  1. Darwin's expression, "the struggle for existence," is sometimes erroneously interpreted as the struggle between different species. In reality, the struggle Darwin was thinking of and which drives evolution forward is the competition between near relations. What causes a species to disappear or become transformed into a different species is the profitable "invention" that falls by chance to one or a few of its members in the everlasting gamble of hereditary change. The descendants of these lucky ones gradually outstrip all others until the particular species consists only of individuals who possess the new "invention."

  3. @dbcurren.bsky.social And what would happen to #manufacturing in #Ohio and #Michigan (not to mention #Indiana , #Illinois , #Wisconsin and #Minnesota ) if #Canada 🇨🇦 were to close the ‘Strait of Our Moose’ (the #ElbowsUp nickname for the #WellandCanada that allows freighter navigation around #Niagara Falls) to #American ships?

    Thanks to everyone who helped. I agree with the anole assessment visually. But what’s this creature doing in #minnesota?

    Wikipedia:
    > The only species native to the contiguous United States is the Carolina (or green) anole, which ranges as far west as central Texas, and north to Oklahoma, Tennessee and Virginia.[1][32] Its northern limit is likely related to cold winter temperatures…

  8. Any #herpetology experts around? I caught this creature this morning inside our ground level apartment. (Set him free on our patio.) 34 yrs in #minnesota, mostly in a house, and we’ve never seen a #lizard indoors. Climate change? Or just our current ecosystem?

    What genus/species? Salamander? (I’ve got no idea. Just guessing.) It’s about 8cm long.

  9. A few Cretaceous age dinosaur bones have been discovered in #Minnesota - jaw portions of Terminonaris, and a tail vertebra of a hadrosaur. The state #fossil is the Giant Beaver; this specimen is from Saint Paul.
