Blackcap Raspberry
Rubus leucodermis
Rubus is a large genus with between 400 and 750 species. In the Pacific Northwest, the three most important native species are Blackcap Raspberry, Salmonberry, and Thimbleberry.  There are several smaller species, as well.

8/24 Field cricket, wildfires, Purple martins, Fraser R seim, Mud Bay Cliffs, democracy watch.

Fall Field Cricket
 
Fall Field Cricket Gryllus pennsylvanicus
Crickets don’t actually sing. Instead their song is played by moving scrapers on the edge of the left forewing across file teeth on the underside of the right forewing (the number of teeth and length of the file can be important diagnostic traits). The song of G. pennsylvanicus has 3-5 pulses per chirp, at a rate of about 2 chirps per second (at 77⁰; they are faster when warmer and slower when cooler). Females move toward the males, and answer the chirps with chirps of their own. The loudest crickets attract the most females, but they also attract the most predators, and it is believed that non-singing males sometimes lurk at the edges to take advantage of females ‘left at the altar’ by the death of a prospective mate.

Relay team swimming 1,375 km down B.C.'s Fraser River to promote rivershed protection
Since early August, Michelle Connelly's been part of a relay team that’s swimming the 1,375-kilometre length of the Fraser River to bring awareness to the importance of protecting the Fraser rivershed. By the time the swimmers are finished, they’ll have been in the river daily for almost a month.

(CBC) 

Protect Mud Bay Cliffs appeal denied
The latest challenge to a proposed subdivision in south Bellingham has failed, after the Bellingham City Council on Friday affirmed the hearing examiner’s approval of the Woods at Viewcrest project.  The proposed 38-lot Woods at Viewcrest development, which would sit above the estuary commonly referred to as Mud Bay, has been the subject of years of pushback from the volunteer group Protect Mud Bay Cliffs.

8/21 Anglerfish, invasive beetle, shocked fish, Canadian ESA, foxtail weed, California enviro laws, osprey rescue, democracy watch, week in review.

Anglerfish
 

Anglerfish
The anglerfish are ray-finned fish in the order Lophiiformes. Both the order's common and scientific name comes from the characteristic mode of predation, in which a modified dorsal fin ray acts as a lure for prey (akin to a human angler, and likened to a crest or "lophos"). The modified fin ray, with the very tip being the esca and the length of the structure the illicium, is adapted to attract specific prey items across the families of anglerfish by using different luring methods.

8/20 Vents, orca summer, Spokane river, wildfire costs, El Niño , tsunami, W̱SÁNEĆ park, democracy watch.


 

Hydrothermal vents
In 1977 near the Galápagos Islands off the coast of Ecuador at a depth of 2,500 meters (8,250 feet), ocean explorers first sighted hydrothermal vents, openings on the ocean floor from which heated, mineral-rich water emerges. The scientists found that these vents were surrounded by large numbers of organisms that had never before been seen. (NOAA)

Now a river stopped flowing: NW nature seems to be squealing
About 10 miles east of downtown Spokane, more than a mile-long stretch of the seemingly formidable Spokane River just stopped flowing. The boulder-strewn bed went dry. The same phenomenon happened last year — believed to be the first such flow break for the Spokane dating back more than a century. Danny Westneat writes. (Seattle Times) 

Cost to battle 20 wildfires in WA has topped $200M
In the span of a month, firefighting costs for 20 wildfires burning across Washington have totalled $207 million, according to data from the state’s Department of Natural Resources. The expenses will be split among local, state and federal agencies. But the number is telling: Those 20 fires, some of which are still burning, have cost more than two-thirds of what the Department of Natural Resources spent over the last state fiscal year battling wildfires. Aspen Ford reports. (Washington State Standard)

What an El Niño could mean for the Northwest 
It’s not often that you get a peek into the future. But climate scientists said Washington state has glimpsed into the crystal ball with low snowpack, warming temperatures and low stream flows. One such glimpse happened in 2015. That’s when Washington had its lowest snowpack on record, which led to hundreds of thousands fewer sockeye returning, major crops that didn’t do well and millions of dollars spent on fire suppression. By the 2070s or 2080s, these conditions could be normal. Courtney Platt reports. (NW Public Broadcasting) 

How hard would an Alaskan tsunami hit WA? New model full of surprises
