The Hive Tarantula (Theraphosa vesparium) enters a symbiotic bond with a swarm of wasps, allowing them to build a colony on its abdomen. The spider protects the queen and larvae, and the wasps help feed it.
This mutualistic unit of tarantula and wasp is extremely territorial.

Sounds like a good analogy for ecological disturbances 🤔
Resilience is not resistance to suffering. It’s the capacity to bend without breaking.
Strength doesn’t come from ignoring pain. It stems from knowing that your past self has hurt and your future self will heal.
Fortitude is the presence of resolve, not the absence of hardship.

I will soon open up calls for a PhD student (free choice of topic as long as it fits to our group) and a scientific programmer / ecological data scientist. If you know what we are doing and would like to join our team, feel free to get in touch.

I use #ggplot #gganimate #Rstats to visualize spatiotemporal trends in public ICE detention data.
Watch ICE detention increase over time: more detainees (bigger dots), more non-criminals (blue → red), and more jails far from the border in 2025.
