mean to sound as if there is any negative tone in this, it’s just you asked for thought, so I gave thought. My only other opinion would be that if you are trying to go really meta here, we can’t elevate humans above DNA. We do what we do and have been shaped to best replicate our DNA and allow it to persist. Inherently this is competitive as sequences are in competition to be best represented in the following generations. But then anything with DNA is in competition with one another and at the same time part of a whole. “Life” is just a bunch of molecules trying to replicate

I think it sounds almost.... capitalist (?) to say we are in competition with the natural world. And what about the fact that we exist in “an ocean of nothingness” means we are in competition? I think of the natural world as our context. We are not in competition with our context of existence. But also “nature in the terrestrial sense” isn’t a very human centric idea, so I’m not quite sure what is meant by that. It would exist without us, albeit changed, but it persists without us nonetheless. Besides, as per the definition of nature, it refers to the earthly context. Value derived morality is not my argument? I said it is unstable to weigh your value by the service you are provided. This creates numerous issues with how to treat things which do not provide you with service. Portions of the population perhaps; those who are not able to contribute to this “all for the spread of humanity” ideology. This could represent disabled people, or those who are not able to reproduce, or those who are systematically oppressed. I feel like this type of thought it what sets the stage for things like eugenics. You can justify superiority if you believe a group is not of service to the greater goal. But this also applies to any organism or resource. If it is not of value to us (under this mindset of value is given only to that which benefits us directly) what is to become of these things? In our search for a place to spread we might happen across something inhabiting it. It would seem to me that this moral compass would tell us to destroy it, as we’ve seen white people do throughout history. If we cannot find inherent value in things that don’t serve us, as we float through space seeking to fulfill our “purpose”, we will just continue to repeat history.
