An opsrey on some drift wood, it has it's butt towards the viewer and a stream of poo jetting out

Here’s my offering for today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme of #BirdButts - this osprey telling me what it thought of me taking its photo #Birds #wildlifephotography #birdwatching #birdphotography #canon #photography #nature #naturephotography #guano #osprey

How bird poo fuelled the rise of Peru’s powerful Chincha Kingdom In new research, biochemical analyses align with imagery and historical sources to show how the pre-Inca Chincha society turned guano into a source of power.

This decorated wooden object from Chincha, which has been interpreted as either a ceremonial paddle or digging stick, depicts seabirds and fish alongside human figures and geometric designs. The Met Museum, 1979.206.1025.

[8/8] L’étude étend l’aire connue de la fertilisation au #guano dans le monde pré-inca. Une ressource écologique spécifique peut structurer hiérarchies sociales, alliances politiques et paysages agricoles sur la longue durée andine. #history #environmentalhistory #agriculture #Andes

[7/8] Vers 1400, les #Incas intègrent #Chincha après une capitulation qualifiée de pacifique. L’État inca valorise le #guano au point d’en réglementer l’accès et d’interdire la chasse aux oiseaux sous peine de mort, signe de son importance stratégique.

Archaeological maize cobs were collected from sites in the Chincha Valley for isotopic analysis. C. O'Shea

[6/8] Cette intensification agricole a renforcé les réseaux marchands côtiers et andins. Les pêcheurs auraient collecté le #guano pour les agriculteurs et les commerçants. La ressource devient un levier d’expansion économique et d’influence régionale.

[5/8] Les images sur textiles, céramiques et objets en bois représentent oiseaux, poissons et maïs. Elles traduisent une compréhension systémique. L’océan nourrit les oiseaux, le #guano fertilise les champs, le maïs nourrit la société. Un cycle écologique intégré au pouvoir politique.

[4/8] Les chercheurs ont analysé 35 épis de maïs issus de sépultures. Les isotopes de l’azote révèlent des valeurs très élevées. Environ la moitié des échantillons correspond spécifiquement à un apport de #guano marin, confirmant son usage il y a au moins 800 ans.

Seabirds use coastal islands to build their nests, and find food nearby in the rich fisheries of the Peruvian current. Jo Osborn

[3/8] Le courant de Humboldt alimente des pêcheries très productives. Elles soutiennent d’immenses colonies d’oiseaux marins. Leur #guano, riche en azote et phosphore, surpasse les fumiers terrestres. Il fertilise efficacement le maïs dans un environnement désertique contraint.

[2/8] Le royaume de #Chincha, estimé à 100.000 habitants, contrôlait une vallée irriguée de la côte désertique sud du #Pérou. À 25 km au large, les îles Chincha concentrent les plus grands dépôts de #guano du Pacifique, accumulés sur plusieurs mètres grâce au climat aride.

[1/8] Trois chercheurs en archéologie et anthropologie montrent que le guano d’oiseaux marins a soutenu l’essor du royaume de #Chincha au #Pérou entre 1000 et 1400.

Ancient Peruvian civilisation grew mighty by harvesting guano The Chincha Kingdom was transporting seabird excrement from islands to valleys as early as the 13th century, and this powerful fertiliser may have been key to its economic success

Did you know that there’s a caterpillar in the Arctic that spends most of its life frozen solid?

Humans can’t manage without heat – so the (furthest north) town of Longyearbyen is on stilts to avoid melting the ice!
