Karacha, the house of Kuhe.

This house, the Karacha, is occupied only once a year to store and grind corn, for the great Kuhe (corn bun) festival. Only those who are going to grind the corn can enter and the presence of the chief is especially repelled in it. Wealth must not be manipulated and managed by an idle individual. It belongs to the festival, for the collective joy.

He knows his & in general

"He was co-chair of Working Group II of the Intergovernmental Panel on (IPCC) (2008-2015), where he led the effort on "Managing the Risks of Extreme Events and Disasters to Advance Climate Change Adaptation" (2012), and "Climate Change 2014: Impacts, Adaptation, and Vulnerability.

New preprint! Comments welcome: Investigating role of non-helpers in group-living thrips. Some group members "help" repair nests, but others do not. What are the non-helpers doing? MS submitted to J Anim Ecol. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/20

: trying out this new tag. feel free to share your own fav tiny ecosystems!

here's mine for today: this green anole lizard sits on this exact pineapple leaf basically every day. it hunts lil flies that are attracted to a purple basil plant (whose little flowers are in the foreground).

there's a tiny circle of life b/w 1 leaf of a pineapple, 1 lizard, little flies, & 1 basil plant. 🤯

Some touching recent feedback from a reader of " & Pollination: and Society":

"[telling stories is]...one of the special things that makes your writing so wonderful and interesting (as well as incredibly informative and accessible)"

That kind of comment makes the hard work of book writing worthwhile!

Slightly heartbreaking piece in The Monthly from Joëlle Gergis (climate scientist at ANU) about how dangerous the current moment is. Long read but good.

Some time ago somebody compiled a list of papers with models (from ecology) that can be reproduced for a post-graduate course?

Today in Plant Ecology, some surveys at Cherry Valley National Wildlife Refuge. The property is a recovering former golf course - every year, this class surveys the plants in the meadow areas of the property to see what's coming in. Next week - same thing at another recovering former golf course.

therefore solutions (proven to work. But, only if we do them!)

The sooner we stop burning carbon, eating meat (methane emissions) & start restoring natural habitats, the sooner the planet's systems will sequester the legacy atmospheric greenhouse gas emissions (having a planet-cooling effect)

Hey, if the solutions were vote winners, the majority would have chosen them already.

Although, greenwash hasn't "helped" 🤔
