Wildlife in the Anthropocene : Conservation after Nature
Elephants rarely breed in captivity and are not considered domesticated, yet they interact with people regularly and adapt to various environments.Too social and sagacious to be objects, too strange to be human, too captive to truly be wild, but too wild to be domesticated—where do elephants fall in our understanding of nature?In Wildlife in the Anthropocene, Jamie Lorimer argues that the idea of nature as a pure and timeless place characterized by the absence of humans has come to an end.But life goes on. Wildlife inhabits everywhere and is on the move; Lorimer proposes the concept of wildlife as a replacement for nature.Offering a thorough appraisal of the Anthropocene—an era in which human actions affect and influence all life and all systems on our planet— Lorimer unpacks its implications for changing definitions of nature and the politics of wildlife conservation.Wildlife in the Anthropocene examines rewilding, the impacts of wildlife films, human relationships with charismatic species, and urban wildlife.Analyzing scientific papers, policy documents, and popular media, as well as a decade of fieldwork, Lorimer explores the new interconnections between science, politics, and neoliberal capitalism that the Anthropocene demands of wildlife conservation.Imagining conservation in a world where humans are geological actors entangled within and responsible for powerful, unstable, and unpredictable planetary forces, this work nurtures a future environmentalism that is more hopeful and democratic.

What is an oxonium ion and a hydroxide ion?
An oxonium ion is a positively charged ion formed by the combination of a water molecule and a hydrogen ion (H+). It is also known as a hydronium ion and is commonly found in acidic solutions. A hydroxide ion, on the other hand, is a negatively charged ion composed of one oxygen and one hydrogen atom (OH-). It is a key component of basic solutions and is responsible for the alkaline properties of substances such as sodium hydroxide. Both oxonium and hydroxide ions play important roles in the pH and chemical properties of solutions.

What is an ion?
An ion is an atom or molecule that has gained or lost one or more electrons, giving it a positive or negative charge. When an atom loses an electron, it becomes a positively charged ion called a cation. Conversely, when an atom gains an electron, it becomes a negatively charged ion called an anion. Ions play a crucial role in chemical reactions and are essential for various biological processes in living organisms.

Renewable Energy and Wildlife Conservation
Brings together disparate conversations about wildlife conservation and renewable energy, suggesting ways these two critical fields can work hand in hand. Renewable energy is often termed simply "green energy," but its effects on wildlife and other forms of biodiversity can be quite complex.While capturing renewable resources like wind, solar, and energy from biomass can require more land than fossil fuel production, potentially displacing wildlife habitat, renewable energy infrastructure can also create habitat and promote species health when thoughtfully implemented. The authors of Renewable Energy and Wildlife Conservation argue that in order to achieve a balanced plan for addressing these two crucially important sustainability issues, our actions at the nexus of these fields must be directed by current scientific information related to the ecological effects of renewable energy production.Synthesizing an extensive, rapidly growing base of research and insights from practitioners into a single, comprehensive resource, contributors to this volume• describe processes to generate renewable energy, focusing on the Big Four renewables—wind, bioenergy, solar energy, and hydroelectric power• review the documented effects of renewable energy production on wildlife and wildlife habitats• consider current and future policy directives, suggesting ways industrial-scale renewables production can be developed to minimize harm to wildlife populations• explain recent advances in renewable power technologies• identify urgent research needs at the intersection of renewables and wildlife conservationRelevant to policy makers and industry professionals—many of whom believe renewables are the best path forward as the world seeks to meet its expanding energy needs—and wildlife conservationists—many of whom are alarmed at the rate of renewables-related habitat conversion—this detailed book culminates with a chapter underscoring emerging opportunities in renewable energy ecology.

What is the difference between the carbonate ion and the bicarbonate ion?
The main difference between the carbonate ion (CO3^2-) and the bicarbonate ion (HCO3^-) is the number of hydrogen atoms present. The carbonate ion has a charge of -2 and does not contain any hydrogen atoms, while the bicarbonate ion has a charge of -1 and contains one hydrogen atom. Bicarbonate is a conjugate base of carbonic acid, while carbonate is a polyatomic ion on its own.

What is the difference between a hydronium ion and an oxonium ion?
A hydronium ion (H3O+) is formed when a water molecule (H2O) gains a hydrogen ion (H+), resulting in a positively charged ion. On the other hand, an oxonium ion (also known as a protonated alcohol) is formed when an alcohol molecule gains a proton, resulting in a positively charged ion. While both ions have a positive charge, hydronium ions are specifically formed in aqueous solutions, whereas oxonium ions are formed in the context of organic chemistry reactions involving alcohols.

How are lattice energy, ion charge, ion radius, and melting temperature related?
Lattice energy is the energy required to separate an ionic solid into its constituent ions. It is directly related to the ion charges and inversely related to the ion radius. Higher ion charges and smaller ion radii result in higher lattice energies. As lattice energy increases, so does the melting temperature of the ionic solid. This is because the stronger the ionic bonds (as indicated by higher lattice energy), the more energy is required to break those bonds, resulting in a higher melting temperature.

When does an oxonium ion occur and when does a hydroxide ion occur?
An oxonium ion occurs when a water molecule gains a proton, forming H3O+. This typically happens in acidic solutions where there is an excess of protons. On the other hand, a hydroxide ion occurs when a water molecule loses a proton, forming OH-. This occurs in basic solutions where there is a shortage of protons. Both oxonium and hydroxide ions are important in understanding the behavior of acids and bases in chemistry.
