The cane toad, also known as the giant toad or marine toad, is n amphibian that is about 15 centimeters long and weighs about three pounds. Cane toads are a yellowish-brown color with dry, warty skin and a spotted belly. * Originally introduced to Australia by Hawaii, the cane toad is now native to South and Central America, Mexico, and extreme southern Texas. This toad was introduced to Australia from Hawii in June of 1935 by the Bureau of Sugar Experiment Stations to help control the cane…

control of the cane toad however laboratory testing has proven that the virus is lethal to native frogs as well (Department of Environment and Primary Industries, 2014). It is therefore a recommendation that mechanisms, such as viable viruses or a sex pheromone that are not lethal to other organisms, are investigated in the aim of disrupting the development of the tadpole right from its sexual maturity.. Testing has also been done on small billabongs in which pathogen controlling agents have…

People are unaware of what is being presented to them through the media unless they analyze the significance behind the script. Further deconstructing the media’s script such as television, the most pervasive form of media, will surely summon the point that media is fundamental in creating the social norms. In addition, gender roles are being surfaced through many television shows, and stereotypes are distorted excessively among these shows. Two and a Half Men encompasses and enforces both…

Novels can do many things to the reader, they can also make them feel countless different ways. Some books make one aware of a problem they did not know about before.

At the same time it can ignite a passion in the reader that they did not know existed. Novels like Zoo, this is a book that can do all of those…

After walking for miles, sweat trickled down my face as I sat on a damp log. I was unconvinced that an enormous feat could happen just underneath me, in silence. My eyes focused on the small bodied ants as if they were performers on stage. Methodically, the acrobatic ants clustered together and then sprang forward, grabbing each other in order to make an ant bridge. When I pose questions as to how something so peculiar could happen, I come to the realization that far greater powers are at play.…

The Behavior of Bees Behavior Patterns in Bees Honey bees are reasonably smart enough to learn such things as operant conditioning and color discrimination; the bees are also sensitive to taste, pheromones and UV. Bees can also store cognitive maps of their surroundings, location of food and knowing the times to look for food. A study published in 1983 in Science new journal showed that bees communicated much clearly with other bees in the same location. Foraging bees usually communicate with…

Then, there is the fact that they can produce a chemical, a pheromone, which has several different uses, such as, letting others acknowledge their presence, which includes competitors and mates, and indicates if the environment is worthwhile, a suitable habitat. In this experiment, they are all the same species as…

Parkinson’s. The physical deterioration can be seen as the males attempt two important aspects of courtship, tapping and wing vibration (Greenspan). Males tap females with their legs as a way to identify them (Greenspan). The pheromone cis-7-11-heptacosadiene, a pheromone highly produced by females, is the indicator which determines if the male’s potential mate is the correct gender (Greenspan). Furthermore, males vibrate their wings to display a “love song” in order to capture the attention of…

To bee or not to bee, how the buzz are scientist going to make an artificial bee? Although honey bees can really sting, they are also natures sweetest insect. Honey bees provide with a delicious golden nectar we call honey, but most importantly they pollinate all of our crops. So how are we going to create an artificial bee without knowing their jobs. Bee’s all have different jobs from the queen to to the worker bee. So how are these jobs done in the first place? Bees have a major role in our…
