CW: Bad news: pesticides. But an very good approach to calculate ecological toxicity
RE: https://eupolicy.social/@Akshay/116192439506710815
"To determine global pesticide risk, the study researchers looked at data on pesticide use from 2013 to 2019 in 65 nations that collectively represent nearly 80% of global crop acreage. They then combined these statistics with data on the toxicity of 625 pesticides for eight different species groups, including aquatic invertebrates and plants, fish, pollinating insects, soil organisms, and terrestrial arthropods, plants and vertebrates."
This TAT [total applied toxicity] is a very good approach to measure ecotoxicity. This is very important since the often used "tons of pesticides applied" is quite useless when we are talking about substances with highly varying toxicity. 👌
Of many pesticides, we do not really know the toxicity, or there is a lack of scientific consensus because the agrochemical corporations play dirty and have an army of paid pseudo-scientists. Additionally, toxicological studies focus mainly on acute toxicity on humans and not on long-term adverse health effects or the effects of combinations of different pollutants. And the toxicity for ecosystem functions is seldom even considered.
May this TAT help us to not underestimate toxicity so much.@mongabay 🌱

You may thank us ✌️🪱✌️
"Crucially, both field and laboratory data demonstrated a significant reduction in particle size in casts compared to soil (6.48% and 19.8%, respectively), supporting the potential earthworm effects on MP (microplastic) mechanical attrition. Polymer compositions in casts mirrored those in soils, exhibiting a nonselective and passive ingestion pathway. Beyond physical transport, the formation of field biogenic polymer aggregates facilitated chemical aging of MPs, as evidenced by elevated oxidation indices. This process was likely accelerated by the enrichment of plastic-degrading microbial taxa (e.g., Flavobacterium) within casts, which exhibited up to a 35.6-fold increase in relative abundance."

I've been largely absent from social media lately, as it would be an understatement to say I've got lot on at the moment... with a draft book manuscript due in two weeks (Eeeeek!), and a lot of research work to complete before a brand new baby Ashwood arrives in five weeks (even more Eeeeeek)!!
Time is a scarce commodity right now, send positive vibes please!

Elizabeth Wellington is renowned for her work on the microbiomes in our environment, including soil, plants, and rivers. She is also known for her efforts to promote this field by sharing research methods and running workshops. To honour her great contributions to microbiomes and environmental microbiology, DSMZ researchers named the strain Streptomonospora wellingtoniae (DSM 45055) after her.

Johanna Döbereiner (1924-2000) was a world-renowned microbiologist, agronomist and pioneer in soil biology. She played an important role in Brazilian soybean production by promoting legumes that relied solely on biological nitrogen fixation. To honour her significant contributions in the field of plant-microbe interaction, DSMZ researchers named the strain Streptomyces doebereineriae (DSM 41640) after her.

I was blown away by this very unusual white-pigmented morph of a familiar giant springtail species (H. spinosa), which I found recently under a log in a tree fern forest in Kaikōura, Aotearoa.
These springtails normally have either yellow or orange coloured spines, so this was a very special little sproinglet indeed!

In New Zealand, the invertebrate life is mostly nocturnal, so for macrophotography it's best to go out with your camera at night.
I'm from the UK, so a bit wary of going into the forest after dark, but I'm slowly getting used to it here (while still taking safety precautions of course). It's absolutely worth it - you see so many more creatures and can get amazing behaviour shots like this springtail feeding on fungi!
