The Mird: Mus Violiceps

Unlike many other rodents the flying squirrel does not hibernate. Instead they group together during the winter and cold month’s to maintain warmth. Northern flying squirrels usually communicate with a soft low chirp but also cluck just like other squirrels when distressed. These squirrels also use scent and touch to communicate with one another; utilizing their excellent senses of hearing, smell, vision, and touch to correspond with the signals they emanate. “A major food source for the squirrels are mycorrhizal fungi (truffles) of many different species, though they also eat lichens, mushrooms, all mast-crop nuts, tree sap, insects, carrion, bird eggs and nestlings, buds and flowers. The squirrels are special in that they can find truffles by olfaction, which is the use of smell. They also seem to use clues such as the presence of wood debris, indicating a decaying log, and spatial memory of locations where truffles were found in the past. The northern flying squirrel is also known to stash food for when food supplies are lower such as in the winter. These caches can be in cavities in trees, as well as in the squirrels' nest, or even within the ground. Lichens and seeds are the commonly stored items” (9). Yet in this relationship the most important functions of this squirrel are to provide food for the owls, and in addition, to greatly

While browsing through Moalem’s tumblr blog, I didn’t find many posts that relate to his essay, “Changing Our Genes: How Trauma, Bullying, and Royal Jelly Alter Our Genetic Destiny”. However his last post, from three years ago, does relate to gene changes. His last post on his tumblr blog was a video on his upcoming book called Inheritance. The video talked about the exact same things that he wrote in his essay stated above. For example, it talked about how our experiences can cause a lasting imprint on our genes from the food we eat or the trauma we experience such as bullying. In Moalem’s essay, he also discussed how food and our experiences can change our genes through examples of bees and a research on the effects of bullying on twins.

Child born to a free parent and one slave parent, the status of the offspring will be based on the status of the mother not the father. This could impact the growth of the enslaved population and making slave children profitable for slave masters. The law for Maryland, 1664 stated if a freed woman is to married a slave man she will be treated like her slave husband. In Virginia, 1667 states that Christianity does not release a slave from bondage so Christians could own other Christians. They feared that the slaves will runaway this is the reason why Virginia closed the pathway to freedom in 1660’s and lastly in Viginia , 1663 it stated that the slaves are not allow to leave anywhere without the permission of their masters and if wonder off

The salt marsh harvest mouse is listed as an endangered species in 1970s. Its phylogeny is of the Kingdom Animalia, the Phylum Chordata, the Class Mammalia, the Order Rodentia, the Family Cricetidae, the Genus Reithrodontomys, and the Species raviventris. The closest living relative of the salt marsh harvest mouse, according to genetic mapping, is the plains harvest mouse, R. montanus, a western interior species that are found in Mexico and central US.

Smallpox is a highly contagious virus that has no known cure. Variola, is the name of the virus that caused one of the largest epidemics known to man. Smallpox killed nearly 500 million people in the 20th Century alone. Before Smallpox was eradicated it killed nearly 60% of all infected people. Smallpox has been coexisting with humans for thousands of years and has a very long history.

The cottontail rabbit, or Sylvilagus floridanus, is one of the most common mammals in North America. Largely known for terrorizing gardens and melting children’s hearts, this animal is considered a pest among some and a harmless critter among others. The cottontail is known for its tall ears, powerful hind legs, and of course, its trademark cotton white tail. Its fur will come in all shades of gray and brown, and it can grow to be up to three and a half pounds. I am proposing a twenty-year study of the cottontail rabbit to learn how different impacts on the rabbits’ world will affect their natural selection process.

Their environments are rainforest, woodlands and grassland. They spend the majority of their time on trees and eating on trees. They do not travel much and just scattered over their area. They are known to be omnivores and their diet consists of fruits, vegetables, seeds, nuts, leaves, blossoms, insects and occasionally other animals. They are very social and communicate by calls, touch, body language, gestures, and facial expressions.

