“Itiner-e aims to host the most detailed open digital dataset of roads in the entire Roman Empire. The data creation is a collaborative ongoing project edited by a scholarly community. Itiner-e allows you to view, query and download roads. Each road segment has a URI that allows it to be cited and linked by external resources. It also includes a route-finding tool to explore travel itineries and times in the ancient world (beta version)…”

“The Roman Empire’s road system was critical for structuring the movement of people, goods and ideas, and sustaining imperial control. Yet, it remains incompletely mapped and poorly integrated across sources despite centuries of research. [They] present Itiner-e, the most detailed and comprehensive open digital dataset of roads in the entire Roman Empire. It was created by identifying roads from archaeological and historical sources, locating them using modern and historical topographic maps and remote sensing, and digitising them with road segment-level metadata and certainty categories. The dataset nearly doubles the known length of Roman roads through increased coverage and spatial precision, and reveals that the location of only 2.737% are known with certainty. This resource is transformative for understanding how mobility shaped connectivity, administration, and even disease transmission in the ancient world, and for studies of the millennia-long development of terrestrial mobility in the region…”

#Terrestrial contamination on #Mars 🔴 would essentially be permanent — over timeframes of thousands of years. This could complicate #scientific efforts to look for Martian life. Likewise, if #microbes 🦠 evolved on Mars, they could be capable of surviving until present day. That means returning Mars samples could contaminate #Earth.” https://news.northwestern.edu/stories/2022/10/ancient-bacteria-might-lurk-beneath-mars-surface

We can consider three possible responses to the discovery of indigenous life on #Mars 🔴

• Leave it alone
• Alter Mars to enhance the chances of that biota to become a global scale biology
• Collect samples for laboratory preservation, then replace or augment it with #terrestrial life forms

It is very unlikely that we would drive to extinction any native #Martian #microorganisms 🦠 by extending the habitability of Mars

If you want to know how old one of the many repeats on #TV actually is, I believe the date is usually shown at the end of the credits in roman numerals. You need to be quick to read it.

Just watched a 2011 (MMXI) repeat of location (x3), and house prices were about half those of nowadays.

It exhibits unusually strong #territorial #behavior and is also known for guarding its #offspring.
I am successfully #breeding this #species.

The transition from #aquatic to #terrestrial #life has been one of the most significant evolutionary challenges.

This decisive process in the #evolution of life on Earth required a profound renewal of the genome.

But what changes did genomes undergo to facilitate the transition to the terrestrial environment?

Now, a new study reconstructs the key genomic adaptations at different stages of the evolutionary transition to terrestrial #ecosystems.

The results show that, although each lineage followed its own evolutionary path, many adaptive functions evolved independently and repeatedly.

This research demonstrates that these apex #predators are a crucial link between the #marine and #terrestrial #ecosystems. By hunting #seals on the sea ice and abandoning the remains, #polar #bears transfer a substantial amount of energy from the #ocean to the ice surface
