Significance

Pollinators are critical to maintaining terrestrial ecosystem function and the global food supply, but many are in decline. However, we have limited information identifying which species are at elevated extinction risk, limiting efforts to prioritize scarce conservation resources. We assessed the extinction risk of nearly 1,600 species of vertebrate and insect pollinators and found that more than one in five species is at risk of extinction. The major threats are climate change, agriculture, modifications to hydrological and fire regimes, and housing and urban development. These results can inform management actions to help prevent pollinator extinctions.

Abstract

Pollinators are critical for food production and ecosystem function. Although native pollinators are thought to be declining, the evidence is limited. This first, taxonomically diverse assessment for mainland North America north of Mexico reveals that 22.6% (20.6 to 29.6%) of the 1,579 species in the best-studied vertebrate and insect pollinator groups have elevated risk of extinction. All three pollinating bat species are at risk and bees are the insect group most at risk (best estimate, 34.7% of 472 species assessed, range 30.3 to 43.0%). Substantial numbers of butterflies (19.5% of 632 species, range 19.1 to 21.0%) and moths (16.1% of 142 species, range 15.5 to 19.0%) are also at risk, with flower flies (14.7% of 295 species, range 11.5 to 32.9%), beetles (12.5% of 18 species, range 11.1 to 22.2%), and hummingbirds (0% of 17 species) more secure. At-risk pollinators are concentrated where diversity is highest, in the southwestern United States. Threats to pollinators vary geographically: climate change in the West and North, agriculture in the Great Plains, and pollution, agriculture, and urban development in the East. Woodland, shrubland/chaparral, and grassland habitats support the greatest numbers of at-risk pollinators. Strategies for improving pollinator habitat are increasingly available, and this study identifies species, habitats, and threats most in need of conservation actions at state, provincial, territorial, national, and continental levels.

It's a Novation Circuit Tracks, and I have no idea how it actually works, but I just completely lost myself for an hour and a half fucking around with it lol

It does all the bleeps and the bloops! And the skkkkrtttttfffts!

Guess I'm a synth guy now lmaooo

We're bringing back the concord!

RIP Bozo

Inside I found this kinda odd bed exercise pamphlet for (I think) elderly people. I hadn't really thought about it but now I really wonder who I bought this from. I got it used and don't know them at all but i really wonder how long they had it and why they decided to sell it. I'm really grateful obviously since all of Han's works are out of print, but it still makes me wonder.

(P.S, is Han Suyin's work respected within china? If not what are the biographies used within China for Mao and Zhou Enlai domestically?)

(P.P.S, can't attach image since it's too large somehow:p)

I had a dream last night about it. You play as Harry again, who is a renegade cop now, but Kim still joins him anyway because reasons. Harry also only has one bullet left in his gun that he is saving for the man who killed his wife (they got back together in between games). Anyway, the first game dealt with the Very Serious theme of politics, so the second game deals with the Very Serious theme of sexism. One of the main characters in the game is a feminist who you help out a lot, but then at the end of the game it turns out she's made a machine that will destroy all sexist men (which goes too far) and she won't listen to Reason so you have no choice but to use your final bullet to stop her extremism. Also measurehead is back because he was a popular character, but he's just a cool tough guy now, because he realised racism is bad.

And in the dream I also pulled out a reaaaally long hangnail from my thumb and it was super satisfying.

Thoughts?

Should a level 12 illusionist really be dating a level 4 sorcerer?

Early votes are still incoming and may narrow this margin, but so far it's looking very good for Alex Brower, the DSA candidate for Milwaukee City Council

Don't you ever change, .ml!
