    Winthrop Lake Hypothesis

    The data collected for the wind speed had significant difference. We can conclude that based off the data for the temperature and wind, the amount of birds that were located within a specific area was effected. After, examining the data for the species of birds found, the results have proven that the null hypotheses has been rejected based off the species representation. The initial hypothesis was that there would be more birds located in the Winthrop lake area, than in the golf course area. This hypothesis was formed based of prior knowledge to both locations: temperature, wind speed, and other factors.…

    Explain Why Figure C Shows The Best Representation Of The Living Sparrows

    1a. Figure C 1b. The reason Figure C is the best histogram for birds that survived is because Bumpus had suggested that birds that were unusually large or small were unable to survive the winter due to a natural selection he called, stabilizing selection. According to Bumpus, stabilizing selection "winnows out of the extremes and favors those in the middle..", supporting that the there is a relationship between the size of the birds' traits and their survival. Figure C shows the best representation of the living sparrows because of the high frequency of the 'average' trait.…

    Southwest Louisiana Research Paper

    For over half of the 322 migratory bird species that breed in North America and winter in the tropics, the Gulf of Mexico (GOM) is a prominent ecological barrier that migrants negotiate by migrating over or around twice each year (). Weather surveillance radar analysis along the northern coast of the GOM reveals that migrant densities are relatively highest at longitudes in western Louisiana, consistent with field observations that showed consistent high-density stopover use of coastal forests in western Louisiana by migrating landbirds () . Unfortunately, due to development and habitat alteration much of the chenier plain has been altered and less than 5% of natural chenier forests remain. Therefore, it is critical to determine the importance of these disappearing habitats to wildlife populations to make appropriate conservation and management…

    Joyas Volodores Book Summary

    Joyas Volardores The most important organ in the body, the driving force behind us all, the heart. In Joyas Volardores, Brian Doyle uses imagery and facts to compare and contrast the hearts of hummingbirds, whales, and humans, physically and emotionally. The initial reading gives the reader a surface view of comparing the hearts of these animals, it is not until I really analyzed the last paragraph that I saw the deeper meaning Doyle was trying to exemplify. Through size comparisons he shows that no matter the pursuit of life, immaculate or miniscule, that life is precious and should not be taken for granted.…

    How Did The Red Fox Use Earth Magnetic Field

    By using the earth magnetic field some animals can track, and navigate themselves through the skies , or forest or seas and so on and so forth. But other animals such the Red fox use it for different purposes. The Red fox uses the earth magnetic field to locate prey, as well as to measure distance instead for direction and navigation like most animals.…

    Canada Geese Formation

    John Badgerow, in his article An analysis of function in the formation flight of Canada geese, experimentally validates two proposed ideas explaining collective movement among geese. The first hypothesis, energy conservation in flight, originates from aerodynamic formations of other species and states that group flight is more efficient than solitary flight in terms of expended energy. The second proposition, orientation communication between individuals, predicts that formations arise from the most beneficial positioning of individuals to maintain visual contact with others. The potential for these ideas to describe the synchrony of other species, especially since all organisms want to conserve energy and retain the ability to communicate…

    Comparison Of Frog And Songbird Mating Calls

    Contrast and Comparison between Frog and Songbird Mating Calls By the law of the nature, most creatures seek to survive and reproduce. In other words, they reproduce to survive or to keep their species on living. In this research paper, I would compare and contrast the advertisement calls for mating between frogs and songbirds and talk about how the production of mating calls is related to Tinbergen’s four questions. Both anurans and passerines have calls.…

    Controversy Between Birds: Article Analysis

    Eavesdropping between species is an extraordinarily broad topic because of the fact that there are so many species of animals that use this evolutionary adaptation in multiple different ways. In the article Vigilance against predators induced by eavesdropping on heterospecific alarm calls in a non-vocal lizard Oplurus cuvieri cuvieri (Reptilia: Iguania), is a study on how lizards respond and differentiate between predator calls and songs of birds. Here, we experimentally test whether O. c. cuvieri eavesdrops on heterospecific alarm calls. Specifically, we examine whether iguanas distinguish the mobbing alarm calls of the Madagascar paradise flycatchers that were emitted in response to nearby predators from their songs (Ito & Mori). The hypothesis…

    Interspecific Competition In Animals

    The acquisition of resources in animals is an important influence on the structure and actions of a species since individuals want to pass their genes onward to survive. However, interspecific competition affects the availability of these resources and therefore influences the methods by which a species obtains them. Surf Scoter ducks demonstrate a synchronous dive and surfacing pattern, as investigated by LE Schenkeveld and RC Ydenberg, as a tactic to overpower kleptoparasites – animals who rob food from animals of other species – like gulls. In order to determine the mechanism responsible for this collective movement, the scientists investigated the hypothesis that the flocks will dive more synchronously, and therefore surface at the same…

    Endangered Species In Texas

    SAN DIEGO >> U.S. researchers are launching studies on Mexico’s red-crowned parrot — a species that has been adapting so well to living in cities in California and Texas after escaping from the pet trade that the population may now rival that in its native country. The research comes amid debate over whether some of the birds flew across the border into Texas and should be listed under the Endangered Species Act. Parrots in U.S. urban areas are just starting to draw attention from scientists because of their intelligence, resourcefulness and ability to adapt. There is also a growing realization that the city dwellers may offer a population that could help save certain species from extinction.…

    What Are Emperor Penguins Monogamous?

    Although the reading passage was correct for the time it was written , new data presented in the lecture discredits all of it’s assumptions that emperor penguins are monogamous, they return to the one rookery for nesting and they are safe in modern world. As for the first approach, greater observations figured out that both monogamous and polygamous lifestyles are possible for penguins, but the second variant is met only in 15 percent of cases. Moreover, the only place for laying eggs was also a mistake because the recent research of Institute of Minnesota fixed six cases when animals had altered their rookery.…
