If apes go extinct, so could entire forests


Bonobos eat a lot of fruit, and fruit contains seeds.
Those seeds travel through a bonobo’s digestive system
while bonobo itself travels around the forest. A few hours
later, the seeds end up being deposited far from where the
fruits were plucked. And that is where the new trees come
from.
According to a paper recently published, if the
bonobos disappeared, the plants would also likely go
extinct, for many trees and plants species in Congo rely
almost exclusively on bonobos for seed dispersal.
The bonobo has two major functions here. First of all,
many seeds will not germinate well unless they have been
“handled” by another species. Stomach acids and intestinal
processes make the seed more able to absorb water and
later sprout.
Secondly, many seeds will not succeed if they remain
too close to their parental trees. The seeds that fell to the
ground near their parents did not survive because they
were choked off by the nearby plants. The bonobos eat
about 3,5 hours every day and travel a mean of 1.2
kilometers from meal sites before defecating.

Are any foods safe to eat anymore? The fears and the facts

Food was once seen as a source of sustenance and pleasure. Today, the dinner table can instead begin to feel like a minefield. Is bacon really a risk factor of cancer? Will coffee or eggs give you a heart attack? Does wheat contribute to Alzheimer’s disease? Will dairy products clog up your arteries? Worse still, the advice changes continually. As TV-cook Nigella Lawson recently put it: “You can guarantee that what people think will be good for you this year, they won’t next year.”

This may be somewhat inevitable: evidence-based health advice should be constantly updated as new studies explore the nuances of what we eat and the effects the meals have on our bodies. But when the media (and ill-informed health gurus) exaggerate the results of a study without providing the context, it can lead to unnecessary fears that may, ironically, push you towards less healthy choices.

The good news is that “next year” you may be pleased to learn that many of your favourite foods are not the ticking time bomb you have been led to believe...

ADAPTACIÓN: LA CLAVE DE NUESTRA ESPECIE
Evolución quiere decir cambio a lo largo del tiempo. En esta definición se basó Charles Darwin para
escribir su famoso libro y desarrollar su idea sobre el origen de las especies. Una idea que parece que
ha tenido gran impacto en la forma de entender y estudiar el pasado de la vida en la Tierra. ¡Y vaya
que si tuvo impacto! La idea de evolución impregnó muchos campos del saber y permitió el estudio
del pasado del ser humano desde otra perspectiva.
Con el paso del tiempo se puede observar un cambio en los aspectos físicos del ser humano. Pero no
sólo se ha cambiado por fuera sino que el comportamiento del ser humano también ha protagonizado
cambios significativos a lo largo de la historia de su evolución.
Uno de los primeros pasos evolutivos hacia el humano moderno se le otorga al bipedismo. La
habilidad de caminar sobre las dos piernas empezó hace unos 4 millones de años. Desde entonces,
los cambios que se han producido en nuestra línea evolutiva han sido significativos. La introducción
de tecnología de piedra, el cambio en la dieta, la capacidad del lenguaje, etc. Y siempre con una
capacidad de adaptación sorprendente a nuevas formas de vida.
Si nos fijamos en la historia de la tecnología de piedra y en la de las telecomunicaciones centrándonos
en los teléfonos móviles, podemos observar un patrón común que se reproduce en ambas: la
tendencia a minimizar las dimensiones de las piezas y a hacerlas más finas. De verdaderos bloques
a objetos delicados y estilísticos.
La diferencia más notable entre una y otra tecnología es la rapidez del cambio entre diferentes
modelos. Mientras el desarrollo tecnológico de la piedra en los primeros seres humanos se prolongó
durante millones de años, en la era de las tecnologías tan solo se necesita poco más de una década
para evolucionar considerablemente.
Por tanto, pese a que lo más llamativo e impactante puede ser el cambio físico, el cambio de
comportamiento, el clima y evolución tecnológica quizás sean lo más determinante. Lo cual me
hace formularme la siguiente pregunta: ¿el cambio de comportamiento supuso el cambio físico
o fue al contrario? En cualquier caso, tanto un aspecto como el otro suponen evolución del ser
humano, y esto, hasta llegar hasta nuestros días, ha tenido muchos aspectos determinantes. Uno
de los más importantes sin lugar a dudas ha sido la inestabilidad climática que ha puesto a la
humanidad ante innumerables retos desde el inicio de la especie. Esto ha permitido desarrollar en
el género homo una capacidad abrumadora de adaptabilidad a los cambios del medio ambiente.

