The deep scattering layer which is made up of various organisms from planktonic to laternfish and larger squid undergoes a diel vertical migration from near the surface at night to well into the mesopelagic zone (200-1000m) during the day,

Did you get much exposure to the philosophy of science during your masters? I imagine the answer would be yes, but I am surprised that concept doesn't ring a bell as it sounds quite similar to what Kuhn describes in The Structure of S

Fair, but even in that statement its just weird to mix imagery involving music and silence unless they are being juxtaposed. And, it opens with: > In the ethereal melody of a once thriving reef So which is it, something akin to music, al

Your comment appears to imply Bayes theorem is all you need for a scientific framework and outside of that is just inadequate mathematical know-how to deploy it. I find it amazing really, a quintessential straight-from-the-summit [1] HN com

Residence times of greenhouse gases are on the years to centuries timescale. The economy tanking was a blip in the rate emissions were added to the atmosphere, but the net balance was still positive. And even if it wasn't, a single y

It's not that silly of a claim. Some farmed fish require a 20:1 wild fish feed conversation ratio. Modern salmon genetics (and feeds and culture techniques) have brought that down to essentially 1:1. If hybridisation resulted in a cavi

Quanta's articles are long and I don't invest the time to read every one I see, but the nature of the subject material doesn't lend itself to a TL;DR that captures what is actually interesting.

Haha it honestly would make a lot of work much easier. Instead we inject a little oxytetracycline into 1000s of fish which stains calcified structures and release them again in the hopes someone recaptures one or so x years later in the hop
