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…

The Bubonic Plague was a disease carried by rodents. It was caused by bacteria named Yersinia pestis that was found in the intestines of the fleas on the rodents. The bacteria blocked the intestines of the fleas causing the fleas to starve which made the fleas want to feed often. The fleas would try to clear the blockage by vomiting. When the fleas vomited up the bacteria when they were feeding on someone, that bacteria would get into the bite and that person would become infected with the…

James Hoover laughed. “ Finally, in 1932, I have created the first nuclear reactor!” James is like a monkey, he can never stay still. “Henry, you choose the perfect place for our lab. No one will find us in Madagascar! This place loves us!Because of this, you get to push The Button!” Henry had mixed feelings about this. He didn’t want to damage the uninvolved animals. Still, duty calls. Henry hesitantly hammered The Button . Consequently, the machine hummed and the two animals shifted…

The Formation of Australia Although Australia has the least surface area compared to other continents, it does have a long geological history. Australia is formed by many geological elements resulting in the present-day Australia. Continental drift is the movement of the Earth's continents shifting (Appearing to be 'drifting') on Earth's surface. There have been many supercontinents, throughout history, which had existed on Earth's surface for millions of years. Supercontinents are a cluster…

The primary causes for ocean acidification include carbon dioxide pollution, an effect caused by burning fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and gas. The carbon dioxide accumulates quickly, entering the ocean and increasing ocean acidity, so fast that the organisms cannot adapt quickly enough. It is most problematic in cold water regions and places where deep water wells up to the surface, as not only would co2 rates rise faster, it is also the location for many fisheries. Coral reefs are also at…

I am interested in joining Georgetown University for two main reasons. Firstly, Georgetown University offers me the freedom of choice and guidance in choosing my major. Back in Madagascar, students have little or no choice over their future, as all the learning is already packaged with a strict manual to follow. Teachers and school officials offer the material on a plate and provide no additional support unless externally paid for. As a result, despite having good grades, students often ended up…

perspective of how we view our culture or how other cultures may view ours. There are different practices and rituals that can seem odd and our norms dictate and affect our understanding of them. We can examine different cultures such as the one in Madagascar to truly relate how much our norms affect how we think and perceive others that are different from us. I was not necessarily surprised due to the hints that were given throughout the reading Body Ritual…

The bubonic plague Yersinia pestis In the mid 1300’s a strange sickness struck people were panicked. During this time period the water quality was not the greatest, it was polluted due to boats releasing to many fluids then making the drinking water unsanitary. This strange sickness was the bubonic plague people were getting tumor like lumps on their bodies then later creating red dots on the skin that later turn black. These black lumps become flat in doing so it is spreading across the body…

Coelacanths can grow up to 2 m in length. Their bodies are covered in blue scales, which turn brown after death, with a white speckling that is unique to each individual. Their seven fins have fleshy lobes and they move their two paired sets of fins (pectoral and pelvic) in a diagonally synchronous manner like a four-limbed terrestrial animal. Unlike all other vertebrates, coelacanths possess an intracranial joint and an associated basicranial muscle. The purpose of this structure is disputed,…

protecting France. He then draws attention to the naval ship and how there are flaw in the design only being able to hold two week of supply. However, all would not be lost if they have control of the following countries Saigon, Indochina, Tunisia and Madagascar because these places will provide a naval safe haven a provision for supply, shelter and port for defense. Not acting now could result in a costly mistake. Conclusion Ferry was an extreme imperial who aim was for colonial expansion.…
