study pairs that are all within 2-3 years of breeding experience because in a previous study, the older and more experienced male birds (5+ years) had higher levels of prolactin initially whereas the females’ levels were uneffected by age (Riechert, Chastel, & Becker, 2012; Figure 2). To fully test prolactin’s effect and to be releastic on the survival age of the average bird, we chose a younger participant. The 10 control groups and two sets of 10 experimental groups will each be given their…

The theme I will be following is identity. We all come from somewhere; we all have backgrounds and pasts; we all have an identity that’s more than just a name. September 30th of 1999, I entered this world. I was given the name Sherri, and I was full of potential. My personality could be shaped by anything, bits and pieces of who I am today were things I picked up in my past. I could tell you my life story, but I couldn’t exactly pick out how I came to be this way. To tell you about parts of my…

Fame can be a double edged sword as the author of The Painted Bird, Jerzy Kosinski, learned. After moving to America after World War Two he used embellished and falsified stories of his time as a child on the Eastern Front to gain intrigue among those surrounding him. When the book The Painted Bird was published, this use of his story stirred controversy over the legitimacy and factualness of the story. The story did not come from nowhere and proved to be a combination of his own exaggerated…

Background The preserve has existed longer than Florida Atlantic University, as the years went by it began to decline in size. Many animals have found the preserve as their home including the gopher tortoise. Gopher tortoise are a type of ectotherm animal that can live up to sixty days. They feed on vegetation and build burrows as their homes. The burrows they build can be used by about three hundred different animals as protection. Over the time, Gopher tortoise has evolved as a very threaten…

It’s being a year to stay in India’s one of the most dynamic landscape that keep changes throughout the year, but it is still amusing me daily. Vast silent plains with miles of visibility that is only broken sometimes by clouds of dust, “Merage” shining on horizon gives a feel of water but no water available nowhere. Mosaic of Creaks on the plains shows the scarcity of moisture even in soil. Rising temperature in summer makes this habitat even harsh for life to survive. This is the Grasslands…

prefer to pay $60-$90 to park in a general area and then take the bus. Those who live on campus have this problem too but they do not have to worry about how early they have to get up just to have time to drive to class. When they say that the early bird gets the worm, they are not lying. Those who get the best parking spot are those who have early classes. I also interviewed my friend Braeden Hess, who commutes the University of Arkansas every day, I asked him how he manages to get a good…

For the scarier scenes, the movie ended to be at night and provide dark shots of lighting. For the majority of the film, Bird incorporated plenty of saturated color and high key lighting. Because of this, it also provided a more upbeat feeling for the film as a whole when the scenes included that color. But, Bird made that pattern of when things would get serious, as the final pivotal scenes were in a setting where the sky was cloudy, thus using less saturated colors…

up their rowboat right before a sunrise. At the very beginning of the movement is a calm, beautiful section, which is meant to depict how peaceful, calming, and relaxing it is to float on water while basking in the sounds of the early morning: with birds, insects, and stillness. After floating for a couple minutes, the couple begins rowing the boat forward, and in the piece, you can hear the water rhythmically lapping against the side of the boat. This is symbolized by that at the second beat of…

occurred. The first is that as low tide gets closer, the birds become further away and thus harder to see. This variable may have been influenced by the amount of visibility and thus a more powerful spotting scope is recommended for future studies. The second hypothesis is that as the birds migrated, there were less present and therefore it took a quicker amount of time to count the amount of birds and thus there might be a relation between the birds migrating and quicker sampling times which…

Common decency didn’t seem to exist east of the White Knife river. Was it something in the soil that prompted the Boltons and their kin to treat others with such disdain? As of yet, all Alysanne had done was eat and be married in her husband’s company. It baffled her that he could not even manage to muster the energy to put on even a ruse of chivalry. She had half a mind to stay seated right where she was and wait for him to announce himself to her properly, but this was not her home… not yet.…
