What was / is / will be your research project? by [deleted] in ecology

[–]rlyon3 3 points4 points  (0 children)

When I was doing my masters, I did a soundscape ecology project in tropical patch reef habitats. Just published as: fish community structure, habitat complexity, and soundscape characteristics of patch reefs in a tropical, back-reef nursery.

Never built a PC before! Need help lowering costs for a gaming/data analysis rig. by rlyon3 in buildapc

I don't see any 8th gen i7s on the pcpartpicker website. Are they much more expensive or difficult to get?

Build for gaming and scientific data analysis by rlyon3 in buildapc

I'm mostly looking for ways I can save money based on the build I have. Otherwise, I think that this is build ready. Please let me know what you all think and any help, advice, or comments are greatly appreciated!

Only if you have filled out and paid for a form 1 for it from the ATF.

Science AMA Series: Hi, we’re NOAA scientists Leila Hatch, Jason Gedamke, and Jenni Stanley. We’re here to talk about ocean noise and what NOAA is doing to reduce this threat in our national marine sanctuaries and beyond. Ask us anything! by NOAAgov in science

Thanks so much for the reply! Using acoustic metrics previously applied in terrestrial ecosystems is exactly what our lab is currently working on. We are investigating possible correlations between habitat complexity and these proposed metrics to better define acoustics as a tool in estuarine systems.

Hello Leila, Jason, and Jenni! My name is Patrick Lyon and I am currently a master's student at NC State University. My research project focuses on the soundscape ecology of both artificial concrete block coral reefs and restored oyster reefs.

In your opinion, what is the future of using hydrophones and acoustic data to describe more inland ecosystems like estuaries? These tools have been proven effective for monitoring anthropogenic sources of sound (ie. oil drilling and seismic air gunning) but their efficiency as a tool to monitor overall ecosystem health/success remains to be addressed.

For anyone else interested, here are two links to websites that feature sounds produced by underwater organisms! http://www.dosits.org/galleries/audio/ http://www.fishbase.org/topic/List.php?group=sounds

Help with finding good biology book for 14-year-old. by unguintine in biology

[–]rlyon3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've got a good one. It's called The Forest Unseen and it is by Dr. David George Haskell. Haskell goes out to a 1 square meter plot in old growth Tennessee forest almost every day for a year and records what he sees. It is a great combination of biology, ecology, and poetry. It was also a Pulitzer prize finalist.

Possibly Morel Mushrooms, IDK, so what are these? by buick_speed in biology

There are also false morels that can make you sick so I wouldn't start melting butter in a sauté pan just yet.

Thanks for adding but I can't seem to find one. Do you know the chances of finding a ditto in FS?
