#Coexistence

2025-10-14

How can we identify #coexistence in #ecology? There are at least three common approaches (structural stability, eigenvalues, and invasion), and each investigates different aspects of community dynamics (equilibria, locally stable equilibria, and global stability).

Want to learn more? See our recent review in #BiologicalReviews, where some of the leading experts from each of these sub-fields has helped assemble a practical guide for characterizing coexistence: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10

Thare may cum a time, when the Lion, and the Lam will lie down together, — i shall be az glad to see it az enny boddy, — but i am still betting on the Lion.
 
[There may come a time, when the Lion and the Lamb will like down together — I shall be as glad to see it as anybody — but I am still betting on the Lion.]

Josh Billings (1818-1885) American humorist, aphorist [pseud. of Henry Wheeler Shaw]

This is not the time to step back. It is the time to lean in. To be louder. More relentless. More unapologetic in our demand for ethical, science-based, and just wildlife management.

Bull Moose standing in a fall field with snow dusted mountains in the background. "This is not the time to step back. It is the time to lean in. To be louder. More relentless. More unapologetic in our demand for ethical, science-based, and just wildlife management. The people tearing apart protections for wildlife want us to believe that we are powerless, but they wouldn’t be working
so hard to silence us if that were true." Wildlife for All

We don’t have the luxury of waiting for the system to fix itself. We are the system’s correction.

Every time we call elected officials in D.C., show up at a wildlife commission meeting, demand transparency from decision makers, or challenge the status quo, we are doing what those in power fear most: reminding them that this world does not belong to them alone."

And history shows that when determined people make a principled stand against injustice, they can change the course of history.

Right now, it is easy to feel hopeless.The forces we are up against seem insurmountable. But the truth is, the fight for wildlife and wild places has always been an uphill battle. Those in power have always prioritized profit over protection, control over coexistence.Yet time and again, grassrootsmovements—people like us—havefought back and won." Wildlife for All

A quotation from Gene Roddenberry

If man is to survive, he will learn to take a delight in the essential differences between cultures. To learn that differences in ideas and attitudes are a delight, part of life’s exciting variety, not something to fear.

Gene Roddenberry (1921-1991) American television screenwriter and producer
Quoted in Stephen E. Whitfield, The Making of Star Trek, Part 1, ch. 3, epigraph (1968)

May cross-border attacks and drone provocations end,
and may nations choose dialogue over fear.
Let the spirit of coexistence shine beyond all borders. 🕊️✨

#Palestinians, #Israelis co-exist in planned community

In a rare scene of #coexistence in #Israel, #Jewish and #Palestinian children attend #school together in Neve Shalom, or Wahat al-Salam — a community founded nearly 50 years ago to foster #peace.

Here, #students learn in both #Hebrew and #Arabic, and are taught not only math and history, but also about each other’s identities.

"We force animals to adapt to the constraints of farming modelled on the mass production of manufactured goods, whereas farming should respect the ethological needs of animals. This is a transgression because we grant ourselves an absolute right that we do not have. This violence towards animals is a condemnation of us. Yet our relationship with animals could be an opportunity to think about a way of inhabiting the Earth that makes coexistence with other species possible. This requires new foundations for ethics and politics."

"Nous contraignons les animaux à s'adapter aux contraintes d'un élevage calqué sur la production en série d'objets manufacturés, alors que l'élevage devrait respecter les besoins éthologiques des bêtes. C'est une transgression car nous nous octroyons un droit absolu que nous n'avons pas. Cette violence envers les animaux nous accuse. Pourtant, le rapport aux animaux pourrait être l'occasion de penser une manière d'habiter la Terre qui rende possible la coexistence avec les autres espèces. Cela exige d'autres fondements de l'éthique et de la politique."

"Fondation des systèmes politiques modernes, la dualité nature/culture eut des conséquences fondamentales sur la production d'une "science de l'homme", distinguant hommes et femmes, corps et esprit, civilisés et sauvages, et sans doute humains et semi-humains.
(...)
À la "bioprospection coloniale" qui, depuis les premiers pas de Colomb, inventorie espèces végétales, minérales et animales à des fins de profit, s'ajouta ainsi une "ethnoprospection" c'est-à-dire un recensement et une classification universels des espèces humaines dont on pense qu'elles ont elles aussi des "natures différentes". En devenant "aussi diversifiée que la nature elle-même", l'humanité se décline en phénotypes plus qu'en origines géographiques, et l'on glisse d'une vision descriptive à un regard normatif, prédisposé à la hiérarchie."

A quotation from Marcus Aurelius

In a word, there is only one thing here worth the minding, and that is, to be true and just, and to show benevolence, even to the untrue and unjust.
 
[Ἓν ὧδε πολλοῦ ἄξιον, τὸ μετ᾿ ἀληθείας καὶ δικαιοσύνης εὐμενῆ τοῖς ψεύσταις καὶ ἀδίκοις διαβιοῦν.]

Marcus Aurelius (AD 121-180) Roman emperor (161-180), Stoic philosopher
Meditations [To Himself; Τὰ εἰς ἑαυτόν], Book 6, ch. 47 (6.47) (AD 161-180) [tr. Collier/Zimmern (1887)]

A quotation from Eleanor Roosevelt

It seems to me that it is the part of common sense for the world as a whole to protest in its own interest against wholesale persecution, because none of us by ourselves would be strong enough to stand against a big enough group which decided to treat us in the same way. We may have our individual likes and dislikes, but this is a question which far transcends prejudices or inclinations.

Eleanor Roosevelt (1884-1962) First Lady of the US (1933-45), politician, diplomat, activist
Column (1943-08-13), “My Day”

A quotation from Lincoln

To correct the evils, great and small, which spring from want of sympathy, and from positive enmity, among strangers, as nations, or as individuals, is one of the highest functions of civilization.

Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865) American lawyer, politician, US President (1861-65)
Speech (1859-09-30), Wisconsin State Agricultural Society, Milwaukee
