Anyone studying ecology here?
I'm going to start 2nd year of a bachelor's degree in Sep. Previously did two years of countryside management to get a diploma. UK based.
What's your favourite aspect of ecology? Favourite interaction? Concept? What are you interested in?
Op here. Might as well contribute to my own thread.
I'm particularly interested in botany, but I also have become increasingly interested in entomology. I seem to be quite good with names and memorization, so I really like learning about taxonomy. Maybe a bit sad but right now I'm staying up at 3am to do memory tests on various insect groups.

Where are you from?
Are you looking to get into education for it?
What even is this? It doesn't look like a literal hornet.
This is in the UK, and that's a garden chair. Fucker was at least an inch big.

>It doesn't look like a literal hornet.
Probably because it's a fly. Hoverfly if I had to guess.

Possibly a Syriphid. Hoverfly.
Amateur botanist/entomologist and studying ecologist.

This is one of my favorite kitten pictures. They remind me of Brown, my Burmese kitten who ran away when he was 4 years old. He was 8 lbs, tiny and sweet like sugar. He loved kissing his tail.

Who are the fuckbois of the animal kingdom? Are they lions?

I think humans hold the fuckboy champion title, but lions are definitely second. Male lions are total douchebags.

These are the tiny fish I bought at PetSmart. I went in to check out kitten adoptions -- one tiny baby kitten bit my fingers over and over and clawed at my Patagonia bag -- it was one of the sweeeeeeeeeeetest baby things in the world, then I went to the fish department and fell in love with the glow in the dark fishes. Picture related.

Let me guess, they're in a bowl with no filter because you're inept?
Also, you look like ellen degeneres after a few years heroin and/or chemo.

Kitten is NUMBER #1 God.
Dear God, in Your strong hands, I place my life today, choosing to depend on You to light and guide my way.
When is toxoplasmosis going to be taken seriously as a disease?
And when is the myth of cats being good pest control going to die? They literally just kill off useful, NATIVE predators like snakes and attract even more rodents.
I don't even know what that disease is

when will that "let your cats outside and then cry when they come home mauled or you find them dead" meme will end?

My garden is infested with box tree moth larvae (Cydalima perspectalis).
What should I do?
eat them to assert your dominance over nature

Introduce their natural predator
With the help of the internet, we have successfully located a perfect cat. The most obvious step now is to breed it and slowly phase out all other, inferior cats.
However, for some reason nobody is taking this initiative. What's wrong? Selective breeding is OK when we do it to dogs, why not cats?

it's neutered
Peppercats is probably dead now.
I fed my fish a booger and now he acts all panicky what does he mean by this?

Will anything else love you more unconditionally than a Golden Retriever?

Your mother.
My pit bull has been throwing up all day and I don't know what the fuck to do. She hasn't had anything toxic and she's passed whole toys before. I'm scared and she's been my best friend for years what the fuck do I do

Take it to the vet
Take her to the vet you gigantic idiot. She's passed whole toys before, which should give you the foresight that your dog is just as much as an idiot and probably has blockage.
