💁🏻♀️ TIL: 🦪🌡️ A #Stanford led study explains why #clams and #snails dominate modern shorelines while #brachiopods barely survived the #GreatDying.
Researchers measured #oxygen consumption in living #animals to show that slower metabolisms could not cope with warming, oxygen depleted waters 252 million years ago. The authors warn that today’s warming #oceans could trigger a similar ecological shift.

💁🏻♀️ TIL: 🐒🌿 Professor Amy McEuen argues that conserving #primates like #gibbons and #langurs in #China can protect entire #ecosystems through the umbrella species approach.
The same strategy behind successful #panda #conservation preserving hundreds of endemic species could work for primates that need large #forest #habitats. McEuen points to species already adapting to #climatechange as evidence that no conservation effort is too small.

SOURCE: SOCIALPSYCHOLOGY.ORGTITLE: Scientists May Have Solved Mystery of Earth's Largest Mass Extinction
Source: Science Daily - Top News
Why do beaches today have seashells from clams and snails instead of brachiopods? A new study suggests that the answer lies in Earth's greatest mass extinction, when warming oceans and falling oxygen levels wiped out animals that couldn't adapt. Species with body plans and metabolisms better suited to the changing conditions survived and went on to dominate the seas, offering a glimpse of how modern marine life could respond to climate change.

How much do you need to change temprature to start a mass extinction? To learn from Earth's history, magnitudes larger than 5.2 °C and rates higher than 10 °C/Myr (our current rate of change is ~8,620 °C/Myr).

I was reading about the demand for Full Stack developers and started to think about generalists around mass extinctions. It's something the paleoecological community has been debating; we seem to agree it's not good to be a specialist in bad times.

Okay then. The result is pretty much what we have always assumed, but it is nice to put some numbers on it.

@Lazarou It is, after all, classic #DivideAndConquer #Strategy.
Even a brief deep dive into #MassExtinction Events leaves one to wonder if fossil fuels lobbyists have finally convinced the wealthiest, along with crony politicians, on what the most modern collapse would look like, and just much we, the elite humans, can be the last and strongest standing.
Yep, genocide can be quite butt fucking ugly.

@quietmarc There are, undoubtedly, Capitalists in film making that would like this #ClimateCrisis to persist, justifying a series and potential blockbuster movie on #MassExtinction.

@JustinDerrick An overextended #duopoly is built to eventually cause a massive vacuum, between the two poles. Key to this effect is crony politicians writing policy, for the #TechBros and #FossilFuels #oligarchs, sacrificing future generations for front-loading #Capitalism #greed, while overlapping #ecosystems accelerate in collapse.
Worse, #ClimateCrisis puts us in jeopardy of another #MassExtinction.
Replace abusive power with ethical #scientists.

@davidho Please stop underestimating impact here.
Your use of "warmer" where 'hotter' is becoming #GlobalBoiling, is equally becoming wildly unsustainable. It's an essential CRISIS now, and will cost more and more ... toward a #MassExtinction.

"Closely spaced or overlapping El Niño events create cumulative cloud suppression. Each El Niño phase actively reduces low-level stratocumulus and trade-wind cumulus clouds over vast tropical and subtropical ocean areas as part of the Bjerknes feedback loop. When the next El Niño develops before full cloud recovery during intervening La Niña or neutral conditions, the albedo loss becomes progressively more persistent, producing the observed multi-decadal linear decline. […] Major El Niño periods (especially 2015–16 and 2023–24) coincide with accelerated albedo drops and incomplete recoveries."
