Huge numbers of smuggled isopods and springtails too, some of the recent springtail colonists in Ireland are thought to have arrived from the terrarium trade

How can conservationists ever hope to match developers in donations? It's a game designed to work against us

The rather rare Entyloma ranunculacearum on Ranunculus acris was a highlight, only the second time I've seen it

Bhí Gaeilic ag cuid acu seo fosta, a dúirt leithéidí "I'm fluent in Irish and I've never heard anything like this" agus mar sin de. Tá an scaradh sin ann le fada an lá ⁊ níl a fhios agam cén réiteach atá air má tá réiteach ann

Daoiní gan gaeilic a bhí iontu, déagóirí is mó a bíos ar tiktok ⁊ bunús acu cha chuala siad focal gaeilic taobh amuigh den tseomra ranga ina saol. Cuid mhór acu seans nach bhfuil a fhios acu go bhfuil cainteoirí dúchais ann. Ar an oideachas ⁊ ar an tsochaí a chuirimse an locht :P

scriosadh na comments ar tiktok ach tá an físeán céadna ar youtube www.youtube.com/watch?v=cud8...

Ní mhairfidh an teangaidh murab fhuil meas ag muintir na gaeltachta ar a gcuid cainte fhéin

Mar sin fhéin thig le mionlach déagóirí cur isteach ar dhuine go mór má ghní céad duine magadh air. Níl sé ceart go mbeadh ar an chailín bhocht seo rudaí den tseort sin a fheiceáil faoi fhíseán a bhí ag ceiliúradh a cuid scéalaíochta.

is maith a rinn tú ar scor ar bith, tá mé thaire bheith sásta le mo chlár ama fhéin

sén rud ab mhó a thaitin liom dá dtearn sé an tionscadal ealaíne a rinn sé le Red Fox Press darb ainm "sea tamagotchi", thuig sé go rabh tréan focla ag dul in éag agus gur maith an rud an ealaín le daoiní a spreagadh le úsáid a bhaint astu in athuair

tá mé eadar dhá chomhairle ina thaobh, léigh mé 32 words cionn is gur pronnadh orm é agus bhí sé lán amaidí (amaidí a théid in éadan na heolaíochta go trom ⁊ a ghní teangaidh dhraíochtúil na sí den ghaeilic) ach bhain mé sult as cuid de na cláracha teilifíse a rinn sé

which have specialist species. I think ultimately the two goals are similar but I question if ecological integrity is really well enough defined to mean similar enough things to different people to be workable

hmm I would distinguish biodiversity as a goal of conservation from biodiversity as a box ticking exercise though, the goal of conservation shouldn't be "maximise small-scale biodiversity everywhere" but to conserve global biodiversity which obviously includes low diversity habitats like bogs

how is it a better metric if it is harder to define? I don't really agree that biodiversity is the main focus of planning anyway, which generally protects individual species and not species-rich habitats

rinn muintir Bhéal Feirste brachán ceart den rud nach dtearn? cha dtig a dhul ó imeacht san europa go himeacht sa chultúrlann go furast

is leor nod don ultach :P

which makes it actually more expensive than barcoding (but a lot less time-consuming)

potentially, I haven't quite worked out how much it costs yet but I think they are going to sort rates at some point, apparently it's on the order of 30 quid a run (4 samples)
