Happy New Year. I know things feel really hard for a lot of us right now, so let me tell you something important:
In the highland rainforest of NSW, in the Werrikimbe region, there’s a community of superb lyrebirds. Lyrebirds are known for their unparalleled mimicry: they can reproduce the call of any bird they hear (and many other sounds as well). They collect songs like crows collect shiny objects. The variety and complexity of their repertoire, and the skill with which they deliver it, determines their reproductive success.
They also compose songs of their own. These songs vary from region to region; they are learned by lyrebirds when they're young, and passed down from generation to generation with remarkable stability. If a lyrebird finds or produces a new melody that other lyrebirds like, they absorb it into the communal repertoire.
The lyrebirds that live in the Werrikimbe are called flute lyrebirds because in winter, when they're in love, they sing a complex rising melody which sounds like scales played on a flute. This "flute accent" exists nowhere else in the world; it’s unique to this one community. On cold mornings, it floats down through the mists like an enchantment.
How did this haunting melody come about? It's said that a young boy kept a tame lyrebird, and every day the bird listened to him practicing the flute. Then one day the bird escaped. It went to live with its wild brethren, and taught them this new song.
But the truth is much more magical: Lyrebirds composed this song all on their own. It's more complex than any human flautist could ever hope to achieve, and it’s got features unique to lyrebird melody and anatomy.
Lyrebirds live and breathe music. They are built for music. They spend their lives studying the soundscape. They listened to the world around them, all of the pain and suffering and desire and joy, and this is what they sang back into it.

In a paper published in the Journal of Ethnobiology, Marta Macedo examines "how cannabis was part and parcel of the lives of peoples from Angola recruited to São Tomé and, consequently, of the island's plantation worlds in the late nineteenth century."

We're delighted to announce the publication from Open Humanities Press of Dark Botany: The Herbarium Tales, edited by Prudence Gibson, Sigi Jottkandt, Marie Sierra and Anna Westbrook.
Available in open access and print:
http://www.openhumanitiespress.org/books/titles/dark-botany/
Dark Botany activates the material and sensorial wonder of plants. In this Wunderkammer of critical plant studies essays and plant+artworks, the herbarium emerges as a site of multiple materialities and reflexive forms of counter-narrative. Herbaria specimens come alive as assemblages, telling truths about their dark histories and darker contemporary currents, while reflecting on the complexity of texture, movement, memory, compound structure, chemical emissions and rapid evolution of plants and languages. What one discovers is that herbaria are not static: they are as vital, energetic and enigmatic as the plants in their collections.

@ecobioartlab So lovely to see the Eco- and Bioart Lab (https://ecobioartlab.net/) on Mastodon! Do give them a follow! #ecobioartlab #bioart #environmentalhumanities #art #biosophy
I’m late to this (he started in 2020), but if you’re on Insta at all, check out David Bieloh’s “United Colors of the Apocalypse,” from Asthmagenta to Butterscorch Orange, and beyond. I definitely needed these color swatches when the smoke from the Quebec wildfires came through here not long ago. #color #colour #anthropocene #WildFires #ClimateCrisis #EnvironmentalHumanities