Misty copeland was born on september ,10 ,1982 in Kansas city Missouri. Misty was the 4th child out of 6 children.copeland’s Mother Delacerna,was married multiple times and have many boyfriends. The family of 7 moved plenty of times under trouble conditions.The family finally settled down in San Pedro,California.Delacerna 4th husband was very violent. He physically and emotionally abused his wife,and stepchildren,using racial words and slurs.After Delacerna left the 4th husband, Delacerna and her 6 children moved into a motel.Copeland joined the boys and girls club ballet team.When Misty was only 13 she moved in with Bradly(her dance teacher),to be closer to the dance studio.Later on when misty was only 15 years old, Delacerna said that it

The Pharomachrus mocinno has evolved many behavioural and physical traits as a result of adaptation to the current environment and lifestyle it leads, however this proposal will focus on the unusual plume tail length of the male P. mocinno. This particular species habitat requires nests as high as 22 meters in rotting trees (Seigfried et al. 2010). Therefore, the function of the feathers would typically be assumed to enhance flight, as that would make sense as a useful function in this scenario due to the high elevation. Surprisingly, however, the long length of the plume tail actually decreases the speed of the male bird due to the drag force of air (Norberg 1995) and requires it to drop backward off the branches before being able to fly forward normally (LaBastille et al. 1972). With such issues with the long plume tails, would sexual selection really be in this traits’ favour? In a study done on the widowbird such was the case; males with longer plumes were mated the most (Andersson 1982). However, the widowbird is completely black (including its tail), while in the case of Pharomachrus mocinno it is a very colourful bird. Previous studies also have shown, that the bright reflective colours on the male’s bodies help in attracting females (LaBastille et al. 1972).

The sparrow had a total of one species with a relative abundance of 0.0526. The earthworm had a total of six species with a relative abundance of 0.3158. The red-headed woodpecker had a total of one species with a relative abundance of 0.0526. The bigger brown spider had a total of one species with a relative abundance of 0.0526 (see Figure 1). The total number of species in the wooded area was nineteen with the species evenness of 0.7823. It also had a Shannon diversity index of 1.6266 and species richness of eight (see Table 1). The twelve different species at the water’s edge site are turtle, buzzard, deer, frog, beaver, tiny brown spider, small black bird, small yellow and brown stripes spider, dark with brown stripes spider, water spider, tibellus spider, and dog. The turtle had a total of five species with a relative abundance of 0.1515. The buzzard had a total of three species with a relative abundance of 0.0909. The deer had a total of one species with a relative abundance of 0.0303. The frog had a total of one species with a relative abundance of 0.0303. The beaver had a total of two species with a relative abundance of 0.0606. The tiny brown spider had a total of one species with a relative

The Mep-Moopans species mainly live in burrows, due to there only being 2 hours darkness they adapted Their burrow usually contain four main chambers and a bathroom. These creatures care very advanced, creating bedrooms and bathrooms in their burrows.

This rodent is much different that others because it can build structures up to 3 feet high. The

A memorable event that happened to me was giving an SVN treatment to my patient. This event stood out to me because it was the first time I gave a SVN treatment. I was to give a SVN treatment to a patient who is paraplegic from the waist down. Ashley was my preceptor and she allowed me to work independently. She briefly walked me over what I needed to do and then I took it from there.

Hi there! Here with Vidia from Tinkerbell and just like in the movie, Vidia is sly, grouchy, vindictive, and at times a narcissistic. Yea, she has a few good traits but rarely let's them be seen. She's currently twenty-four and has 'pushed' her way to Editor of Vogue. Vidia is big on fashion, she hopes to be like Miranda Priestly from The Devil Wears Prada one day.

Hummingbirds live only in the Americas and three species occur in Florida. The ruby-throated hummingbird is by far the most common hummer in our state. This feathered jewel is about 3 inches long and weighs as little as a penny (¼ ounce). Its name describes the most brilliant part of the mature male’s plumage. The throat feathers contain air bubbles that give off an iridescent red tone in full light. Their backs are metallic green, and they have green and black tail feathers. As a Neotropical migrant, the ruby-throat’s range extends from Canada to central Florida, with most wintering in Mexico and South America. They are arriving this month in northeast Florida.
