Voltage Gate: The new Encyclopedia of Life: Collections

http://thevoltagegate.blogspot.com/2011/09/i-have-to-admit-i-didnt-use.html

September 5, 2011. The new Encyclopedia of Life: Collections. I have to admit, I didn't use the Encyclopedia of Life. Very frequently in its first incarnation. I perused for media every now and then, or doubled checked the taxonomy for a species, but it was not a touchstone for research. The relaunch, however, gives users new functionality to make the experience more organized for personal and community use. I started a collection of monotypic taxa. From the red panda, the sole species in the genus.

April 26, 2012. When artists discuss conservation science. It should be documented as the grandest, most sweeping appeal to tradition in history: to undermine the impulse to conserve, to manage habitats and wild populations, they argue for the "natural" flow of life, that livings things die, populations disappear under pressure, laissez-faire. Rhetoric dismissing modern extinction spasms. The agents of this argument are far more interesting than the content of it. With the recent advances in neurolog...

Voltage Gate: [Un]remarkable space

http://thevoltagegate.blogspot.com/2011/08/unremarkable-space.html

August 31, 2011. Another move finished. That's seven-ish in the past four years. I swear I'm not going anywhere this time. I said that in February of this year. "We're not going anywhere this time. I swear." That's the hindsight bastardization, anyway. Do they harden in maturity? Part of the concrete frame around our window crumbled in last week's earthquake. I took a picture of it during the hurricane:. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Voltage Gate was the personal weblog of Jeremy, a writer in DC.

February 20, 2007. Know Your Biomes III: Tropical Dry Forest. The soils are often relics of the ancient continent Gondwana. Especially in directly detached, isolated systems like New Caledonia. The soils are more fertile than that of the rain forests, but erosion is higher, especially in deforested areas. Are home to large forests of dipterocarps. Pdf) and other evergreens, able to utilize the blessings of the monsoon rain season. A myriad of kingfishers and flycatchers, the Komodo. While I'm generally w...
