To place these findings in a broader context, the newly reported assemblages were analyzed together with other Pleistocene assemblages across the IWP region (Indo-West #Pacific). Only weak geographic and temporal separation was detected, suggesting a relatively #cosmopolitan #community composition in #subtropical waters during the #Pleistocene, likely reflecting low temperature variability despite glacial–interglacial cycles.

Having my first crack at hot #compost! (18 day method-discoverpermaculture.com) Inputs:
Lilly Pilly hedge trimmings run through wood chipper (about 0.4m3),
grass clippings with a dose of dry Lilly Pilly tree leaves (~0.2m3),
compost from cold compost bin (~0.1m3),
worm castings as activator.
A little under the min 1m3 recommended but seems to be working-temps:
Day 4: 58.5 degrees Celsius (137F)
Day 6: 52 C (126F)
Day 8: 53 C (127F)

Love to hear any tips!

This #Florida farmer I follow experienced devastating loss during the unusual cold spell we had last week. It's tough--I think Florida is technically #subtropical. So, while we can get away with growing tropical #plants most years, we know in the back of our minds that a freeze is possible and that we could lose it all. Fortunately, #Sarasota did ok. My plants didn't love it, but they survived. #gardening

It was sunny yesterday and cloudy the day before in that part of Greater Houston I live in, but they had two things I did not like: they were dry days. There should have been snow, ice, frost, or anything involving frozen water. Bwagh, here's hoping that February will bring something rare (and safe) in our subtropical climate.
