Both genders have these noticeable neck quills yet they are longer on the males. The genders can also…

Tree cavity is an important breeding- and nesting-site for mammals and birds. Thus, these animals often separate the use of the cavity, partially or completely. For example, the small Japanese field mouse Apodemus argenteus nests in low height cavity to avoid competition with Siberian flying squirrel Pteromys volans (Suzuki and Yanagawa 2012, Suzuki et al. 2014). In addition, Slagsvold (1978) showed importance of different breeding season between the pied flycatcher Ficedula hypoleuco and great…

Cornell Ph.D. an assistant professor at Arizona State University in Tempe. Conducted studies of barns wallows finding that "Factors like ultra violet radiation from the sun, soiling and even feather degrading bacteria are known to affect the color of bird feathers once they are grown, and perhaps the best males are those who spend more time preening and protecting their plumage." These males with darker…

and the relationships each character has. For the first image, I had a hard time deciding what was happening in this picture.

In the first image you can see a small bird flying behind Herakles,…

Have you ever heard about the little penguin or the African penguin? Lauren Tarshis and Kristin Lewis have both written amazings stories about Penguins that have been stuck in an oil spill that is really harmful to animals.

Kristin Lewis wrote “The Seabird Chronicle” which is about saving the penguins that were in the oil spill and then making sure that…

This essay is going to be about two articles called “The Amazing Penguin Rescue” (Lauren Tarshis) and “Saving Penguins, One Sweater At A Time” (Kristin Lewis). Did you know that little penguins are a species of penguin, so named because they can range anywhere from 10 to 12 inches tall (Kristin Lewis). When oil gets on penguins their feathers clump up, when this happens it exposes their skin and allows all the cold water and poisonous oil to get to their skin and make them cold (Lauren Tarshis…

The Dragon Amulet “This is unfair, unjust!” Michelle went on like this every day, although her rant was particularly long today. Michelle’s sister, Opal stared out the window as the fall leaves drifted across the small city. “Shh,” said Opal, “I’m reading about the Dragon Amulet. It’s a magical amulet.

Newts are semi-aquatic amphibians with tails (Brockes 2005) that are of the family Salamandridea. All newts are salamanders, but not all salamanders are newts. I will be observing specifically California Newts (Taricha torosa) and Rough-Skinned Newts (Taricha granulosa), which are both commonly found in the Northern California Area. Each can also be found in the UC Botanical Garden’s Japanese Pool, which is where I will be observing them. The two species are very close genetically and are able…
