N. larvatus are unique from other primates because of their red, protruding nose (which may be up to 17.5 cm long in males) and pot belly. The name given as Orang Belanda came from the native that inhabit of Borneo to resemble the Dutch Colonialists (Tisdal & Nantha, 2007). The adult males of N. larvatus have a head and body length of 660-762 mm and weight between 16.0 and 22.5 kg (Nowak, 1999). Proboscis monkey are large reddish-brown monkeys with sexual dimorphism. The males and females are…

The African rue is a noxious weed that is invasive to the state of New Mexico. Native to North Africaand to the Mediterranean region, it is highly drought resistant and displays rapid and aggressivegrowth whenever soil moisture is available. Seeds and root fragments are transported by runningwater and can be carried in mud. African Rue seed-riddled mud is often transported by vehicles,railcars, earth-moving equipment and animal and human extremities –which easily spreads thespecies growth area.…

changes. This essay connects an understanding of the population and foraging ecology of Hydrurga leptonyx with their future existence in relation to the threat of climate change. Currently, leopard seals are stated as of least concern in the Red List category, however the daunting effects of climate change may shockingly expedite a shift of additional concern for these species (Hückstädt, 2015). Leopard seals have a…

As previously learned in class, the definition of evolution is the change in variant frequencies in a population over time. The four forces that evolution acts on are mutations, gene flow, genetic drift, and natural selection. From an evolutionary psychology perspective, the physical structure of the brain has changed over time, thus allowing humans to develop complex behavioral patterns. When comparing brains with primates, humans have a larger and heavier brain. When compared to a…

Most are very poisonous, but some are not. It’s safe to say that I am definitely not a mycologist, and am extremely under qualified to give any sort of advice to aspiring mushroom hunters; however I am authorized to say that Seward a prime fungus foraging area. Our average rainfall is about 75 inches a year, and a thick coniferous covering of Sitka spruce coupled with moderate temperatures makes for perfect fungus growing conditions. Usually mushroom foragers don’t give out their hunting spots…

the Western way of war best characterizing warfare in the age of Napoleon. Napoleon continued with the importance of a having a national army from the French Revolution and instilled discipline in his Soldiers to return to their regiments after foraging off the land. The national army construct held intact from the French Revolution enabled Napoleon to seize the iniative and focus his efforts towards the decisive battle. Napoleon’s armies displayed discipline and loyalty their country that…

You can learn a lot about someone by the way they tell a story. In Bruce Knauft’s The Gebusi, you can learn a lot about another culture through his eyes. In his book Bruce, presents to the reader stories of a people that will never be the same as they were when he wrote about them. The Gebusi are a cultural group within the Nomad River area of the East Strickland River Plain, Western Province of Papua New Guinea. They live near the northern edge of New Guinea's large south central lowland rain…

Molecular communication is a paradigm for Nanomachines to exchange information. Due to some of the biological properties, bacteria have been proposed as a carrier for molecular communication, such communication networks are known as bacterial Nanonetworks. The biological property of bacteria is ability to mobilize and carry the information encoded in deoxyribonucleic acid molecules. Bacteria have social characteristic, which provides bacteria to evolve in fluctuating environment using…

of the land that surrounded them to exercise their variety of strategies of foraging for food, and their life necessities. Over the next thousand years, agriculture has replaced foraging as the main subsistence practice, but some hunter-gatherers lived on in isolated areas of the world. Richard Lee and Megan Biesele conducted a study in the early 1960s to describe the important features of one of the last standing foraging groups, known as the Ju/’hoansi-!Kung residing in the Kalahari Desert…

resources available within the hive, reproduce offspring of the parasitic A. mellifera, and essentially move on. The end result is dramatically detrimental to the overall health of the hive, as the parasitic A. mellifera contribute little in the means of foraging, and maintenance, resulting in the overall destruction of the hive through the elimination of…
