Northern Long Eared Bat Research Paper

     Is baseball America’s pastime? For the major leaguers maybe, but for college athletes it seems more like a new age video game. The introduction of high dollared aluminum bats produce football like scores, higher statistics, and a percentage of danger to each and every player on the field. The NCAA has changed the regulations of the bats so far and should look further into to making another change to wooden bats.

There is a debate between scientists whether vampire bats should be killed or not. Firstly, ranchers, believe that vampire bats should be killed. For example, Chris Kraul a writer for the Los Angeles Times, shares that bats are feasting and killing off the cattle. Thus, this point proves that bats should be killed(Kraul). Secondly, Researchers believe that bats should be saved. For instance, Kraul reports that the theory for all of the attacks on the livestock are cause by timber cutting so the bats are losing food rich forests so they head toward the cattle for food. Therefore, this confirms that it is our fault for the bats attacking the livestock. Thirdly, I believe that bats should not be killed. To illustrate, Kraul tells bat based research

What’s a bat and star combined that lives underwater? The answer is bat star! Bat star, or ‘asterina miniata’ (scientific name) is a marvelous invertebrate. Its scientific name was way too complicated to comprehend, but bat star had another name called ‘patiria miniata’, which meant vermilion dish (scarlet dish). In this animal report, I will be presenting animal anatomy and appearance (bat star’s physical characteristics), classification (what kind of invertebrate bat star is, how I know it, etc.), habitat (where bat star lives) and diet (what bat star eats and other information about bat star’s food).

The red necked cane borer, Agrilus ruficollis (F.), is a buprestid beetle that infests wild and cultivated blackberries and raspberries in the eastern states from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico. Adults are about 6-7 mm (1/4 inch) long, with an iridescent coppery pronotum. A related species, Agrilus rubicola, may occur concurrently. This species is uniform in color, ranging from copper-colored to iridescent green. On galled plants, there is less live vegetative growth and more dead wood. There is often reduced berry size and number, as well as vegetative growth with increasing number of galls per plant. Affected canes may not produce fruit. Canes weakened by galls are more subject to winter injury.

Bats are unique creatures that co-exist with the human race. Bats are the only mammals that developed the skill to fly. The bats' diets dispose of several annoying insects, maintains plant life, and keeps certain animal populations from escalating. Bats adapted to almost every part of the globe like North America, South America, Africa, and Alaska. Next time, try looking outside at dusk to see if you can spot this creature of the

“California has it’s own list of endangered species of animals.” Like all states, California is home to many species of animals that are listed and protected under the U.S. Endangered Species Act. (http://www.allaboutwildlife.com/endangered-species/californias-endangered-animals/6037)

Achieving a powerful swing is difficult, so having the best equipment is imperative. To start, grab shock resistant batting gloves and the appropriate bat. The correct bat length is figured out by balancing the bat the top of the barrel. When balanced on the floor, the knob of the bat should graze the bottom of the groin. Each league has different bat regulations based on the bat’s composition. In a wood bat league, the best type of wood is maple because it is more dense, resulting in less flexibility, and more strength than ash. The less flex a bat has the more power the batter can generate because the change in velocity, known as inertia, will be greater resulting in a more powerful impact. In a metal bat league the best choice is a one part composite bat because, like a

Can you imagine a world without any animals? Would plants overpopulate? How would we survive? Well, scientists estimate that about 150 to 200 species of plants, animals, birds, and fish become extinct every day. They say that species are disappearing at an alarming rate. Long-eared Owls are becoming even more threatened every day and everyday more habitats are lost. We need to help them gain their populations back again.

In June of 2011, the Asian Longhorned Beetle was found in Clermont County, about 30 minutes from where I live now. Clermont County is home to East Fork State Park, a 4,870 acre state park which is comprised of about 50% woodland. The Asian Longhorned Beetle (ALB) is an invasive insect in Ohio that will host in about 10 different types of trees. This is an important topic to me because this invasive insect is not only single-handedly taking down forests in Ohio, but the introduction of an invasive species also disrupts the soil, air, and water quality. I chose this topic because more people need to be aware of the little things they are doing that can affect the environment. By moving firewood, different types of lumber, or nursery stock to a location that is not affected by the ALB will just make matters worse.

The first time I played baseball was when I was five years old. Whenever I got up to the plate, I was so confident I was going to hit the ball far and hard while using a light metal baseball bat. Fast forward to the fall of 2016, where I could no longer use a metal bat, but instead, I had to walk up to the plate with a wood bat. For about the first six games, I could not hit the ball out of the infield. I got into a bad slump and started to get very down on myself. I later learned from my coach that swinging a wood bat is very different than swinging a metal bat. He said that you have to do a fine job of getting the barrel out to the ball very quickly with the wood bat. After swinging the bat more and more, I understood what he said. But I

Theodore Roethke’s poem ‘The Bat’ clearly focuses on the animal the bat and effectively conveys through the latter an important message to the reader. One could interpret this poem in various ways; however a prominent theme would be that every

The Northern fowl mite (Ornithonyssus sylviarum) is the most common external parasite found on poultry. As the Northern fowl mite feeds on blood if poultry have heavy infestations it can cause anemia. The mite's development from egg to egg-laying adult takes about one week under optimum conditions (cool months are more favorable than warm months). While adult mites do not lay a large number of eggs, populations can increase rapidly on a susceptible bird and may exceed 20,000 mites in only a few weeks. Clinical signs of infestation include decreased egg production, decreased growth rate, and decreased feed consumption. Furthermore, Northern fowl mites can bite humans which will lead to itching and irritation of the skin.

When it comes to getting cage supplies there are many wonderful things that can give your Sugar Glider and you for years of entertainment and pleasure. There are many ways to design your Sugar Gliders Cage. One of the economical ways would be to purchase a Sugar Glider cage set instead of purchasing each piece individually. You may find that the various items you purchase individually do not match and struggle with the décor of your cage and home.

March 3, 2012 (Bloomberg) — The biggest six‐month increase in U.S. worker pay in almost five years should prompt an increase in consumer spending, the
