However, once she gets below SCUBA depths, she misses out on most of cephalopod diversity. I have attempted to add this aspect and perhaps some evolutionary biology to this target article
The consciousness inherent in chasing your tail
No full textWho is conscious and how do we know? Complexity in behavior and cognition is certainly a clue that cannot be ignored in identifying this trait, and as Mather’s target article shows, it is hard not to imagine consciousness arising in cephalopods. But how complex is complex? An alternative may be gleaned from the fact that all living things rely on negative feedback to navigate their worlds, and this requires all sentient beings knowing what is to be stabilized in reflection to themselves. If so, consciousness is a universal trait
Elephant Management in Southern Africa
No full textOn January 27, 2025, the South African Department of Forestry, Fisheries and Environment (DFFE) released the draft National Elephant Heritage Strategy for public comment, outlining objectives for managing and conserving South Africa\u27s elephant population.
