    You did a great job presenting, you are very smooth and articulate. I got lost trying to follow a couple points, perhaps you can clarify, specifically the gender binary points. 1. Are you suggesting the concept of gender applies to non-human life forms, as in other animals? This itself seems to be a big leap. 2. There are certainly common behavioural characteristics which are unique to a given sex in a species, with humans we seem to anchor this to gender and use it to explain non-conforming stereotypical, culture-based, behaviors. This leads to variability across human "tribes". The characteristics of the categories, as different as they maybe given religious practice (as an example), do not transfer across over or in any way related to other species. It is here where they seem entrenched but subject to evolutionary change. Bees would be a great example. A rather large Queen is served by many drones. The matriarchy lives on in melittology! The continued existence of the varies species of animals and plants certainly seems to rely on a sex binary. The point being - this has very little in common with humans. When we look at bees there is a vary noticeable physical size difference between sexes and the life span, role and limited purpose of the poor drone. For most animals they have a certain order to their existence. Meaning the "roles" are pretty much set - but I would not try to draw lines across species and suggest this is something remarkable that "could" apply to another species. That would be illogical and actually rather disingenuous if that is the intent. The roles are very instinctive, clown fish is an excellent example regarding just how deep this genetic coding can go. To the point of "becoming female". Again, I would not try to draw a line to humans. My mother died very young - I remained a male. I am not sure species are always framed within a dominance hierarchy but it certainly seems alive and well with bees. .It seems humans are the species that try hard to avoid any concept of order to the roles, I would suggest this is what makes us so unique to any other living species. 3. I found the hermaphrodite mixed birds fascinating. I was completely unaware. Thank you for that, It clearly demonstrates that genetic abnormalities exists in other specifics but they manifest in different ways. You see it in albino animals and other genetic mutations in the animal kingdom. Much like we have Intersex humans you can have genetic coding errors in what are typically the dimorphic sex categories with birds. As it is with humans, this isn't a revelation regarding a new sex category for birds or that the birds are somehow transgender. Simplistically, you can call what has happened with the birds unfinished business during maturation during a stage of development, much like we have Down syndrome,. The errors may also be some hereditary "bonus" passed down in the lineage like cystic fibrosis or, as is the case in my family, thalassemia. I suspect given the complexity of human DNA we are prone to greater genetic error. In the end you left me a little confused. I wasn't sure if you were trying to draw a parallel to humans with some of your examples? Humans aren't clown fish, we also aren't an I think its clear animals and plants can reproduce in their own unique way. What you helped demonstrate is the need for the equivalent of two sexes to make that happen.

    An app like iNaturalist is so handy. We used to do nature watching with guidebooks, which had serious limitations. Often I would figure out eventually that the guidebook was for a different part of the country, bird guides would only have one color morph or only breeding plumage. The apps have some trouble with closely related species, but I've found that that's often because all a person has photographed is the foliage and bark. If you can get the flowers, cones, fruit, etc. the app does way better. Thank you both for an excellent presentation!

      In dealing with riparian settings mitigation requirements for necessary removals require cover replacement ratios but no standards to track ecological function before and after work. There are so many opportunities to gather valuable info and create better replacement communities for our disturbance footprint when it *must* happen for public safety purposes.

    46:45 this is probably a bad idea as far as using invasive species to put down as they can reroot through branches and other live material. The Christmas trees aren’t a bad idea if you don’t have all the plastic tinsel and glitter all over. Just be careful is all I’d say but otherwise good ideas. Also promise to continue doing all I can in picking up litter and restoring our natural habitats. Thanks for all the work you do as well.

    Fully grown trees are still valuable no matter what kind they are because they are sequestering carbon. It’s better if you can add natives on top of what you have, if you have the space. Seems counterintuitive to chop down fully grown trees when there is too much carbon in the air. I could see people going overboard with removing all their ornamentals overnight.

    • @CheeferSutherland
      @CheeferSutherland Рік тому

      Removing them and planting something like an oak in it’s place will go a lot further than simply leaving the ornamental as a continuous base for further invasion elsewhere. Just my two cents.
