As a student of wildlife biology and then energy, natural resources and environment, I think of a kind of viral anemophily cartography in the context of a container freight world of insular biogeographic potential. Propagules of countless species move with us in and via the modern transportation sector. Airs, waters, winds, thermal flux, places with temperatures, salinities and alkalinity, and each limitrophe of individuals and places all converge somehow in the entropic milieu of organic life on a geological planet where oceanology and meteorology meets heating, ventilation and air conditioning and currents may be a sneeze, a migrant population of Aves or Sapiens, a refrigerated container of flowers, fruits, or meats, a Hubei Wuhan wet market rat kabob, or, a more geospecific quality control issue in food or medicine. The microscopy of a milligram or the macroscopy of all NYC’s effluence needing to go into the Atlantic Ocean… We are living organisms amidst other living organisms and the idea of interconnectedness brings about reason and fear that the matrix of predator prey interaction, the pants and the animals, and lore yet realistic of parasitism and symbiosis in the migratory dispersal of begotten thus begetting… all speaks to an amalgamation of humanity and knowledge as a vantage to the known and to the future. The past is before Eden, yet by seven days or by geological time periods is for any to discuss. Suffice to say that modernity brings questions of climate and biotic interconnectedness in a “web of life” which may be fragmenting in the entropy of space or subject to propagule dispersal and the compromising of such as pollinator responsibilities for crops contextual to insular biogeographic mycology in bats and bees. We are reengineering nature. The question may be in regards to the viability of human life with or without a “web of life” and as to if agronomy can advance to cultivate the world without the further desertification of North Africa or Amazonia. What are the characteristics of a field, a crop, a yield, and can humanity survive without biodiversity?
