Nest

members of the Wingfield’s family is given a bird trait metaphorically. Their last name has deep meaning that they are free and can soar through the air; the play shows that Wingfield is the family symbol and that they can be free and walked out of the nest. Some of the family member traits don’t depict their names, but each are described by birds that fits their character the most. Amanda is a mother that wants the best for her children even though she pushes her kids around a lot. Her kids,…

a negative impact on the flora and fauna. The Hooded Plovers are highly endangered. There are less then 800 Hooded Plover in South Australia, and only 7,000 in Australia. The main reason that the Hooded Plovers are under threat is because the birds nest in the sand and are very vulnerable due to vehicles, dogs and people. “Because beach-nesting birds have such poor breeding success, their numbers are declining and it won’t be long before they become extinct. They…

summer homes to build a nest. There are many examples of Jane trying to find herself a home; she draws nests both at Lowood and at the Reed house, as if trying to picture herself at home in those environments. But by the end of the book, she describes herself as a skylark “flying home” (487). She finally finds the home she is looking for in Mr. Rochester and feels as if she belongs. Like a bird, Jane has returned to her nest to start a family. Another connection to the nest theme is Jane’s last…

They seem to be building their nest in the wood of the tree. Some parts of the tree were actually missing indicating that the termites have been feeding on it. The carton nest material that is made of termite excrements, chewed wood, and soil can be seen on the woods. This creature seemed to try to hide once the nest was discovered at that time. For mating activity of C. formosanus, after a brief flight, the alates will shed…

found in solitude, sunbathing in the heat of the day by a lake, however, during mating, they generally will nest in pairs to ensure safety of the nest. Male Anhinga help build the heavy portion (sticks and branches) of the nest that sits intertwined among the big branches overlooking a freshwater reservoir. The female adds her softness touch by adding leaves and twigs on top to cushion the nest. A female will lay 4 to 6 eggs and both she and the male will take turns incubating the eggs. It takes…

bringing them here created a disaster with no intention to do so. Starlings can transmit diseases from one livestock facility to another. They are considered very aggressive animals, tend to bully other bird species like kicking them out of their nests and harshly trying to hurt them with their strong peaks. European Strangling is also omnivorous, they eat nearly anything from seeds and insects to even baby birds. The decline of native bird species has increased when the European strangling came…

The primitively social behavior of Euglossa cordata (Hymenoptera, Apidae, Euglossini): a view from the perspective of kin selection theory and models of reproductive skew. The evolution of social behavior is perhaps one of the most controversial topics of biology, since the emergence of such behavior implies the evolution of altruistic traits that reduce the chance of reproduction (fitness) of individuals, through Natural Selection ( Freeman & Herron, 2009). Currently, there are models that link…

to collect materials for nesting sites. These include materials such as sticks, grasses, and leaves to be placed in hollow trees or rock crevices. The female may continue to build the nest after the young are born but this behavior varies from animal to animal. It was found that females in captivity would adopt nest boxes placed on the ground, hollow, logs, and other artificial dens to be used as their nesting sites (Roberts & Gittleman 1984).…

In Dr Deborah Gordon tech talk, “How Ant Colonies Get Things Done” she presents her findings from studying a collection of ant colonies in New Mexico for the past 25 years. More specifically, she focus on the Red Carpenter ant species. While colonies of ants may look at first glance like simply a bunch of ants running around aimlessly, a closer and more careful look shows substantial social organization. A colony can solve problems unthinkable for individual ants, such as finding the shortest…

phoenix was said to have resembled an eagle with purple, red and gold feathers, and a scarlet and gold tail. Ovid wrote in his Metamorphoses that the bird lived for 500 years. When it reached the end of its life span, the phoenix would build itself a nest at the top of a palm tree, using…
