Edward Smith Deevey Jr. (3 December 1914 – 29 November 1988), born in #AlbanyNewYork, was a prominent American #ecologist and #paleolimnologist, and an early protégé of #GEvelynHutchinson at #YaleUniversity. He was a creative pioneer in several areas, including quantitative #palynology, cycling of natural #isotopes, #biogeochemistry, #populationDynamics, #systematics and #ecology of freshwater #zooplankton, and he promoted the use of life tables in ecology. In 1938.

#MaryRiver #cod thriving in #BrisbaneRiver catchment, century after relative #Brisbane River cod went #extinct & five years after thousands of fingerlings were introduced.
#Ecologist & #IpswichCityCouncil #waterway health officer Jack McCann said the Brisbane River cod went extinct sometime in the 1920s or 1930s.
Their disappearance led to the river losing one of its key apex predators.

Once again:
If we continue on this path, extinction is what awaits humanity. The only way out is to kill this system and radically change the way we see and interact with the world.
We need a #Revolution !

As #Norway Considers #DeepSeaMining, a Rich History of Ocean Conservation Decisions May Inform How the Country Acts
In the past, scientists, industry and government have worked together in surprising, tense and fruitful ways
by Christian Elliott, April 21, 2025
"At the #Arctic #MidOceanRidge off the Norwegian coast, molten rock rises from deep within the Earth between spreading tectonic plates. Black smoker vents sustain unique ecosystems in the dark. Endemic species of long, segmented bristle worms and tiny crustaceans graze on bacteria mats and flit among fields of chemosynthetic tube worms, growing thick as grass. Dense banks of sponges cling to the summits and slopes of underwater mountains. And among all this life, minerals build up slowly over millennia in the form of #sulfide deposits and #manganese crusts.
"Those minerals are the kind needed to fuel the global green energy transition—#copper, #zinc and #cobalt. In January 2024, Norway surprised the world with the announcement it planned to open its waters for exploratory deep-sea mining, the first nation to do so. If all went to plan, companies would be issued licenses to begin identifying mineral deposits as soon as #Spring2025. To some scientists who’d spent decades mapping and studying the geology and ecology of the Norwegian seabed and Arctic Mid-Ocean Ridge, the decision seemed premature—they still lacked critical data on the area targeted for mining. The government’s own Institute of Marine Research (IMR) accused it of extrapolating from a small area where data has already been collected to the much larger zone now targeted
“ 'Our advice has been we don’t have enough knowledge,' says Rebecca Ross, an #ecologist at IMR who works on Norway’s #Mareano deep-sea mapping initiative. She says the decision was based solely on the #geology of the area. Taking high-resolution scans of the seabed and sampling its geology is the first step when research ships enter a new area, but critical biological and ecological research is more difficult and tends to come later—which is the case on the ridge area targeted for mining. Ross says it’s certain that area contains vulnerable marine ecosystems that would be affected by the light and noise pollution and sediment plumes generated by mining. The IMR estimates closing the knowledge gap on the target area could take ten years.
"The same conflict, with a partial scientific understanding misinterpreted and used to justify resource extraction, is playing out in the #Pacific, where mining pilot projects are already underway in international waters. Years before, scientists funded by industry scouted the #seabed there, discovering both valuable minerals and new forms of life."

Der Zukunft den Boden bereiten – Besser leben mit #Biodiversität. unw-Stadthausveranstaltung am 29. April in Stadthaus #Ulm, ua mit Prof. Emma J. Sayer, #ecosystem #ecologist @UniUlm https://www.unw-ulm.de/veranstaltungen/der-zukunft-den-boden-bereiten/
When I look at this, I see a #tree; a beautiful, living thing, with leaves and flowers, which brings a stark, spare Winter beauty, and green summer shade.
When an #ecologist looks at this, they see a world; an ecosystem involving the tree itself, fungi, nearby trees and plants, insects, birds, squirrels, the environment in which it exists ...
When a #capitalist looks at this, they see firewood.
#animal #ecology #beaver #question
Do you know any animal science or observation people who might know about beaver behavior? Someone mentioned hearing about beavers dragging medicinal plants or herbs towards their homes (so that they will grow? Resulting in beaver home herb gardens perhaps?)

My snails needed waking up from hibernation! This is Volcano, she's a Giant African Land snail, and all good and well, jus needed some gentle shell rubbing, body warmth, and a bit of warm water sprinkled on the crust of mucus she puts over her shell to trap air and warmth in whilst she sleeps! #giantafricanlandsnail #hibernation #nature #ecologist #snails
Got a bunch of events coming up to share here; poetry events, nature writing workshops, discussions on queering ecology...but for now. For this evening. Here's my mind ghouls. Because when I'm tired of everything and everyone, I draw monsters. #art #queer #dyke #nature #ecologist #monsters #writer #artist #poet
multi bias multi perspective ideas of what natural is, what nature is, and not just what these theories are - how do these influence conservation processes, how we understand biochemistry, and ecological process in DETAIL. We arent just talking about theological stuff here. It's ALL up for grabs. #queer #ecology #rant #critic #system #trans #muslim #Ecologist #writer #nature #wildlife #queering #indigenous #sources #society #ecosystem #conservation #thought #theory #interactions #bias
#Introduction time!
My name is Cian Kelly, I am an #ecologist and conservationist from Ireland living and working as a wildlife biologist in British Columbia. My research in Ireland focused on #biodiversity on agricultural land, followed by forest ecology and #wildfire since moving to BC.
I am founder and Head of Scientific Development at Bullfinch Earth, a BC based benefit company developing cutting edge nature tech for biodiversity and wildfire monitoring.
Don’t hesitate to reach out!
#nyc had been in #drought without any rain for months.
Finally - we have 2.5 days of decent, drizzle with just shy of 2” of rain. And … I plants are blooming. Just before winter. (??)
We are still in a drought and rain deficit, but the fire risk should be abated.
Today in the #bronx #nybg the Lilacs have real, fragrant flowers and the Magnolias see resplendent with fuzzy buds. Like it’s March.
Can my #ecologist friends please explain this to me? Has #climatechange confounded our flora?