    A deep freeze this week in the Lone Star state, which relies on electricity to heat many homes, is causing power demand to skyrocket. At the same time, natural gas, coal, wind and nuclear facilities in Texas have been knocked offline by the unthinkably low temperatures.
    “The extreme cold is causing the entire system to freeze up,” said Jason Bordoff, director of Columbia University’s Center on Global Energy Policy. “All sources of energy are underperforming in the extreme cold because they’re not designed to handle these unusual conditions.”
     The ripple effects are being felt around the nation as Texas’ prolific oil-and-gas industry stumbles.
     It’s striking that these power outages are happening in a state with abundant energy resources. Texas produces more electricity than any other US state — generating almost twice as much as Florida, the next-closest, according to federal statistics.
     Wind power is also booming in Texas, which produced about 28% of all the US wind-powered electricity in 2019, the EIA said. But the problem is that not only is Texas an energy superpower, it tends to be an above-average temperature state. That means its infrastructure is ill-prepared for the cold spell currently wreaking havoc. And the consequences are being felt by millions.
     Critics of renewable energy have pointed out that wind turbines have frozen or needed to be shut down due to the extreme weather.
     Even though other places with colder weather (like Iowa and Denmark) rely on wind for even larger shares of power, experts said the turbines in Texas were not winterized for the unexpected freeze.
     But this is not just about wind turbines going down. Natural gas and coal-fired power plants need water to stay online. Yet those water facilities froze in the cold temperatures and others lost access to the electricity they require to operate.
     It’s too early to definitively say what went wrong in Texas and how to prevent similar outages. More information will need to be released by state authorities. Still, some experts say the criticism of wind power appears overdone already. “In terms of the blame game, the focus on wind is a red herring. It’s more of a political issue than what is causing the power problems on the grid,” said Dan Cohan, associate professor of environmental engineering at Rice University.
     The energy crisis in Texas raises also questions about the nature of the state’s deregulated and decentralized electric grid. Unlike other states, Texas has made a conscious decision to isolate its grid from the rest of the country.
     That means that when things are running smoothly, Texas can’t export excess power to neighboring states. And in the current crisis, it can’t import power either.

1 Guillermo del Toros’s The Shape of Water is the
latest meeting of the whimsical and the grotesque. The plot
unfolds as follows: in the 1950s, Elisa is a cleaner at a military
4 research laboratory, who happens also to be mute, which places
her among other minorities without a say: there is her
African-American colleague Zelda and her neighbour, the artist
7 Giles, who is gay. The screenplay brings together the
disenfranchised to save a fellow outcast.
The amphibious monster kept captive at the lab
10 doesn’t have a name, and his idea of a witty and humorous
conversation is to roar in your face. But Elisa takes a shine to
him. “When he looks at me, he doesn’t know what I lack or
13 how I am incomplete.”
In this film watertight ideas fight for space with flawed
ones. It begins with a dream sequence in which Elisa’s
16 apartment is submerged. When the scene is repeated later for
real, causing only a minor leak in the house below, the rational
mind has too many objections (the floor would !) for
19 the fantasy to survive. An amphibious humanoid with magic
powers we can believe, but a flooded apartment that is as good
as new one scene later doesn’t stand up. There are other
22 discrepancies too — like the sophisticated CCTV system in
1962, or the creature’s ability to wipe away the bulletholes in
his own body, sealing up the wounds, ET-style.
