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…"

Stonehenge, au coucher du soleil.
Version entièrement gratuite, puisqu'il y a un sentier, une route historique anglaise, qui longe le site, et avec sa tente ou son véhicule, on peut se garer sur la piste qui mène à cette petite route. On est juste à 10m plus loin que ceux qui paient le tarif grand public (ou ceux qui paient le tarif VIP pour aller au milieu des pierres, encore un autre débat, ça).
Mais bref, une manière simple et économique de profiter du site car non limité dans le temps.

If you like thinking and learning about human prehistory, you'll like this interview with geneticist David Reich. Two hours on what research tells us about human origins, how modern humans relate to Neanderthals and Denisovans, ancient DNA, ancient epidemics, admixture, how genetics informs archaeology, and the spread of the Yamnaya from the steppes.

🪨 Stone Age 'megastructure' under Baltic Sea sheds light on strategy used by Paleolithic hunters over 10,000 years ago

Pretty sure this is from an #aurochs, but happy to have confirmation. Spent the morning in #Neath museum stores - a wonderland of materials that wants an in-depth collections review. Lots of relocations have meant details are lost and numbers no longer make sense. Hoping to help out - short term, keen to confirm if this is what I think it is (no numbers, no context for this - this is it for the archive).
