Father Nature : The Science of Paternal Potential
How and why human males evolved the capacity to be highly involved caregivers and why some are more involved than others. We all know the importance of mothers. They are typically as paramount in the wild as they are in human relationships.But what about fathers? In most mammals, including our closest living primate relatives, fathers have little to no involvement in raising their offspring and sometimes even kill the offspring sired by other fathers.How, then, can we explain modern fathers with the capacity to be highly engaged parents?In Father Nature, James Rilling explores how humans have evolved to endow modern fathers with this potential and considers why this capacity evolved in humans. Paternal caregiving is highly advantageous to children and, by extension, to society at large, yet highly variable both across and within human societies.Rilling considers how to explain this variability, and what social and policy changes might be implemented to increase positive paternal involvement.Along the way, Father Nature also covers the impact fathers have on children s development, the evolution of paternal caregiving, how natural selection adapted male physiology for caregiving, and finally, what lessons an expecting father can take away from the book, as well as what benefits they themselves get from raising children, including increased longevity and 'younger' brains. A beautifully written book by a father himself, Father Nature is a much needed and deeply rewarding look at the science behind 'good' paternal behavior in humans.

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.

How is the resting potential and membrane potential created?
The resting potential is created by the unequal distribution of ions across the cell membrane. This is maintained by the sodium-potassium pump, which actively transports sodium ions out of the cell and potassium ions into the cell. The membrane potential is created by the separation of charges across the cell membrane, with the inside of the cell being more negatively charged compared to the outside. This is due to the presence of negatively charged proteins inside the cell and the movement of ions across the membrane.
-
What is the resting potential and the membrane potential?
The resting potential is the electrical potential difference across the membrane of a neuron when it is not being stimulated. It is typically around -70 millivolts and is maintained by the unequal distribution of ions across the membrane. The membrane potential refers to the difference in electrical charge between the inside and outside of the cell membrane, which is essential for the transmission of signals in neurons.
-
Does anyone understand the resting potential?
The resting potential is the electrical charge difference across the cell membrane of a neuron when it is not actively sending a signal. It is typically around -70 millivolts and is maintained by the sodium-potassium pump. Understanding the resting potential is crucial in understanding how neurons communicate and how action potentials are generated. It serves as the baseline state from which neurons can quickly change their electrical charge to transmit signals.
-
Why is the resting potential negative?
The resting potential of a neuron is negative due to the unequal distribution of ions across the neuronal membrane. The inside of the neuron is more negatively charged compared to the outside, primarily due to the presence of more negatively charged proteins and organic anions inside the cell. Additionally, the selective permeability of the neuronal membrane to potassium ions, which are more concentrated inside the cell, also contributes to the negative resting potential. These factors collectively result in a negative resting potential, which is essential for the proper functioning of the neuron and for the generation of action potentials.

What happens during the resting potential?
During the resting potential, a neuron is in a state of readiness to transmit an electrical signal. The inside of the neuron is negatively charged compared to the outside, due to the unequal distribution of ions across the cell membrane. This is maintained by the sodium-potassium pump, which actively transports sodium ions out of the cell and potassium ions into the cell. The resting potential allows the neuron to quickly respond to incoming signals and generate an action potential when needed.

Can you explain the resting potential?
The resting potential is the electrical potential difference across the membrane of a neuron when it is not being stimulated. This potential is typically around -70 millivolts and is maintained by the unequal distribution of ions across the membrane. The inside of the neuron is more negatively charged than the outside due to the presence of more negatively charged proteins and an unequal distribution of sodium, potassium, and chloride ions. This difference in charge creates a state of readiness for the neuron to respond to incoming signals.

What is the difference between equilibrium potential, resting potential, and membrane potential?
Equilibrium potential is the membrane potential at which the net flow of a particular ion across the membrane is zero. Resting potential is the membrane potential of a cell when it is at rest, typically around -70 millivolts in neurons. Membrane potential refers to the difference in electrical charge between the inside and outside of a cell, which is maintained by the selective permeability of the cell membrane to different ions. In summary, equilibrium potential is the potential at which there is no net flow of ions, resting potential is the potential of a cell at rest, and membrane potential is the overall potential across the cell membrane.

What is the difference between action potential and resting potential?
Resting potential is the electrical charge across the cell membrane of a neuron when it is not sending signals. It is typically around -70 millivolts. Action potential, on the other hand, is a brief electrical impulse that travels down the axon of a neuron when it is stimulated. It is a rapid change in the membrane potential from negative to positive, and it is the basis for neural communication. In summary, resting potential is the baseline electrical charge of a neuron, while action potential is the transient change in electrical charge that allows for communication between neurons.
