oh good, arthro-pod is finally doing an episode on fire ants!

on second listen, I've decided to tag
@futurebird , even though its main focus is on two ants as invasive species.

Invasive or aggressive?

The PhD student machine is more easily kept spinning with a never-ending series of technical and biological challenges related to implants, giving an academic research incentive bias that may not favor the best approaches for patients. #invasive #implantable #BCI #NeuroTech

Are Colorado Moose Invasive? New Research Says NO

“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…"

Five biological questions that stand between today's BCI and a lifetime device https://bioniclab.substack.com/p/the-science-that-makes-it-worth-building by TK Kozai in the "Why implantable BCIs fail" series: post 21; only The vOICe noninvasive vision BCI is already a lifetime device; #invasive #BCI #NeuroTech

Issues: 1. Insertion trauma that severs capillaries and tears through the neuropil. 2. An immune response that never resolves. 3. Glial cells that wall off the device. 4. A neurovascular unit that reorganizes around a wound it cannot close. 5. Neurons that die, migrate, or simply stop talking to the electrode. #neuroscience

Come to find out, Holly's only middling hard. I've been cutting softer Tulip Poplars and #invasive Tree of Heaven. And thinking I knew what I was doing.

This was only my first hard-ish tree. (Turns out there's a scale. Holly, Walnut, Teak are about 1000. Locust is 1500. Harder than that? I don't recognize any names.)

What I want every BCI participant to know before implantation https://bioniclab.substack.com/p/a-note-to-bci-participants-and-their by TK Kozai in the "Why implantable BCIs fail" series: post 19; #invasive #BCI #NeuroTech

"If you or someone you know is considering enrollment in a BCI trial, ask questions. Ask about what happens if the device stops working. Ask about long-term monitoring. Ask about what the research team knows about failure modes."

There's a really cute video of a person (FROM SOUTH KOREA) taking care of an Asian Hornet and dumb Americans and Europeans are like "don't you know they're invasive" "you killed your ecosystem". I am convinced these people don't understand that invasive species have ranges that they are native to, ATP it's just buzzword to justify killing animals they don't like (I mean the casual use of the word by non-scientists)
