Resumen
Este estudio revela cómo las comunidades costeras irlandesas utilizaron los recursos marinos para la supervivencia y la resistencia durante la Gran Hambruna (An Gorta Mór, 1845-1852). Destaca las estrategias diarias pasadas por alto contra el hambre y la opresión colonial.
Área de la Ciencia:
- Su historia
- Estudios irlandeses
- La historia marítima
Sus antecedentes:
- Las narrativas dominantes del Gran Hambre (An Gorta Mór, 1845-1852) se centran en el fracaso de la cosecha de patatas y las políticas británicas.
- Estas cuentas a menudo descuidan el papel de los recursos marinos y las estrategias de supervivencia de las comunidades costeras.
Objetivo del estudio:
- Desafiar la historiografía tradicional del hambre mediante el examen de la explotación de los recursos marinos.
- Explorar cómo las poblaciones costeras utilizaron el mar para el sustento, la autonomía y la resistencia.
Principales métodos:
- El compromiso crítico con las cuentas primarias que detallan el control colonial, la ayuda y la resistencia local.
- Análisis de los aspectos pasados por alto de las estrategias diarias de supervivencia durante la hambruna.
Principales resultados:
- Los recursos marinos eran cruciales para la supervivencia diaria de las comunidades costeras irlandesas.
- La explotación de los recursos marinos proporcionó un medio de sustento y una forma de resistencia.
Conclusiones:
- Reevaluar el Gran Hambre requiere reconocer la importancia de la utilización de los recursos marinos.
- Comprender estas estrategias pasadas por alto ofrece una perspectiva más matizada sobre la supervivencia y la resistencia al hambre.

Water and Mineral Acquisition
33.7K
Specialized tissues in plant roots have evolved to capture water, minerals, and some ions from the soil. Roots exhibit a variety of branching patterns that facilitate this process. The outermost root cells have specialized structures called root hairs that increase the root surface, thus increasing soil contact. Water can passively cross into roots, as the concentration of water in the soil is higher than that of the root tissue. Minerals, in contrast, are actively transported into root cells.

Green Algae
202
Green algae, also referred to as chlorophytes, are different from red algae in having the chloroplasts containing chlorophylls a and b, which give them their distinct green hue. However, they lack phycobiliproteins, preventing them from developing the red or blue-green pigmentation seen in red algae. In terms of photosynthetic pigment composition, green algae closely resemble plants and share a close evolutionary relationship with them. Taxonomically Green algae belong to Phylum Chlorophyta in...

Osmoregulation in Fishes

When cells are placed in a hypotonic (low-salt) fluid, they can swell and burst. Meanwhile, cells in a hypertonic solution—with a higher salt concentration—can shrivel and die. How do fish cells avoid these gruesome fates in hypotonic freshwater or hypertonic seawater environments?

As the human population continues to grow and use resources, we must be mindful of our planet’s natural limits. Sustainable development provides a pathway to maintain and improve human life now while also ensuring that future generations will have the resources that they need. The long-term success of sustainability efforts rests on understanding the interplay between human actions and ecological systems.

The Colonization of Land

Changes in the environment of the early Earth drove the evolution of organisms. As prokaryotic organisms in the oceans began to photosynthesize, they produced oxygen. Eventually, oxygen saturated the oceans and entered the air, resulting in an increase in atmospheric oxygen concentration, known as the oxygen revolution approximately 2.3 billion years ago. Therefore, organisms that could use oxygen for cellular respiration had an advantage. More than 1.5 years ago, eukaryotic cells and...
