    "But they were unaware that the great majority of the #biota, perhaps 99%, easily streamed through the holes of their nets; the holes were simply too big to capture these microbes. Even when membrane flters and microscopy were used, and they revealed great diversity of #microplankton and #nanoplankton, most #microbes evaded detection. The view of the pelagic web of life that emerged and became entrenched for a century was then based on a tiny fraction of marine biota."

  16. What should happen to native forests when logging ends? Ask Victoria’s First Peoples

    "Conservationists are celebrating a win sought for decades. The damage done by logging on biodiversity has been significant, with once common species now endangered and mature forests now fragmented and dotted with young fire-prone regrowth."
    "Colonisation affected Country differently across Australia. But many effects are similar across the continent. European-style land management coincides with species extinctions across the continent. "

    Reading the black book: The number, timing, distribution and causes of listed extinctions in Australia

    "We conclude that 100 Australian endemic species are validly recognised as extinct since 1788: a rate of loss of about 4.3 species per decade since European colonisation of the continent. This rate is not diminishing and we interpret this more-or-less constant but continuing rate of loss .."

    "Here, we review the record of extinctions. We ask the following: (1) how many extinctions have occurred; (2) whether particular taxonomic groupings have been most affected; (3) when did they occur; (4) where did they occur; and (5) what factors caused or contributed to them?"
