#beringia — Public Fediverse posts

I have several app ideas where some sort of Mastodon integration sounds fun, like publishing a photo or seeing public posts using a certain hashtag. Instead of reimplementing the same, necessary but boring, steps of signing in a user and storing their secrets over and over, I decided that a small Android library might be sensible.

Perhaps this library is useful for other developers as well. You can check it out at https://codeberg.org/bocops/beringia

Vuntut: A Land Spared by Ice

Vuntut National Park in the Yukon is part of Beringia, a vast area that remained ice-free during the last ice age. Its name means 'among the lakes' in Gwich’in, referring to the wetlands that are a critical stopover for hundreds of thousands of migratory birds. This unglaciated landscape holds deep archaeological and ecological significance. #Canada #Vuntut #Yukon #Beringia 🇨🇦

Lions prowled North America for tens of thousands of years before going extinct. Today, no lions lounge in southern Alberta canola fields or chase prey through Yukon grasslands—so what happened? 🦁

"From the #Bluefish #Caves, three hollows in a remote limestone ridge in northern Yukon, #archaeologists have unearthed some of the oldest known signs of human occupation in #NorthAmerica. Today, these caves are providing scientists with a glimpse into the lives of the Beringian hunters who used them nearly 24,000 years ago."

#Introduction

I am Curator of Birds at the University of Alaska Museum and a Professor in the Department of Biology & Wildlife at the University of Alaska Fairbanks. I work on #ornithology #evolution #speciation #populationgenetics #genomics #collections #specimens #evolutionaryecology #Beringia #pathogens and...

In our research group we primarily use a specimen-based approach. It’s an exciting time to be a biologist. Glad to see so many interesting colleagues and discussions on this site.
