Angela Davis: Portrait of a Revolutionary (1972)

[a-solitary-sea-rover-backup]

Consider Cape Horn, an imposing black coloured lonely lump of rock. 425 metres high, 12 km² at the end of the world, swept by violent storms. All in all a very hostile, lonely area to work at. Welcome to the work environment of José Luis Luarte Sepúlveda the lighthouse keeper who looks after the light at Cape Horn and keeps weather eye over the passing marine traffic. The Vendée Globe editorial team spoke with the Chilean soldier who has been living at Cape Horn for four years with his wife, children and cat.

Given the chance José Luis exchanges on VHF with the intrepid sailors, sometimes frightened, sometimes overexcited at having reached this milestone. Arriving here in November 2022, he was able to talk to skippers of the Golden Globe Race and has fond memories of his exchange with Kirsten Neuschäfer, winner of the event and the first woman to win a solo round the world race. The lighthouse keeper knows the Vendée Globe well, he was able to photograph the first ones as well as Yannick Bestaven, with whom he was able to talk briefly on the VHF, as the latter was preparing to reach Ushuaia. José Luis is looking forward to talking to the next 23 sailors who will pass in front of "his house"!

The Silent Facilitator of Plant Invaders in Northern Chile

The Silent Facilitator of Plant Invaders in Northern Chile https://ift.tt/AF8PBLi Invading a habitat is easier when you have a friend to help. De La Cruz and colleagues have investigated an intriguing mechanism of plant interaction among exotic species in central-northern Chile. Their research focuses on two exotic halophyte species, Mesembryanthemum crystallinum and Mesembryanthemum nodiflorum, investigating how the former may indirectly support the establishment of the latter by increasing soil salinity to suppress native competitors. Their work, published in Biological Invasions, has implications for understanding how these exotic species may unintentionally promote each other’s proliferation, leading to biodiversity loss and the displacement of native species.  Mesembryanthemum crystallinum in Fuerteventura. Image: Canva. De La Cruz’s team found that Mesembryanthemum crystallinum increases soil salinity, suppressing the growth of salt-susceptible native competitors, such as Helenium urmenetae. This increased salinity did not hinder but instead seemingly favoured Mesembryanthemum nodiflorum, allowing it to flourish alongside Mesembryanthemum crystallinum. The researchers also observed that a salt-tolerant native plant, Amblyopappus pusillus, could endure this change in soil conditions. These findings open up a new understanding of how certain exotic species could indirectly facilitate the establishment of other exotic species. This process could lead to significant biodiversity loss if unchecked. The concept of indirect facilitation among exotic species is not new. It’s a phenomenon that has been observed in different forms, such as increased light availability, increased canopy shade cover, or modification of soil microorganisms. What’s new about De La Cruz’s research is the experimental evidence on how increased soil salinity can promote this kind of interaction among halophytic, or salt-tolerant, exotic species.  To arrive at these findings, the researchers carried out field co-occurrence surveys at Quebrada El Romeral coupled with greenhouse germination and competition experiments. They found all four of their study plants in the Chilean desert, but not happily side-by-side. They found that both Mesembryanthemum crystallinum and Mesembryanthemum nodiflorum tend to co-occur, suggesting a form of mutual facilitation. One native plant, the salt-tolerant Amblyopappus pusillus, could grow next to Mesembryanthemum patches. However, another native plant, Helenium urmenetae, could not. A study of the soil in the Mesembryanthemum patches found it was more saline under Mesembryanthemum crystallinum than elsewhere. Germination experiments confirmed that the Mesembryanthemum plants had a strong advantage in saline soils. This demonstrated that if Mesembryanthemum crystallinum can increase the salinity of soils, then other halophytes, salt-tolerant plants, can invade and establish, say De La Cruz and colleagues in their paper. The present study, set in the framework of the invasional meltdown (Simberloff and Von Holle 1999; Simberloff 2006), supports the notion that the global, progressive accumulation of exotic plants cannot be explained solely by the ecological responses of single exotic species to environmental factors (MacDougall and Turkington 2005). Exotic species may facilitate the establishment of other exotic species, promoting their high co-occurrence, and likely resulting in a greater impact on native species diversity (Braga et al. 2018; Stotz et al. 2020).  De La Criuz et al. 2023.

my buddy and i were chatting and ended up spontaneously working on a collab accent LOL

(we Barely kept it under the 30% coverage lmao)

anywho, this is a collab with my good pal Aeothyr over on fr! its up for pre order on my accent shop rn :)
