Aethia Cristatella

The male is the one to show off to attract a mate. Sometimes you'll see the male pick up a seed, hop over to the female, and the two momentarily touch beaks as she takes the food, this is called “mate feeding”. Females choose their mates based on the male’s qualities such as the size of his black face mask as well as the color of his plumage and bill. When the female agrees to become his mate they sing to each other.

Although society advocates believing in a ‘sameness’ between people who are black or white, individuals are still organized by race, class, gender and sexuality into social hierarchies. These hierarchies essentially formulate stigmas that suppress certain races and discriminate against them. Caucasia written by Danzy Senna is focused around a young mixed girl, Birdie, who encounters obstacles in her life that help her form her own perceptions about issues regarding class, race, and sexuality. These obstacles fundamentally shape her to have a unique outlook on society where she begins to question white privilege and also sympathize towards the mistreatment of black individuals. Senna explores the fundamental problems that are associated

War and peace, a struggle still plagues society after 2,400 years makes Lysistrata relevant to the audiences today. New Zealand director

Lysistrata by Aristophanes is a prime example of Athenian old comedy from the prologues to the exods as it not only fills the audience with laughs through a wide range of comedic techniques such as double entendres, satire and vulgarity. Since Aristophanes creating the play in this format he has hidden some crucial and dramatic themes involved in the play. The themes so creatively disguised through the comedic techniques used were, gender roles, in strength there is unity and anti-war. The complex themes will be discussed throughout this essay along with Athenian old comedy and comedic techniques to provide evidence on how these dramatic themes were concealed. Through the use of Double entendres Lysistrata and the other Athenian women have

Finches scattered throughout the islands each showed unique feeding abilities based on their beak shapes. Long-beaked finches used their beaks to dig for food, while dense, short-beaked finches a stone’s throw away utilized their beaks in cracking seeds and nutshells. Now, if the variations between these finches did not occur from the common ancestral finch, would every bird be expected to survive based merely on the merit of having a “traditional” beak? Similarly, do dog’s need to lift a hind leg up when they pee because it’s their “traditional” stereotype, even though it provides absolutely no benefit in the efficiency of excreting urine; if anything, the sole benefit of being thrown off center of balance? Or, because it’s traditional, and my great-great-grandparents were, do I need to be heterosexual to conform in today’s society? Do I even need to identify myself in today’s society?

The concept of dominance in an ethological context is defined by the Merck Veterinary Journal as “competitive control over a resource in a limited circumstance and to the ability of a higher-ranking animal to displace a lower-ranking one from that resource.” However an animal’s relationship with another cannot be called dominant unless one consistently displays submissive behavior. (Landsburg, “Glossary of Behavioral Terms”) The concept of a “dominance hierarchy” is defined by Encyclopedia Britannica as “a form of animal social structure in which a linear or nearly linear ranking exists, with each animal dominant over those below it and submissive to those above it in the hierarchy.” Typically a social hierarchy is not established unless there is competition for resources. For social animals, who live in groups, establishing a hierarchy is often beneficial and spares energy because instead of fully battling for a resource, the animals can follow the order and avoid confrontation. Among most creatures, the establishing of rank is often achieved through what amounts to posturing, such

Morning brought the peace of a warm sunny day to the small town of Tributary; such a contrast to the violent events of the day before, still there was a sense of mourning in the air. The town folk spent much of the day recovering lost property. Everyone felt fortunate to have found their missing belongings. Everyone except Corvida Bratleigh! Rather than being thankful her playhouse was undamaged by the tornado, Corvida was angry that her playhouse was in Nikki Fernandez’s garden! The playhouse was hers, not Nikki’s and she was going to make sure that Nikki did not step one foot in her lovely little house.

Protection and reproduction are the main reasons primates live in social communities or groups. An example of the protection case are baboons. Baboons stick together to provide protection giant big cats, dogs and even hyenas. The reproduction case is pretty simple to explain. Like most humans, non-human primates want to carry on their gene and species.

Theia Resalta or also known as Alkie, is first born of the Resalta twins. After a few months of Marcelino's death. On bright sunny day, a seven year old Alkie and his younger twin Alky are playing with Krow and Lassie, running around the backyard while laughing. Alkie got excited then run to the road Lassie followed him, Alkie being clumsy one as always, got himself trip in the middle of the road. He stands up and starts crying loud. Lassie shakes his head and run towards his little brother but froze all of the sudden as soon as he saw a car

For instance, the Finches have a particular focus on family

The manipulations of the Bible and other texts aren’t an uncommon thing at all. Cult leaders can make use of the Bible for their own selfishness; however, unlike many other manipulations, the book “Malleus Maleficarum” focuses on women and witchcraft in the society during that period of time. Witchcraft has always been a concern during the early century as it is consider to be connected to evilness; people would judge this problem with prejudice viewpoints. Women aren’t being compared to men, but they are being used as a subject that is related to the Devil. Heinrich Kramer and Jacob Sprenger use the Bible in the “Malleus Maleficarum” to manipulate and accuse women to be witches under the spell of the Devil.

The main method of socializing, according to my observation, is grooming. During the two-hour time period, these two gibbons spend almost an hour grooming each other. To be more specifically, the female gibbon groom, while the male one rest on a tree. What also astonishes me is that the female groom exactly the same spot on the male body. It might be like what the professor suggest: grooming may serve way more than the purpose of keeping hygiene because we expect a larger area of the body to be groomed. It should not for reducing anxiety or heart rate because humans do not seem to be a threat to them since they see the presence of us every day.

Ecological isolation. Individuals mate in their preferred habitat, and therefore do not meet individuals of other species with different ecological preferences.

The Antpittas lifes are in danger because of its habitats that are endangered, their specific habitats are being torn down to provide more space and homes for humans. In 1992 researchers noted that these birds were extinct, until 1994 researchers noted that the Antppita was just extinct locally but species of this bird was still living. These small birds enjoy subtropical or tropical moist forest. The Antpitta has longs legs and a short tail. Both female and male look the same, they are dark brown on top and a grey color on the bottom portion of their bodies.
