Population Density Isn't Always Where You Expect: A Top 10

YouTube

The #koala #Phascolarctos #cinereus (Diprotodontia) is a threatened species in Queensland and New South Wales, which, however, according to F. Saltré et al. (2026), has an excessive #populationdensity in #Australia's #MountLofty Ranges, leading to mass starvation, which is why fertility-control strategies for conservation may become necessary

Not exactly. What the issue is is "the cold parts of Canada are too thinly populated to have the electric infrastructure necessary for quick charging to allow you to travel between cities reliably in the extreme cold". We can discuss the details - the math shows pretty conclusively how electric vehicles are not an alternative in a lot of situations in the prairies and the north - but it's all stuff I've gone through before. If you're one of the "just switch to electric already!" city-dwellers from lower BC or the Windsor-Quebec City corridor who's never lived elsewhere, you really don't have a frame of reference for this.

"Canada is too cold for electric cars" is a straw-man argument that nobody is making.

Hype for the Future 40B: Delaware and Pennsylvania Compared

Delaware and Pennsylvania share the status as the two earliest states to be admitted into the then-newfound United States of America. However, Delaware was first, and Pennsylvania would become second. While Delaware was admitted separately and into an independent state, colonial Delaware was extremely linked with and connected to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Although both colonies had been represented through a shared William Penn heritage, Delaware was largely semiautonomous, with the […]

Also, the problem is not #overpopulation, the problem is spots of high #populationdensity. Big difference. A vast interconnected network of small self-sufficient villages/cities in exchange of support based on mutual help is long therm sustainable. Of course it doesn't suit if the goal is to make profit off of other people's work.

A new article in *Science* summarizes ongoing changes in demographics and fertility, but identifies only economic and health-related factors as likely drivers (https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.aed1652). It fails to acknowledge the strong negative relationship between population density and reproduction that is seen throughout the animal kingdom and also in humans (e.g., https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8549112/).

Overpopulation (Zoology 🦥)

Overpopulation or overabundance is a state in which the population of a species is larger than the carrying capacity of its environment. This may be caused by increased birth rates, lowered mortality rates, reduced predation or large scale migration, leading to an overabundant species and other animals in the ecosystem competing for ...

Reevaluating the World's Most Densely Populated Islands: A Closer Look at Population Data

The article dives into the true statistics behind claims about the most densely populated island in the world. Common reports say Santa Cruz del Islote, a small artificial island off Colombia, holds this title, but closer examination reveals discrepancies. The population is actually 779, not 1,200, ...
