    “The modern Colorado moose is often considered just that: modern - brought to the state by wildlife officials in the late 1970s, preceded by very occasional reports of moose sightings in the 19th and early 20th centuries.
    Since being translocated to Colorado, these charismatic megafauna have been a source of both fascination and concern. In Rocky Mountain National Park [RMNP], where moose populations have thrived, ecosystems have been changing, and moose-associated impacts have sparked renewed conversations about managing an animal labeled “non-native.”
    However, newly published research [link above] by an interdisciplinary team of scientists, archivists and Tribal cultural heritage leaders shows that the “non-native” label is inaccurate. They present evidence demonstrating that moose have been in Colorado for at least centuries and likely longer.
    The researchers analyzed newspaper archives, archaeological site reports, scientific journals, museum collections and photo archives to understand where and when moose were present in Colorado prior to the mid-1900s. Perhaps most importantly, notes lead author William Taylor, a University of Colorado Boulder associate professor of anthropology and CU Museum curator of archaeology, the scholars sought Indigenous histories, and in doing so found evidence of moose being well known and deeply integrated into traditional knowledge of Native people in the southern Rockies.
    Crystal C’Bearing, a study co-author and Northern Arapaho Tribal Historic Preservation Officer, notes that among the Northern Arapaho, "the moose is considered a valued commodity among the Tribe.” She adds that societies within the Northern Arapaho "utilize many animals, including moose, in their clothing, society items and regalia. This tradition continues today."
    The scholarly approach of joining Indigenous knowledge with historical accounts, archaeology and paleontology, "shows the power of multiple independent lines of evidence converging on the conclusion that moose were part of southern Rocky Mountain ecosystems long before modern reintroductions," says study co-author Jonathan Dombrosky of Crow Canyon Archaeological Center and the University of Alabama. "More broadly, the study demonstrates how historical sciences can help us better understand the origins of modern ecosystems and make more informed decisions about their future…"

  6. #Introduction

    I am a poet and aware
    Of some of the baggage
    That comes with That

    I belong to a protected class
    And a gender, and I am aware
    of that debt, Inherited and still owed

    I am in love with us
    And the temple we call Earth
    I despair in our hatred

    I create
    Because that is when
    I know the Universe

    So now I am
    #Introduced
    and still #unknown

  10. Nature Doesn’t Care Where a #Species Is From.
    A meta-analysis published in #Science showed no differences between #introduced and #native #megaherbivore impacts or evidence for stronger impacts of functionally #novel #species. Instead, large-bodied #herbivores and those with selective #diets had a stronger effect on #vegetation, suggesting a stronger role for species’ #traits than #origins in determining their impacts

  11. #Bumblebee and flower: maybe a scotch thistle?

    In #Australia, Bumblebees are only present in #Tasmania, having been #illegally #introduced there in the early 1990s, probably by individuals who wanted them to pollinate crops. Unfortunately they have also assisted pest plants to spread more widely and more quickly in that state.

  12. @aBirdieOnaWire @terrafiedkestrel you should have still #introduced ourselves! Most people forget how much they like talking to other people.
