A recent article by WBUR sheds light on concerns about horseshoe crabs' well-being. Environmentalists worry that current harvesting practices might threaten these vulnerable creatures. With populations already facing habitat loss, some fear unsustainable blood collection could endanger them. Let's get these guys out of the labs and back into nature, where they can live peacefully as they've done for so many millenia!

#mycelium is a vital part of many ecosystems, playing a crucial role in decomposition, plant health, and nutrient cycling. It is the vegetative part of a fungus, consisting of a network of thread-like hyphae that can grow underground, on plants, or even in decaying wood. It is an essential and versatile organism with a wide range of #ecological, #economic, and #technological applications. As we continue to learn more about this valuable resource, it is likely to play an even more important role in our lives for a #sustainable future. Let's nurture the #mycelium #network 🍄 🌱

Recently, I've been posting about a "revolution in science" as it becomes more integrative and focuses on complexity and "pathways over time" rather than "snapshots in time." A great example of what I'm talking about is this video here. These folks are "destroying monoculture trees" to create the space for nature to take over and "re-wild" the forest, thereby leading to greater biodiversity. https://lnkd.in/ex5CBWhg

The ability of an organism to change its characteristics in response to environmental variations is known as pheno-typic plasticity and is the key driving factor in the evolution of a species. eg; If a Holly finds its leaves are being eaten by herbivores it switches genes on to make them spiky when they regrow. So on taller Holly trees the upper leaves which are out of reach have smooth edges, while the lower leaves which where previously eaten and have regrown are prickly. Repost from X

Symbiotic Relationships Unveiled: Nature's Intricate Collaborations Symbiosis is a biological phenomenon where two different species engage in a close and often long-term interaction, impacting each other’s lives. The Four Symbiotic Relationships: 1. Mutualism Mutualism is a symbiotic relationship where both species involved derive mutual benefits. 2. Commensalism Commensalism involves one species benefiting, while the other is neither helped nor harmed. 3. Parasitism Parasitism is a relationship where one species (parasite) benefits at the expense of the other (host). 4. Amensalism Amensalism represents a relationship where one species is harmed, and the other is unaffected.
