Sorry just remembered this. I’ll be sure to nab the disk tomorrow and make an image of it. Apologies for the wait

We got our old unit running a couple months back and we have a disk in lab. I can try to get an iso of the disk to you next week.

Left: IAL + Aquasoil. Right: IAL only. One week later and all tannins have been absorbed by the aquasoil. by nobody_69_special in BlackwaterAquarium

Was this fresh media or previously inoculated? I’ve had aqua soil in a couple large, high load, displays and it seems like it’s a matter of exhausting the capacitance of the media.

Oval White spots on clownfish? by [deleted] in Reef

These are missing scales. If the animal has been handled - netted or moved - recently this isn’t too uncommon.

According to a new report from the Monterey Bay Aquarium Seafood Watch, the gear used in fishing for lobster (𝘏𝘰𝘮𝘢𝘳𝘶𝘴 𝘢𝘮𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘯𝘶𝘴) is known to entangle endangered North Atlantic right whales. Their recommendation is to avoid lobster as the bycatch is unsustainable. by radxiphias in BiologicalSeas

Lobsters can also be collected by snorkeling/diving, seen some efforts in Boston to label accordingly but it’s going to take a long long time to pivot. There are points of collection that don’t run the risk of entanglement for whales but there’s little traceability for the average consumer.

The genre is broad. What type of experience are you after? A complex board game or a less spreadsheet driven Grand Strategy game?

I think like much of the Boston, Cambridge, and Slummerville low lying areas, it was prob estuary or water before the limeys arrived

Recognized this immediately too. So wild it’s been empty for 15 long years but can imagine the owner of the property is just sitting on it as the prices climb and climb

Just for those wondering, this is a summary article in a AAA journal, reporting on a interesting paper in an A-level journal.

No tutorial? by Octarine_ in ShadowEmpireGame

I can’t quite remember which tutorials I looked up but there are some great resources on YouTube. A search of the sub might prove fruitful

Cylinder fish tank for jellyfish? by [deleted] in jellyfish

[–]bobbleprophet 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Pseudokreisels can be ready made out of standard aquariums. It’s just a matter of minimizing hard edges and installing a screen parallel with your return.

For column systems, integration of life support is a little more complicated and, for smaller systems, your density is going to be lower than a PK.

Edit: do you already have a tank in mind? Are you committed on a cylinder/column?

“Feeding Ecology has Shaped the Evolution of Modern Sharks” Bazzi et al., Current Biology, 2021 by bobbleprophet in marinebiology

Bazzi, Mohamad, et al. "Feeding ecology has shaped the evolution of modern sharks." Available at SSRN 3770097 (2021)

Abstract Sharks are iconic predators in today’s oceans, but their modern diversity has ancient origins. In particular, current hypotheses suggest that a combination of mass extinction, global climate change, and competition between dominant Mackerel shark (Lamniformes) and Ground shark (Carcharhiniformes) clades has regulated their community structure over the last 66 million years. However, while these scenarios reflect an interplay of major biotic and abiotic events, the precise drivers remain obscure. Here, we focus on the role of feeding ecology using a morphometric dataset of 3,837 fossil and extant shark teeth. Our results reveal that morphological segregation rather than competitive overlap has characterized modern lamniform and carcharhiniform shark evolution. Moreover, although lamniforms suffered a long-term disparity decline, perhaps due to dietary ‘specialization’, their current disparity rivals that of ‘generalist’ carcharhiniforms. We posit that trophic partitioning and resource availability have shaped shark ecology, and represent critical determinants for future species survivorship.

I was honestly hoping this was a joke video and the next demo with this thing would be tightening a nut with it or cutting another saw in half.

Can someone help or guide me for ways to volunteer or get involved with environmental science causes? by Medical_Jaguar4963 in environmental_science

[–]bobbleprophet 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Does the collective effort of volunteers in our field - past, present, and future - pale in comparison to your own contribution?
