Which traits matter for linking individuals to ecology? Rota et al. reveal that behavior and physiology often outpace form in predicting ecological responses from individual performance to community and ecosystem levels.

I never realized there was so much variation in wine's alcohol content. The range varies from almost 16% to just below 9%. 🤯

"plants have evolved to respond physiologically to changes in the #environment,” said Mr Oh, adding that “flowering patterns will change in line with increased #climate #variability”. Other environmental factors include #temperature, light and #moisture levels, he said. The #public can visit trees.sg to find out where #flowering #trees can be seen"

Sociology, meet ecology: How the variability of coffee harvests can teach us about sustainable farming

The rootstock of a coffee plant can live for 20 to 30 years. In that time, a generation, it will have good years and bad years, years where it bears large quantities of fruit and years where it fails to produce as expected.

Wenn Variabilität auf 100 % Auslastung trifft, explodieren die Wartezeiten – selbst kleine Störungen bringen das System zum Stillstand. Nicht die Variabilität ist das Problem, sondern Systeme ohne Puffer: Wer ohne Slack plant, plant den Stillstand.

Embrace the uncertainty

Ever since Werner Heisenberg formulated the uncertainty principle, physics has been grappling with the unsettling realization that the universe does not function like clockwork—a metaphor Newton introduced and which held sway for centuries. In a world where predictability and uncertainty intertwine, interpretations range from die-hard determinists, who reject quantum events despite the mounting evidence, to more esoteric merchants of doubt who exploit the ambiguity.

If Werner Heisenberg […]
