"We don’t just need a #planet roughly the same size and #temperature as #Earth; we need a planet that spent billions of years evolving with us. We depend completely on the billions of other living #organisms that make up Earth’s #biosphere. Without them, we cannot survive. Astronomical observations and Earth’s #geological record are clear: the only planet that can support us is the one we evolved with. There is no plan B. "

Doors to the Homes: Signal Potential of Red Coloration of Claws in Social #HermitCrabs
By Doherty & Laidre
#hermitcrabs #biology #ecology #organisms #oceanlife
Welcome, new followers!
I am an #ecologist mainly working with #insects, although I've published on #archaea, #bacteria, #fungi, #plants, and (of course) #animals. Work in my lab and with collaborators ranges from #genomes to #organisms to landscapes and ecosystems.
I'm a #professor in the #Faculty of #Environment at the #University of #Northern #British #Columbia in beautiful Prince George, BC: https://www2.unbc.ca/people/huber-dr-dezene
I'm particularly concerned about #biodiversity and #climate change.

There are five so-called "#garbage #patches" in the earth's oceans – areas where #currents concentrate surface and near-surface #trash (particularly #plastics).
Obligate #neustonic #organisms – #animals and #plants that must live at or very near the ocean surface – also concentrate in those locations.
So what does that mean for the #ecology of this unique #biotic #community?
See Chong et al (2023) if you would like to know more.

Ich hatte heute Morgen leider keine andere Wahl, als diesen kompletten Unsinn von Tanja Traxler (Wissenschaftsredaktorin, Der Standard) zu lesen: https://www.derstandard.at/story/2000145076756/gibt-es-einen-freien-willen.
Warum es den freien Willen doch gibt, erforschen wir mit biologischen und philosophischen Methoden in unserem Projekt an der Uni Wien: https://www.expandingpossibilities.org.
