Loveland Leases – The Screening Gauntlet How screening criteria exclude anyone harmed by the system, why the “front door” is as predatory as the lease itself, and how housing precarity becomes self‑reinforcing 1. The Myth of “Fair Screening” Landlords frame screening as: neutral, objective, standardized, necessary. But the criteria used across Loveland properties reveal something else:screening is the first layer of predation. It ensures: the vulnerable are excluded, the exploited stay exploitable, and anyone who asserts their rights is filtered out. Screening is not about safety.It is about selecting compliant tenants. 2. The Clauses That Create the Screening Gauntlet…

COLORADO LAWS THAT ALREADY EXISTED: Warranty of Habitability (C.R.S. 38-12-503) – since 2008 Retaliation protections (C.R.S. 38-12-509) Entry requirements (C.R.S. 38-12-510) Prohibition on unconscionable liquidated damages (C.R.S. 4-2-302) Due process requirements for eviction (C.R.S. 13-40-107) Prohibition on waiving statutory rights (general contract doctrine) 2016 – Onsite Property Management (1974 E 11th St)LIKELY ILLEGAL / UNENFORCEABLE CLAUSES:

These Lazy Bats Are Super-Efficient Killers That Carefully Conserve Energy to Attack at a Moment's Notice Wild fringe-lipped bats spend just one-tenth of the night in flight, but they can precisely snatch a calling frog and nab prey that rivals their own size

"In a study published recently in Current Biology, the team found fringe-lipped bats have a more than 50 percent success rate in capturing their prey and waste little energy doing it."

⚙️ Impacts emerge through #mechanisms (e.g. #competition, #predation, #hybridization, ecosystem engineering) but manifest at different biological levels—from individuals to ecosystems.

Confusing mechanisms with consequences is a common source of error in impact studies.

This sounds like a difficult but essential read. Too many of us have a collection of terrible stories or one very terrible story. It takes a toll. #sexualassault #women #predation #sexualharassment #victimization #books #GirlsPlayDead

One of my favourite projects to be involved with - love the combination of cool natural history and the ability to run field #experiments in natural #marine environments. Great work @sammatchette.bsky.social on leading the latest work. 🐟

The Evolutionary Fate of Those Who Prey on Conspecifics (I learned a new word.)

johntinker.substack.com/p/the-evolut... I learned a new word: conspecific. (The spell checker just now underlined it in red.) It means a member of ones own species. This is about predation (more red underlining) within a species, i.e. predatory humans, or predatory social classes. #predation

#Camouflage on the move.

Trumpetfish more often selected similarly coloured fish to ‘shadow’ (swim alongside when hunting).
Doing so reduced the anti-predator responses of prey.
