  1. A quotation from Madeleine L'Engle

    We need to dare disturb the universe by not being manipulated or frightened by judgmental groups who assume the right to insist that if we do not agree with them, not only do we not understand but we are wrong. How dull the world would be if we all had to feel the same way about everything, if we all had to like the same books, dislike the same books.

    Madeleine L'Engle (1918-2007) American writer
    Speech (1983-11-16), “Dare To Be Creative,” Lecture, Library of Congress, Washington, DC

  11. Disturbance (ecology) (Landscape ecology 🏞️)

    In ecology, a disturbance is a change in environmental conditions that causes a pronounced change in an ecosystem. Disturbances often act quickly and with great effect, to alter the physical structure or arrangement of biotic and abiotic elements. A disturbance can also occur over a long ...

  12. A quotation from Marcus Aurelius

    If you suffer distress because of some external cause, it is not the thing itself that troubles you but your judgment on it, and it is within your power to cancel that judgment at any moment.
     
    [Εἰ μὲν διά τι τῶν ἐκτὸς λυπῇ, οὐκ ἐκεῖνό σοι ἐνοχλεῖ, ἀλλὰ τὸ σὸν περὶ αὐτοῦ κρῖμα, τοῦτο δὲ ἤδη ἐξαλεῖψαι ἐπὶ σοί ἐστιν.]

    Marcus Aurelius (AD 121-180) Roman emperor (161-180), Stoic philosopher
    Meditations [To Himself; Τὰ εἰς ἑαυτόν], Book 8, ch. 47 (8.47) (AD 161-180) [tr. Hard (1997 ed.)]

  14. Man's best friend - First eradicate the Neanderthals, then biodiversity

    Humans and their dogs drove our evolutionary cousins Neanderthals to extinction
    "Early dogs, bred from wolves, played a critical role in the modern human’s takeover of Europe 40,000 years ago when we vanquished the Neanderthal locals. The Neanderthals, who had lived there for more than 200,000 years. However, within a few thousand years of our arrival, they disappeared...Humans and hunting dogs were, and still are, a deadly combination." >>

    Man’s best friend may be nature’s worst enemy, study on pet dogs
    “Many owners simply don’t realise the environmental damage dogs can cause, from disturbing wildlife to polluting ecosystems." >>

    Bad dog? The environmental effects of owned dogs

  17. #Sad but #true

    #Survival of Eurasian #lynx in the human-dominated landscape of #Europe

    #OpenAccess
    #ConservationBiology

    #IllegalKilling was the main cause of #mortality (33.8%), and mortality rates were similar in protected and hunted populations (8.6% and 7.0% per year, respectively). Due to the low natural mortality rates in protected and hunted populations, #anthropogenic causes of mortality are likely close to additive, such that maintaining or increasing refuge #habitat with little human #disturbance is critical to lynx #conservation.

    "As whales migrate up Australia’s east coast in the coming months, drones are hot on their tails. But experts are warning that low-flying drones seeking a viral shot can disrupt the whales’ migration patterns and may even place their mating season at risk."

    The weekend will see a weak #disturbance bring widely #scattered light #rain #showers to parts of the #Northland Saturday afternoon through Saturday night.

    Otherwise, it will be #dry with some #sunshine at times as #winds remain mostly light.

  26. A quotation from Kafka, Franz:

    «
    I think we ought to read only the kind of books that wound and stab us. If the book we are reading doesn’t wake us up with a blow on the head, what are we reading it for? So that it will make us happy, as you write? Good Lord, we would be happy precisely if we had no books, and the kind of books that make…

  27. As the #climate warms, will #forests "migrate" equally? Or will gaps develop North American forest cover?

    It seems that the latter is the case. And this could result in new #landscapes.

    Quote: "As #disturbance pressure and warming in the #boreal #biome are unlikely to decline in magnitude in the future, the asymmetry in tree cover change may ultimately lead to a replacement of the southern boreal biome by other systems, e.g., temperate forests or #grasslands"
