    On land, 95% of biomass is plants; 2% is animals + microbes. In oceans, plants are <10% of biomass; 80% is animals + microbes. Why the inversion? At sea, suggest et al., “it is not necessary to grow tall in order to reach the light.” No need for trunks & stems.

    Question: What are some issues/instances where human rights & animal rights—or at least interests—overlap? Could be globe-spanning or neighborhood-scale. Anything relevant is welcome! Asking for 's , who are working at this human/animal convergence.

    Just delightful: Why do whales who winter in polar waters make many-thousand-mile annual journeys to the tropics? Not only to feed, suggest et al. in , but to exfoliate. Some of nature’s most marvelous migrations may be motivated by skin care.
