Reply to comment by Somnif in What are more accepted hypotheses that similarly explain the aspects of hominid evolution that the "pseudoscientific" aquatic ape theory does? by KEVLAR60442
Exactly. You don’t have to be the best at something, just better than anyone else around you

Reply to TIL eels swim from a lake in Australia through stormwater drains and across the ocean to lay eggs in New Caledonia where they die. Their eggs hatch and make the return journey back to the lake they came from. by Aussiewhiskeydiver
Eels are catadromous. They spawn in saltwater, then journey to freshwater to mature. Salmon are anadromous. They spawn in freshwater then journey to saltwater to mature

Yes, but there is a difference between catadromy and anadromy

Aqueous just means that it’s dissolved in a liquid. Ionic things dissolved in a liquid get covered in water molecules because the water molecules are polar and the ions are charged. Non-ionic things dissolved in liquid are usually just polar and can form hydrogen bonds with the water molecules so that it looks like a single solution as opposed to when things don’t dissolve
