Any easy way to reduce my ecological footprint would be to purchase products package out of 100% recycled content #ees028 #recycle

[Zachary Carroll @ZJC212]

check out my ecological footprint! #ees028 #ecologistconfessions

#Insects can't survive in exotic landscapes we shape in our #gardens. This also affects higher trophic levels such as #birds #ees028

Oak trees can support 530 species of caterpillars compared to tulip trees that support only 20 species #native vs #invasivespecies #ees028

#NativePlants are disappearing because we remove essential components for the natural ecosystem to exist #NativeLivesMatter #ees028

A lot of eastern U.S rivers are likely not naturally made but a byproduct of early european settlements. Bring back #wetlands #ees028

Overabundance of dams combined with deforestation and soil erosion can lead to the destruction water habitats via aggradation #ees028

@geochurch To restore a species that is genetically engineered to survive in current conditions--Is it still the same species?

[Zachary Carroll @ZJC212]

@geochurch However I think the reintroduction of a cloned species would be nearly impossible due to a lack of genetic diversity and cost.

[Zachary Carroll @ZJC212]

@geochurch Such as gene silencing and increasing genetic diversity of small populations with little diversity.

[Zachary Carroll @ZJC212]

@geochurch I do find De-Extinction feasible but after reviewing both sides, I thought there could be some serious applications

[Zachary Carroll @ZJC212]

Can #DeExtinction be good? It could potentially silence harmful genes that plague species like the #tasmaniandevil #ees028

[Zachary Carroll @ZJC212]

Can #DeExtinction be good? It could help increase genetic diversity of a small population that is endangered. #ees028

[Zachary Carroll @ZJC212]

Can De-Extinction be good? It could provide case studies of why a species went extinct in the first place. #ees028

[Zachary Carroll @ZJC212]

@ZJC212 check out this interesting #NatGeo op-ed on the subject https://t.co/9XDBXMjOqH

[Zachary Carroll @ZJC212]

What do you think? Does De-Extinction only perpetuate the trend of molecular biology smothering the ecology studies and field work? #ees028

[Zachary Carroll @ZJC212]

Reinventing the #mammoth through #cloning of fragmented DNA remnants to bring back a species to a changed environment--not so smart #ees028

[Zachary Carroll @ZJC212]

De-Extinction, which refers to the cloning of a species, is not cost effective nor does it fix genetic variability. #Hollywood #ees028
