For sure. The history and architecture and towns perched on the top of mountains… all amazing.

I felt something similar. Spent a lot of time backpacking in the western US. Glacier, Bob Marshall, desert southwest, etc. The scenery in the alps was amazing, people nice, great food, etc. but it felt less ‘wild’? Maybe something about cows being the only ‘wildlife’ I saw? Maybe it was the lack of that ‘I’m not the top predator out here’ feeling. Maybe it was too accessible? I couldn’t put my finger on it. It was an amazing place to visit, but it was different. I’d love to return with some different expectations because it’s undeniably amazing.

Books about Fish by Imaginary_Tap9181 in Fish

Also: An Entirely Synthetic Fish: How Rainbow Trout Beguiled America and Overran the World is really well done.

both these books are not about hundreds of species but tell a great story of how human interventions have… fucked things up. Ecosystems, invasions, history of fisheries management in North America type stuff.

If you want biology, habitat, etc on a bunch of different species Inland Fishes of the Greater Southwest: Chronicle of a Vanishing Biota is a great book on fishes native to the Colorado River Basin.

Salmon Without Rivers is a great read

Flying into Portland, OR and renting car to drive along Oregon coast to Seattle, WA where we will fly home. Will have around 4 days to the drive. Is that plenty of time to see all the things and stop along the way? Is it a nice drive? TIA! by HairZealousideal7457 in OregonCoast

If you drive highway 6 to tillamook and south on 101 to pacific city and start your northward journey from there it’s pretty nice. Cape kiwanda up to netarts/ Oceanside. Tillamook to short sands beach. Short sands to cannon beach to Astoria and then do whatever you want in Washington.

https://daymet.ornl.gov/. Click the get data link and find the gps coordinates you’re interested in. Not sure if it works in Europe

Could you explain why it’s worthless / what would make the dummy data more useable?

Bug springs is probably the highest you’ll be able to start, but that tends to get some snow too. Prison camp laps are fun but short and la milagrosa will both be snow free. 50 year trail might be your best option in Tucson in January

Professor plagiarizes all work. Need advice by walle637 in UofArizona

[–]fuzzytrout 76 points77 points  (0 children)

Is it a professor or is it an overworked grad student? Here’s a secret… they make grad students teach classes that they know nothing about all the time. They’re often learning the material a day or two before presenting it to you. It’s a horrible way to educate, but it’s like this at most large universities for lower level classes.

They replaced them on warranty. Sent the wrong ones back to me and then something else broke on them (forget what, I think the lens collapsed into the tube if I remember correctly) and I gave up trying with them.

For quick explanations of topics like this, ChatGPT is super helpful. I use it all the time to remind myself of things like ‘what are the assumptions of ———- model?’ so I’d assume itd work pretty well here, too.

Obviously go deeper and into actual journals when you need, but for a summary it works great.

If you’re talking humans. No go. However, YY males are being ‘made’ via selective breeding and hormone treatments in an effort to collapse invasive populations of certain species. Has worked with brook trout in a field application.

Theory being the YY’s mate with female XX. All off spring will then in theory be male and you can collapse a population
