Best of luck everyone with your future endeavors! #ees028 was a blast! https://t.co/Y7M6oCR5tF

Thanks for a great semester #ees028! Have a fantastic summer. And one final picture of the ginkgo....

Instead, the "leaky replacement" hypothesis claims modern humans bred with the neanderthals until they went extinct. #6thextinction #ees028

[Dime @ParadigmEidolon]

Huh, apparently we modern humans might have possibly driven the neanderthals to extinction along with the megafauna. #6thextinction #ees028

[Dime @ParadigmEidolon]

According to #6thextinction, most of us are up to 4% neanderthal! I'd love to see that on an Ancestry website. #ees028

[Dime @ParadigmEidolon]

Footprint Calc notes that 49% of my footprint comes from "services", and decreasing this comes via indirect means/societal changes. #ees028

[Dime @ParadigmEidolon]

Huh, according to the Footprint Calculator (https://t.co/EMB7tzUdbw) it would take 4 planets to support everyone if they're like me. #ees028

Preserving a forest may seem less economical than a shrimp farm at first, but in the long haul it's way more beneficial for everyone #ees028

[Dime @ParadigmEidolon]

Nature's podcast has some curious ideas on the economics of preserving ecosystems--thinking of public "bads" instead of public goods #ees028

As we said in class, rhino horn powder's made of keratin--same stuff in fingernails! No high whatsoever. #ees028 #6thextinction @arleene220

[Dime @ParadigmEidolon]

Man, how rich do you have to be if you're snorting rhino horn powder at a party? https://t.co/R6sxZR4LNi #ees028 #6thextinction @arleene220

How to tell if a giant megaherbivore lived in a place: check for signs of Sporormiella fungi found in their poo. #6thextinction #ees028

Results from the "russian roulette" of a species moving to a new place:
1.) Nothing!
2.) Survives>Establishes>Spreads

C. Darwin's idea of a fun time with the kids: let's count the number of baby snails on these severed duck feet! #ees028 #6thextinction 🐌🦆

[Dime @ParadigmEidolon]

That being said, I would love a Jurassic Park-style car tour of a nature preserve or zoo (I bet that already exists though). #iceage #ees028

[Dime @ParadigmEidolon]

I worry #rewilding via Pleistocene parks will have similar problems with #deextinction--poachers, invasive species, etc. #iceage #ees028

[Dime @ParadigmEidolon]

I worry #rewilding will have similar problems with successful #deextinction (e.g. poachers, invasive species, expensive costs, etc.) #ees028

[Dime @ParadigmEidolon]

#rewilding: putting closely-related foreign species into N. America to regain lost ecologically important organisms (e.g. cheetahs) #ees028

[Dime @ParadigmEidolon]

The central #everglades planning project (CEPP) plans to restore the titular wetlands' water flow via man-made pumps and reservoirs. #ees028

[Dime @ParadigmEidolon]

Currently, the #everglades' freshwater flow diverts to east/west sides of FL--hopefully w/the CEP and a few decades this will change #ees028

[Dime @ParadigmEidolon]

There's a slippery slope here, b/c we could be putting off conservation and bring the species back later via #deextinction. #group4 #ees028
