💁🏻♀️ ICYMI: 🐸🥚 In a high-elevation #Oregon #lake, hundreds of Western toad pairs lay over a million #eggs together.
The hatching #tadpoles form massive #underwater schools that snake along the shore before growing legs and moving onto land. The #amphibians connect local food webs by transferring #energy to larger #predators.

தாவரத்தின் வாழ்க்கை – கிளிமேந்த் திமிர்யாஸெவ் (The Life Of Plants – Ten popular lectures In Tamil by Kliment Timiryasev)
நெருங்கிய பதிப்பு என்பது திமிரியாசேவின் தாவரத்தின் வாழ்க்கை என்னும் தமிழில் மொழிபெயர்ப்பாகும். இந்த மொழிபெயர்ப்பு தோத்தாத்திரு மூலம் செய்யப்பட்டு, 1912 ஆம் ஆண்டு லண்டனில் வெளியிடப்பட்டது. பேராசிரியர் அ. என். பெகேதோவின் புத்தக விமர்சனம் மற்றும் இரண்டாம், மூன்றாம், நான்காம், ஐந்தாம், ஆறாம், ஏழாம், எட்டாம் மற்றும் ஒன்பதாம் ரஷிய பதிப்புகளுக்கான முன்னுரைகள் பூ. சோமசுந்தரம் மூலம் மொழிபெயர்க்கப்பட்டுள்ளன. தமிழில் மொழிபெயர்ப்பு, திமிரியாசேவின் படைப்புகளின் (மாஸ்கோ, 1938) IV தொகுதியிலுள்ள ரஷிய மொழி உரையை சரிபார்த்து, அதனுடன் தொடர்புடைய மாற்றங்கள் மேற்கொள்ளப்பட்டுள்ளன.

Under adverse conditions, #astigmatid #mites develop a special nymphal stage: the #deutonymph (shown here: #Histiostoma #sapromyzarum, living specimen). It's a #heteromorphic stage that serves the purpose of #phoretictransport and a result of a #metamorphosis into a juvenile stage lacking a mouth but possessing gonadal primordia and a rudimentary midgut.

So if I understood this article correctly, the key conclusion is this - metamorphosis was not the condition for moving onto land?
The traditional picture was:
Tetrapods could leave water because they first evolved a tadpole-like larval stage and then metamorphosed.
The new interpretation suggested by these fossils is closer to:
Tetrapods gradually adapted to land over evolutionary time, and they probably did not need a frog-like metamorphosis to do it.
In other words, metamorphosis was probably not a prerequisite for terrestrial life. Instead, the transition from water to land appears to have been a long, gradual evolutionary process affecting the whole life cycle, rather than depending on a distinct larval stage.
Analogy of two possible scenarios:
Old model
- Young live in water.
- Undergo a major developmental transition.
- Adults become adapted to life on land.
New model
- Young and adults share the same basic body plan.
- Land adaptations accumulate gradually over millions of years (generations).
So the narrative shifts from:
Metamorphosis enabled the move onto land
to:
The move onto land happened gradually, and amphibian-style metamorphosis likely evolved later as a specialized adaptation.

I think I have probably reached saturation point with my abstract 'found art' Metamorphosis series, so here are the final collections and I will move on to pastures new.

We were trained to relate to the world through abstraction first, which is why genuine contact can feel almost shocking — the resistance of material, the limits of the body, weather changing the terms of the day, another person remaining irreducibly themselves — all the ordinary ways reality reminds you it is alive and not merely the backdrop for your intentions.

You can carry what's real and still keep building at the edge of what's becoming — those two things were never in conflict.

A second collection of 'found art' abstract images from my Metamorphosis project.
Once you begin looking for these types of scenes in the city, you start to see them everywhere - the challenge is in curating them into small collections that work well together.

A couple of years ago I produced a photography zine, Metamorphosis, featuring abstract images where time, the elements and the hand of man had created what I came to think of as 'found art'.
The concept has stuck with me and since then I have continued to collect such images as a kind of background project, which has lead to a small collection like this, the first of four abstract art collages.
