Dog perfume, microwaveable pillows, and pet rocks; these seemingly pointless products all have generated millions from their inventors. These hard-to-believe success stories hold the same average acknowledgment as those who seek benefits from a dumpster. People may only hear of dumpster diving while surfing the internet or eavesdropping a coffee shop conversation. However the curiosity will die too quickly, reality kicks in, and most will refuse to seek any further information on such a shameful…

OBJECTIVES We aim to determine if draw down of an impoundment at Necedah NWR creates habitat that is more desirable to whooping cranes after hatching colts and if said habitat can also provide better shelter for young colts leading to higher probability of fledging. We will also determine what impacts, if any, this drawdown will have on other avian species such as sandhill cranes and secretive marsh birds which may act as an indicator species in relation to wetland ecosystem quality (Conway…

Angela Sun, a journalist from California, made a movie called, “Plastic Paradise: The Great Pacific Garbage Patch.” The movie is about plastic marine debris and how it affects wildlife. Sun heard from a friend about this giant island in the Pacific Ocean called the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. Most people believe that the garbage patch is a very large, solid patch of garbage sitting in the Pacific Ocean. They do not know that the patch…

Introduction Flowers and pollinators have co-evolved over thousands of years creating the physical characteristics that you see within flowers and pollinators throughout the world. Flower type, shape, color, odor, nectar and even structure in some way are related to pollinators and the need to attract pollinators for reproduction. A major gap of understanding floral evolution starts with the role of the pollinators (Parachnowitsch & Kessler, 2010). Characteristics of flowers can be used for the…

Humans have relatively large brains, approximately three times larger than those of their closest primate relatives, and possess cognitive skills not…

Campfire Cookbook Review Camping is a wonderful past time. Fresh air, nature, sunshine, and nights around the fire are something everyone should try to experience. Whatever the images are that leap to mind when camping is mentioned, the one question we all ask is: “What are we going to eat?” While you can get by with GORP, trail mix, and “hot dog on a stick”; I say, “WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?” If it is all you have, absolutely, eat it. Then find civilization, because you aren't going to last…

At its core, altruism is when an individual behaves in a manner that benefits others at a cost to him or herself. Some believe that we as a species are inherently selfish creatures and are therefore incapable of true altruism. They say that any altruistic behavior is done in expectation of reciprocation or, at the very least, a nontangible benefit of self-satisfaction. In many, perhaps even most, cases this may be true. But this expectation of benefit from an act of altruism doesn’t hold true in…
