saltnotsugar, in Migration Routes of Birds in the Americas

Wow, that’s way further out into the ocean than I thought.

Fuck_u_spez_,

That’s what I was thinking. That orange trail over Greenland and Iceland looks like it might go all the way to the British Isles or Scandinavia.

How many peas are that?

Detourahead, in Giant 1.5-foot-long rat that can crack open coconuts photographed for 1st time on remote island

Is this bigger or smaller than a New York rat?

Drusas, in Giant 1.5-foot-long rat that can crack open coconuts photographed for 1st time on remote island

Rodents of unusual size? I don't believe it.

PsychedSy,

Three comments and someone beat me to it.

Sigmar intensifies

I hope this one doesn’t make it into our world. Oh my god.

Nomad, in Abandon the idea of ‘great green walls’

This video shows an evolved approach for.the same idea that respects the people living in these zones and should be more in line with the articles goals.

Starglasses, in Abandon the idea of ‘great green walls’

The result of destroying great green walls is a large part of why we are here.

Restore what was destroyed. It’s only a ‘bad idea’ for $$.

pornrush,

It’s amazing seeing a guy named “fossilesque” post a story saying we shouldn’t restore destroyed biomes in an ecology community… That they mod? Created? Haven’t checked that far yet.

Nomad,

Its amazing to me that both of you didnt read the article before posting. They dont say tree planting is bad, just to do it in a more evifence based manner. Just more trees is more good is an oversimplification.

DredPyr8Roberts, in How many Jacaranda trees are there in Sydney?

None, they’re all gum trees. /s

poweruser, in Looking for the last universal common ancestor of all living organisms

Confirming that all life on earth has a common ancestor would reduce the likelihood of panspermia, wouldn’t it?

If life originated in space then it might happen more than once, so we might find that some life forms do not share a common ancestor at all.

If all life forms have a common ancestor then that implies abiogenesis is rare.

Of course, it could be that abiogenesis is hard but seeding life by asteroids is easy, so more research is needed.

Either answer is interesting

Not really, from what I understand, it seems that life just needed a match start with the right amount of momentum in a place where the building blocks were present in abundance. There might have been false starts to life, more than once. I think the rare thing is more for the right conditions (in addition to and especially in relation to the energy source: sun) to be present for the match to spark and then the conditions must be stable enough for the momentum to keep up, like a tornado.

Tldr sperm gets shot everywhere, but the fertile eggs are rare.

trouble, in The World Is Running Out of Male Sea Turtles

More turtleussy for me 😏

GiantRobotTRex,

turtleoaca you mean

zcd, in EU allows use of controversial weedkiller glyphosate for 10 more years

Bees: fuck me right?!

Its not the glyphosate that kills bees, its the inert surfactants that are used in some brands of it.

mindlessscrollingparrot,

But a glyphosate-free version also killed 96% of exposed bees, they said, “demonstrating that the active ingredient, glyphosate, is not the cause of the mortality.”

Since they know that the surfactants are toxic to bees, this is like comparing pure arsensic to a mixture of arsenic and cyanide and concluding that cyanide is not dangerous.

Maestro,

That doesn't prove glyphosate doesn't kill bees. It just proves that the additives also kill bees

Fixbeat, in EU strikes deal on new 'ecocide' rules to put polluters in jail

CEOs or fall guys?

spacecowboy,

Rich people are never held to account. Don’t be silly.

acockworkorange, in Arabian sand boa: The derpy snake that looks like it's got googly eyes glued to the top of its head

Suddenly the snake drawings on The Little Prince look a lot more life-like.

infinitevalence, in Part 3 Why Mushroom Suits Won’t Work and How to Apply Forensic Taphonomy and Cemetery Studies to Make Green Graves One-Use Composting Machines (Part 1)
@infinitevalence@discuss.online avatar

Thankfully the state my dad lives in allows for green burials so he gets to go first into our new family plot!

He said “just put me in a hole” so naturally I had to ask if he preferred for me to wait till he was dead or just get right to it.
