I dont know if it exists anymore but in like 2008 i bought a cutting drom arena ethnobotanicals. It prompty died. Theyre hard as hell to grow, and.ive been growing pot for most of my life. They need constant extreme humidity and indirect sunlight

Did it look healthy when it arrived?

>>2451566
>extreme humidity and indirect sunlight
finding cuttings is the least of your worries
if you don't build a proper greenhouse, you will fail

Twice in the past I've saved juvenile birds from the dogs and they just came back into the yard and got killed later though. I'd really like to know how to prevent this.

Do you know where the nest is? It'll probably just jump out again but I mean how far is the fence to said nest. Chances are no matter what there is still a high chance of it getting eaten. You can out it on the other side of the fence. Hopefully it's not a chainlink. Parents are still probably feeding it so it's important that you or the dogs don't bother it constantly.

Due to skunks in my yard I made it a habit to check around first and make my dogs wait. You could leash the dogs in your own yard or walk them instead. I've had to do that due to one skunk really loves my shed and I'm not about to just grab a skunk.

Why is it always China that gets to find the new dinos? They have like a monopoly on fossils over there. It's such a waste.

>>2451345

Yeah its really weird to see that almost all new fossils come from that country.
Maybe they never actively searched for fossils that much and they are just now starting to dig up their own new species since the last few years or so.

I hate china
Its all i know

Did this really deserve its own thread?

>>2451316
Because they are the most recent noticeable extinction and considered a "tragic" case since human persecution ended their species. Of course, Australia's biodiversity was already fucked due to the Aboriginals.

>>2451316
Bcause they can't say "white people did it" about the others.

The most concerned dog

1 Don't underestimate the amount of evaporation that takes place
2 The amount of possible aqueous colonizers just floating around is high, you might get algae overgrowth (perhaps not in 10 days, but idk, depends on sample)
3 If taken from habitat, the natural balance might shift and certain species might become outcompeted in a very short amount of time depending on what the conditions of your water are right now
4 It's really anyone's guess, because water can have a shit ton of organisms living in it..

How big are your containers?
Is there "just" water in it, or do you have some soil/rocks/plants in there too?
Was the place you took it from flowing or still water?
I'm no microbiologist either, but I have some basics, so other people with more knowledge will have to chime in on this..

just search for storage of microbial lake samples or something similar. this has some info around 5.6
http://www.who.int/water_sanitation_health/resourcesquality/wqmchap5.pdf?ua=1

The actual make up of your sample is going to be vastly different from what it was initially if anything is still living. I know in the teaching lab there is a small tank with mixed protists that they put a small tube in connected to the air outlet to oxygenate it. Research samples would normally be sealed and cooled to 2-6 C to slow down all biological reactions and transported within 12 hours for analysis. If you dont care about contamination you could make a hay infusion. You literally just put water sample in a jar and put some hay trimming and let it sit out of direct sunlight for a week. The hay provides nutrition for bacterial populations and protozoa eat the bacteria etc.

Even if you dont do a hay infusion this sheet mentions that protozoa require oxygen so each day use a plastic pipette to bubble some air in. You could do something like that to ensure sufficient oxygenation if you leave it at room temp.

Maybe you could try splitting your sample and trying a few different storage methods like room temp, and putting one in a small container filled with ice.

changing pH, chemical composition, dying microbes releasing junk and plenty of other things will occur over 3 days

>>2450893
Doesn't hay open up the risk for serious mold contamination though?

I live in an apartment complex
My maid is an asshole who always keeps messing with my stuff so she can leave early
I was pulling an all nighter and she came at 8
Kept telling her to put the cats in my brothers room if she ever opens the balcony
Started snoozing on the couch every half an hour i'd wake up from her noise and check on the cats
She let them out of my brother's room twice while the balcony is wide open
I kept putting them back in my brother's room
I gave up and slept and woke up to my kitten no where to be found
4 hours later i found him laying by the flower pots 8 stories below my balcony

>>2450975
Punch the stupid whore.

>>2450725
Probably, looks like it's almost an adult. You really need to worry about birds when they are either all naked and pink, or messy looking and missing patches of feathers all over.

>>2450749
Alright, I'll see if it's still there tomorrow. It was literally sitting at one of the sides of the escalator towards the end. Nobody seemed to notice itt when they were going down the escalator.

>Is it going to survive?

Who fucking cares - it's basically a rat with wings. Stamp on it.
