Aggregation
No man is an island but as an aggregate, if we can remember who we are, we can become even more solid than a rock.
Maybe as an aggregate, we can become the rock we've always been looking for.
Aggregations of urchins were spread out all over this site. Closer (but not too close!) inspection revealed the Urchin clingfish (Diademichthys lineatus) swimming among the spines.

This building, probably the aggregation of three smaller buildings, derives its name from the discovery of human remains in a second floor room in 1831. This was the first body to be found in the town which had assumed to have been abandoned when the eruption began.

Physical characteristics
The Northern Fulmar is similar in appearance to a gull but stockier, with a thick neck, and more rounded wings and tail. The Northern Fulmar varies in color from mostly white, to gray and white like many gulls, to an overall gray-brown, with every possible shade in between.
Although the Northern Fulmar appears gull-like at first glance, its flight behavior is quite different. Stiff-winged glides and quick wing-beats are characteristic of its flight. When feeding on the surface of the water, the Northern Fulmar grabs prey at or just below the water's surface. It also dives into the water and propels itself using its feet and wings
Habitat
Found in the cold waters of the open ocean, Northern Fulmars breed on steep sea cliffs on islands or mainland promontories. They use cliffs farther north than do most high-Arctic seabird species, often crossing ice-covered water to get to their breeding sites.
Other details
Fulmarus glacialis is a widespread breeder in coastal areas of north-west Europe, which accounts for less than half of its global breeding range. Its European breeding population is very large (>2,800,000 pairs), and underwent a large increase between 1970-1990. Although the species declined slightly in the United Kingdom during 1990-2000, other European populations-including key ones in Iceland, Svalbard and the Faroes-increased or were stable, and the species underwent a large increase overall.
Populations in the Atlantic Ocean have experienced dramatic increases in recent decades. In the Pacific, several new colonies have been established since 1970, although there is no indication of dramatic increases in the Pacific comparable to those in the Atlantic. The commercial fishing industry is a major factor in the population of Northern Fulmars, providing them with most of their food. Large aggregations of birds can be found behind fishing boats, feeding on offal. While Northern Fulmars are not currently threatened, as colony nesters with high density in a few small areas, they are at potential risk if that habitat is degraded.
Feeding
The diet of the Northern Fulmar is varied, consisting of crustaceans, fish, small squid, and jellyfish. Fulmars commonly follow fishing boats and feed off the fish waste thrown from the boats.
Conservation
This species has a large range, with an estimated global breeding Extent of Occurrence of 50,000-100,000 km². It has a large global population estimated to be 8,000,000-32,000,000 individuals (del Hoyo et al. 1992). Global population trends have not been quantified, but there is evidence of a population increase (del Hoyo et al. 1992), and so the species is not believed to approach the thresholds for the population decline criterion of the IUCN Red List (i.e. declining more than 30% in ten years or three generations). For these reasons, the species is evaluated as Least Concern. [conservation status from birdlife.org]
Breeding
Colonial breeders that nest on open sea cliffs, Northern Fulmars breed mainly in high-Arctic Canada and on islands in the Bering Sea. These birds are slow to mature and do not start breeding until they are 8-10 years old. Unlike many of the other members of this family, they are active around their nesting colonies during the day. The nest is located on the ledge of a cliff or in a hollow on a bank or slope. When nesting on a rock ledge, the fulmars do not build a nest, but when they nest on a bank or slope, they make a shallow scrape, occasionally lined with small stones. The female lays one egg, and both parents incubate for about 7 weeks. Once the egg hatches, both parents feed the chick by regurgitation. The chick takes flight for the first time at the age of about seven weeks.
Migration
Dispersive. In temperate and subarctic latitudes, breeding adults present at sea within feeding range of colonies for most of year. Breeding ledges often visited during autumn and winter; inshore waters mostly deserted during moulting period August-October, though in recent years some present all year at older colonies. Juveniles disperse over great distances; probably immatures constitute majority seen mid-ocean.

Aggregation at its finest:
The development of tagging systems, such as the use of the infamous hashtag, has fueled a culture of collectors. As people hunt for news, they now have access to a variety of sources and have the potential to aggregate information as they see fit. A new element of choice is realised within the contemporary world of publishing, in which Internet users can select and organise their media content.
