With the cacophony over #Elephant #Arikomban, lets understand how such #elephants are 'made', and #conflict created. As per a #Kerala cabinet decision taken in August 2002, 559 families of landless tribals were settled on 276 ha land in #Chinnakanal during 2003. The then 1/9 
DFO (#Munnar) #PrakritiSrivastava objected: it was prime #elephant habitat & corridor, the consequences would be disasterous. Within a year, human-elephant conflict had escalated. Giving pattas wily-nily w/o w/o #forest dept inputs #wildlife consideration is best avoided 2/9
Day 3 of #BSP2023 begins today with our @SPPIRITnetwork ECR session! SPPIRIT is an excellent ECR organisation for parasitologists working in Scotland, but all ECRs will benefit from the expertise today in publishing & attracting funding! #parasitology
Here are the talks for today's @SPPIRITnetwork ECR session at #BSP2023! A big thanks to @CambridgeUP who are here in person as sponsors (so visit their table!). They are publishers of the journal "Parasitology" & an original sponsor of the BSP! cambridge.org/core/journals/…
Our 1st talk at the #BSP2023 ECR session with @SPPIRITnetwork is from @StothardRuss, Parasitology Editor-In-Chief with tips on getting your manuscript 'in press'! There is also a webinar available with tips from @CambridgeUP at #parasitology
В эти дни в Караганде происходит экологическая катастрофа. 4 февраля 2023 г. обрушился канализационный коллектор на Юго-Востоке (70% стока города) и его пустили в русло реки Малая Букпа. Сегодня сходил по течению, поснимал.
Тред. #Karganda #ecology #disaster
Тред. #Karganda #ecology #disaster
Обрушение главного городского коллектора произошло в зоне активной застройки, между старым районом "Малая Земля" (ул. Волочаевская) и Юго-Восточным массивом города. Вагончик аварийной службы стоит на старом русле Жартасского канала.
Жартасский попускной канал был создан в 80-х, его воду использовали в многоводные годы для подпитки водохранилища в Жартасе для того, чтобы поливать поля ниже по течению (Коксун и т.д.) Жители Орбиты и малой земли раньше в нём купались и даже тонули.
1/Friday we made it! We saw briefly/incompletely how #pollen #beetles preserved in #peat can shed light on long term #ecological change. There are other 'proxies' + the #peatland #archaeological record, esp rich in 🇮🇪, a remarkable 'archive' of past people/environments/climate
2/#Peat is remarkable for so many reasons, long regarded as of little 'use', now known to be an #ecosystem 'superstar' (TBD further tomorrow!) key for preservation of #Palaeoenvironmental + #Archaeological record. Photo: woody fen peat in auger @Calum_Sweeney_ @EcomuseumsLive
3/In this sense, we can think of #Peatlands as representing an intersection between how we understand long term #ecological change, #ClimateChange, human activity/impact + data key for #Conservation #Rehabilitation #Restoration of #Ecosystems Image 1: From Book Image 2!

Researchers have discovered the first known "virovore," an organism that feeds on viruses. Probably there are many others like it -- an entire, previously unknown food chain.
One day into 2023, and already things are going topsy turvy.

It takes a keen eye to spot a microbe grazing on viruses! Biologist John DeLong & colleagues tagged viruses with a fluorescent glow. Soon, several different types of microbes appeared to have chewed-up virus inside their little guts. pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

Cette étude est un compte rendu des facteurs à l'origine des premières étapes de la redistribution des espèces marines. Elle fournit des preuves importantes pour l'évaluation de la vulnérabilité des distributions des espèces marines au changement climatique.
Bon déjà les courants sont effectivement très important pour permettre la dispersion des organismes marins. ça facilite ou entrave les déplacements ! Donc un changement des courants (intensité et direction) aura un effet significatif sur la redistribution des espèces marines.

Braj is the most important place as the pastimes of Radha and Krishna took place here. Along with forests, and mountains, kunds have their own scriptural relevance.
In the present times, there is an urgent need to restore the Kunds. Inspired by the teachings of HDG Srila AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, Founder Acharya of International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON), and by the example of water conservation at @goecovillage

This applied trump card game is provided as an appndix to this #openaccess paper, and can be printed freely. Our goal is to help prospective ecologists to familiarize themselves with potential career paths, and academic mentors to provide better career advice of their students >>
We also wanted to demonstrate the diversity of career paths that exist in the ecology job market, and emphasize that although many of us want to find a faculty position, a career outside #academia is NOT a failure, but a choice, and the better choice for many #AcademicChatter >>

2/7 Spatially #fragmented #landscapes are very common, both naturally & through human activities.
In such landscapes, a combination of local survival and #colonization of empty habitat patches is key to species' regional persistence.

By integrating #coexistence theory and #metacommunity theory, we propose a mathematical framework to understand multiple species' coexistence in fragmented landscapes.

विशेष रूप से चर्चा हुई।इस चर्चा में नीति आयोग के सलाहकार डॉ वी के पॉल भी ऑनलाइन जुड़े।कई राज्यों ने एफ आर ए पर अपनी प्रस्तुति दी।इस अवसर पर मैंने यह आग्रह किया कि capacity building के साथ मंत्रालय जनजातीय समाज के अंतिम पायदान तक आम आदमी के लिए काम करें। यह मंत्रालय सिर्फ योजना

#UnionPolitics #Shillong #Ecology
General Secretary of the Meghalaya and Greater Shillong Progressive Hawkers and Street Vendors Association, Shane Thabah, informed reporters today that plastic pollution is unsustainable, with bags clogging drains, which can lead to localised flooding during the monsoon season.
Customers can help reduce plastic waste by bringing their own bags and if they do not have one on hand, the hawkers will sell them bags made from recycled cloth or other material for Rs 15.

How to survive the German (and other?) academic systems without having a permanent position?

#academia #IchbinHanna #ecology #academiclife
Background:
In Germany, it is difficult to get a permanent position in academia without the typical CV (eg reasonable publication list, period working abroad, being young) AND if you do not fit into the classical categories of research (eg botany). And bad luck, of course.
In Germany, it is difficult to get a permanent position in academia without the typical CV (eg reasonable publication list, period working abroad, being young) AND if you do not fit into the classical categories of research (eg botany). And bad luck, of course.
Positions are advertised very specifically on a certain topic. Perfect, if you fit, nearly impossible if you don’t. I was once asked in an interview if I can analyse a certain kind of data set. Nope. Out. A habilitation is often expected, although usually only vaguely stated.

Preen oil is produced by the uropygial gland and birds use it to maintain and waterproof their plumage. But could it have other functions? 🤔 [2/14]

At first, the question seems to be asking "how can we save the planet?" But that's not actually what most people are asking, as becomes clear when we answer that question.
Most people are actually asking "how can I still have a car, or the luxury that a car provides me, and not destroy the planet?"
And of course, the answer is, you can't.
What they're really saying is, "I like cars and I rely on them for my lifestyle, my work, and my enjoyment."
