Budgies take well to the domestic life and are very social animals. Many parents give a budgie…

Study Site To expand on the previous research of John L. Hoogland, we plan to study black-tailed prairie dogs’ long-term reproductive success. We expect long-term reproductive success will increase as the population of helpers increases. We hope to receive a $12 million grant from the National Science Foundation to complete this extensive research. We will study the black-tailed prairie dog population in an area of approximately 160 kilometers (km) within the Great Plains region of north-central…

Great North American Prairie covers 1.4 million square miles and is made up of the following U.S. states; Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Texas, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, Wyoming, Colorado and New Mexico. It is also made up of a few provinces in Canada including Alberta and Manitoba. Rainfall is more common in the East than it is in the West of the prairies. Rainfall levels can reach up to 21 inches and go down to 12 inches depending on where you are within the prairie. It's also driest…

Savannas are bumpy grasslands with distant shrubs and trees. They are normally in a warm climate year round, with only two seasons, very long and dry season and the wet season. Roughly the temperature stays above 70 degrees F all year. This is a generic description of a generic savanna, but the Oregon Oak Savanna in Oregon is no where near generic. The Oregon Oak Savanna is home to many plants and animals that are massively influential on the human race. One of the most important organisms in…

Overall Description Savannas are characterized by flat, grassy plains with few trees.

Zabana was used to describe vast, dry, and treeless fields, but definition has expanded over time to even include grasslands of Florida and plains with palm trees in Venezuela. Climate Savannas normally undergo wet summers and dry winters. During the dry season, most of the little…

Eavesdropping between species is an extraordinarily broad topic because of the fact that there are so many species of animals that use this evolutionary adaptation in multiple different ways. In the article Vigilance against predators induced by eavesdropping on heterospecific alarm calls in a non-vocal lizard Oplurus cuvieri cuvieri (Reptilia: Iguania), is a study on how lizards respond and differentiate between predator calls and songs of birds. Here, we experimentally test whether O. c.…

brown eyes are hidden behind a curtain of fur that droops down from the top of his head, similar to bangs. The fur on his face is groomed in such a way that it resembles a beard. This particular dog is energetic and playful by nature. In fact, when lacking a playmate, I have often observed this dog devise his own peculiar forms of entertainment. On occasion, he climbs…

Part I - The Community and School Culture My school of choice to do my observation is Lorenzo de Zavala Elementary Science Environmental Academy located in Grand Prairie south of Interstate 20. Zavala sets on a land adjusted to Jackson Middle School. The school is directly impacted by residential houses and an open field. In the back of Zavala there is a garden and a greenhouse. Next to the garden there is a gated play area that has a basketball court for the public and remains open daily…
