Partecipa anche\u00a0Action Aid<\/a>,\u00a0<\/strong>per chi vuol sapere cosa facciamo, come e perch\u00e9.<\/p>\n *<\/p>\n Oggi su Nature<\/em>,\u00a0Lesley Evans Ogden ricorda <\/a><\/strong>che in Canada il governo conservatore ha imposto agli scienziati “nove anni di censura”. Poi ci sono state le elezioni,<\/p>\n Six months later, the government is loosening its grip on communications but the shift at some agencies has not been as swift and comprehensive as many had hoped. And with the newfound freedom to speak, the full impact of the former restrictions is finally becoming clear. Canadian scientists and government representatives are opening up about what it was like to work under the former policy and the kind of consequences it had. Some of the officials who imposed the rules are talking about how the restrictions affected the morale and careers of researchers. Their stories hint at how governments control communications in even more politically repressive countries such as China, and suggest what might happen in Canada if the political winds reverse.<\/em><\/p>\n ***<\/p>\n Neonix<\/strong><\/p>\n Su Scientific Reports,<\/em> quindi in open access, Stephen Moffatt et al. pubblicano<\/a><\/strong> l’ennesima ricerca sugli effetti nelle colonie di bombi dei neo-nicotinoidi\u00a0clothianidin (Poncho, Dantop e forse altri nomi commerciali),\u00a0imidacloprid (IMD, Confidor\u00a0idem<\/em>) e thiamethoxam (TMX, Actara ibidem<\/em>):<\/p>\n Bee immobility was induced only by imidacloprid, and an increased vulnerability to clothianidin toxicity only occurred following chronic exposure to clothianidin or thiamethoxam. At the whole colony level, only thiamethoxam altered the sex ratio (more males present) and only clothianidin increased queen production. Finally, both imidacloprid and thiamethoxam caused deficits in colony strength, while no detrimental effects of clothianidin were observed. Given these findings, neonicotinoid risk needs to be considered independently for each compound and target species.<\/em><\/p>\n L’anno scorso su Nature<\/em> invece,\u00a0<\/span>Maj Rundl\u00f6f et al<\/a><\/strong>.<\/strong> scrivevano:<\/span><\/p>\n In a study with replicated and matched landscapes, we found that seed coating with Elado, an insecticide containing a combination of the neonicotinoid clothianidin and the non-systemic pyrethroid ?-cyfluthrin, applied to oilseed rape seeds, reduced wild bee density, solitary bee nesting, and bumblebee colony growth and reproduction under field condition<\/em>s…<\/p>\n ***<\/p>\n Carpageddon<\/strong><\/p>\n Dopo i tentativi falliti di sterminare i conigli con il virus della mixomatosi, ieri il governo australiano ha annunciato al Parlamento un piano<\/a> <\/strong>per sterminare le carpe, introdotte un secolo e mezzo fa in laghetti per pescatori e che grazie alle ripetute alluvioni dell’ultimo decennio hanno invaso il bacino del Murray-Darling. <\/span>Dalla<\/a> BBC<\/a><\/strong>:<\/span><\/p>\n The federal government wants to release cyprinid herpesvirus (carp herpesvirus) – which first appeared in Israel – into the Murray River to kill around 95% of the carp. Science Minister Christopher Pyne said the virus would have no impact on humans, but the clean-up would be costly. Thousands of carp are expected to die after the virus is released. “Suddenly, there will be literally hundreds of thousands, if not millions of tonnes of carp that will be dead in the River Murray,” Mr Pyne said.<\/em><\/p>\n Rif. anche\u00a0The Conversation<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n ***<\/p>\n “What a coincidence”<\/strong><\/p>\n In un esercizio di pseudo-scienza come definita da Daniele Fanelli,\u00a0Tamino<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>cerca\u00a0<\/strong>negli USA un posto e un periodo di global cooling e finalmente lo trova:<\/p>\n Allright! Now\u00a0that\u2019s\u00a0a nice big blue dot on Alabama; its daytime-high summer-only temperature linear trend shows cooling at -1.5\u00b0F\/century. That\u2019s something to talk about.

\nRecently\u00a0John Christy and Richard McNider<\/a> put together some new temperature time series to compare with climate model simulations. The only used locations in Alabama, only daytime high temperatures, and they used only data from summer months. What a coincidence.<\/em><\/p>\n
