Dams trigger exponential population declines of migratory fish | Science Advances - 0 views
-
When the GD, the first dam across the mainstream of the Yangtze River, was built in the 1970s, the Chinese government explicitly demanded that the dam consider the conservation of fish.

Dams can harm migratory fish by disrupting their life cycles and then causing population extinctions.

We divide the species population into spawning stock (spawners), which are sexually mature adults participating in the current year’s breeding, and recruitment stock, which includes larvae, juveniles, and subadults that have not reached the reproductive age and sexually immature adults/post-spawners that do not participate in the current year’s breeding.

I like this sort of research. Do you think a game like this is either build-able or perhaps even getting access to the one they used? Is it open source? Can you track down this paper? I'm wondering about tying it to depression, etc. That might drift into territory they might not approve at this age (especially since all participants have paperwork they have to sign off on, and any participants under 18 have to have the paperwork signed off by a parent. I wonder if you might dig into introversion/extroversion and whether that might have an impact on similar things. Seems like it might.

This also makes me think of the UCSD juncos... and how they forage longer in stressful environments due to decreased corticosterone levels....... and how that is a key characteristic allowing them to survive in a human-built environment.
Airplane Noise Exposure May Increase Risk of Chronic Disease | SPH - 0 views
-
people who were exposed to higher levels of noise from aircraft were more likely to have a higher body mass index, an indicator for obesity that can lead to stroke or hypertension. The findings highlight how the environment—and environmental injustices—can shape health outcomes

self-reported body mass index (BMI)

The study is the first to explore a connection between aircraft noise exposure and obesity nationwide in the United States; past studies on this subject have focused on European populations, and results have varied
