Yeah, all those species that die when they have access to fresh water in areas they otherwise wouldn't sure would have a bone to pick with beavers.

Reply to Depression can lead to memory dysfunction. This study may pave way for new drugs. Results of a large study involving brain scans show that patients with moderate to severe depression have 7-10 per cent fewer serotonin 4 receptors in the brain than healthy test subjects. by Wagamaga
That reminds me of a study I read where depression can lead to memory dysfunction. Memory dysfunction was in a story I read about depression.
But, yeah, all joking aside, I super relate to this.

Reply to TIL: If you cut 2 different sponges up, disaggregate them (push them through a sieve), and mix the 2 cell-slurries together - the sponge cells reassociate with their own cells, but not cells of the other species. This is being studied to understand tissue repair and transplant rejection. by Geek_Nan
Um...what did sponges do to you to deserve that, research person?
