  1. Y a des vieux dans la salle ?

    Moi #Coyote me manque. Tu sais le mec qui dessinait dans #FluideGlacial. Je sais pas ce qu'il est advenu de #LitteulKevin et de sa famille de #bikers et ça m'inquiète grave 😁

    Tiens !? J'y pense! Quand je serai au paradis, je pourrai lui demander ce qu'est devenu Kevin et un autographe. Yep !
    Comme autographe je veux un dessin de moi moulée dans des fringues en cuir sur un #chopper.

    C'est pas pour autant qu'il me tarde, mais ça rend la perspective moins ardue.

    “#Bigcats have a big impact. A long-term study showed that when mountain lions began regular visits to a small suburban preserve about 45 miles (72 kilometers) south of San Francisco, they changed the behavior of many other animals.
    Mountain lions (Puma concolor) started appearing with increasing frequency on trail cameras at Stanford's Jasper Ridge Biological Preserve ('Ootchamin 'Ooyakma) from 2015 to 2020. Researchers documented a corresponding drop in deer activity compared with the prior years of lower or absent puma activity. Vegetation surveys also showed that many woody plants deer like to eat or tend to trample, including young oak trees, began to thrive.
    These types of multilevel effects, called trophic cascades, have been studied primarily in large wilderness areas, particularly cascades caused by #apexpredators such as #wolves reintroduced into Yellowstone National Park...”

  3. The #coyote #Canis #latrans is widespread in North America and expands also into human #cities. It engages in opportunistic #hunting #cooperations with the American #badger #Taxidea #taxus, allowing both to capture more #groundsquirrels #Urocitellus #armatus. D. Thornton et al. (2018) used #cameratraps to document these interactions.
