The dodo #Raphus #cucullatus (#Columbidae) was native to #Mauritius and was #extinct between 1662 and 1690 due to #humanactivities, #domesticanimals, #naturaldesasters and may be its #parasites

Capitalism’s defenders like to boast that it rewards talent. What capitalism actually rewards is saleability, compliance, stamina, inheritance, and the ability to endure long periods of spiritual self-betrayal without becoming visibly troublesome.

#safely eradicate #parasites via #gene-drive
#medical : lice, scabies : #gene_drive
#lice (body, pubic, head) & #mites (' #scabies ') and #bedbugs have no #natural_predators , it would be fantastically amazing to have a #genedrive to #eradicate the sometimes-lethal insects. Last year, it was widely reported, one on the east coast had died -- was literally eaten alive by a parasite colony in jail. No treatment had been granted, despite repeat complaints. More recently, prisoners in #ice jails, families & children in #Gaza , and held in #Israeli #prisons have reported being deliberately #infected with scabies and lice, suffering horribly. Also #RX #treatment_resistance - much like #antibiotic_resistance w #superbugs - to conventional RX (#antiparasitics ) has skyrocketed: in late 1990s, efficacy was ~97% in USA. But a decade ago by 2016, dropped to ~35%. Today, the identical treatment is prescribed as 30 years ago. Finally, said #drugs = #neurotoxin #nerve_damage . A #genedrive could fix all of that. What is it? A gene edit which makes 100% of all offspring male: no females = inability to #reproduce and it perpetuates every generation so an edited male reproduces w nonedited female and all eggs become male, also carrying the gene-edit.... And eventually the colony depopulates entirely. A very fast & effective cure ..... versus.... a months-long hopeless battle dousing one's body in vinegar, daily, plus numerous other toxins & nerve damage. -

We also confirmed the observation made by the Wheelers back in the '60s that Manica parasitica is really "shaky". Maybe this is an "adaptive manipulation" by the parasite?

1/2 We (re)rediscovered Manica parasitica in the Sierra Nevada. Originally, this ant species was thought to be a free-loading parasite that uses the nests and brood care of its host Manica bradleyi for its own survival.
Instead, "Manica parasitica" is tapeworm-infested Manica bradleyi.

Ant biologists thought the small, strangely-shaped Manica parasitica from the Sierra Nevada was a social parasite of another ant species, but the truth is even stranger.

#LochArkaig #OspreyCam: Live #Webcam - #WoodlandTrust
What’s going on here this morning? It looks like this crow (or is it a raven?) is on the #osprey #nest while one of the ospreys looks on from nearby. I guess that the interloper is looking for #grubs and #insects to feed on and is thereby serving to clean the nest of #parasites. I presume that’s why its presence is being tolerated.
