I had the pleasure of being the @PeerCommunityIn Ecology recommender for a handy “How to" #review #code for #ecologists and #evolutionary #biologists
by @EdIvimeyCook, @joelpick, Bairos-Novak, Culina, Gould, @DrMattG, @Ben_M_Marshall, Moreau, Paquet, Royauté, @ASanchez_Tojar, Silva, & Windecker
I'm looking forward to trying their tips! Particularly, these R functions/packages: identical, renv, set.seed

I have heard people say that human laughter is cruel because we laugh at people falling over. However, evolutionary #biologists suggest - that context of laughter generally occurs when it's perceived that no harm was caused by the fall. In other words, the laughter is a "no foul no harm" form of social communication (I.e., everything is OK)

#Evolutionary #biologists don't have a clue. Remember that #evolution is a #theory that is yet to be proven, no matter what anyone claims otherwise. A lot of the so-called #science is merely conjecture.

A new & growing #threat is facing America’s #LargestBird - the #California #condor - a #famed #species that has been slowly #recovering from the #BrinkOfExtinction .
A #HighlyContagious strain of #AvianInfluenza has killed at least 18 of the massive #birds around the #GrandCanyon in #Arizona over the past month. And now California #biologists are scrambling to address what could be a #catastrophic #setback if condors in #BigSur & other parts of the state become infected.

[ #Lichens are entire #ecosystems in miniature, what many #biologists are now referring to as an example of a #holobiont - a #diverse #assemblage of #organisms that behaves as a unit.
Another classic example of a holobiont is a #HumanBeing - with our 10-100 trillion #symbiotic #bacteria directly impacting our digestion, metabolism, immunity, developmental processes, and brain functions.]

#Wetlands are very #important to #biodiversity because they #support both #aquatic #plants & #wildlife . Sadly, due to agriculture & urban developments many wetlands are in #danger of #disappearing . #Biologists & #ecologists have come up with a new #plan to #manage & #restore lands & wetlands - beavers.
#Beavers are called #ecosystem #engineers by ecologists and biologists because they can #reshape entire #habitats to suit their needs

"most of us go to work so the company can survive and give us a paycheck...an absence of coupling with a larger #ecological context. #Biologists call this #EvolutionaryMismatch. Relationship to past #environment was beneficial for survival... Then the environment changes, and the function remains but is no longer helpful and can even do harm." #JoeBrewer #RegeneratingEarth page 202
