4.0Chapter four Discussion: 4.1 Point Counts By restraining the recording of species to a 10- 50m fixed radius when in dense forest at kamwala 1 forest, it allows the subtraction the certain bias, such as, the highly vocal forest species; White bellied Go Away bird and Tropical Bulbul, as well as those species which ‘generally’ occur above the canopy (for example; forest raptors). The most widespread species to occur across all the count areas (map 1) were Common Bulbul, Orange ground thrush and JoyfulGreenbul as well Red bellied paradise flycatcher, but orange ground thrush havens highly distributed in kamwala forest reserve. Although this is ecologically indicative of Rüppell's Robin-Chat, a forest edge species, it is unusual for Dusky Flycatcher which is usually found throughout forest stratum where it occurs 4 .2Birds abundance and diversity…

The Red-tailed Black cockatoo also called the Calyptorhynchus banksii are under conservation. There are five sub-species of Red-tailed Black-cockatoo (Red-tailed Black cockatoo, 2014-16) and the two southern subspecies are near threatened. These cockatoos are under the Australian Government Act of Endangered (Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999), the (Flora & Fauna Guarantee Act 1988) in Victoria and the Endangered (National Parks and Wildlife Act 1972) in South Australia.…
he Greater Prairie Chicken is a stocky chestnut, firmly banished grouse with paler shaded stripes, most effectively perceived by the male's particular and strikingly great appearance. Amongst the male's presentation, an unmistakable, stretched pinnae (adjusted neck quills) get to be raised over the head, and a substantial yellow-orange air sacs in the neck or greater the eye get to be swelled. Both genders have these noticeable neck quills yet they are longer on the males. The genders can also be recognized by the short, square tail being dull chestnut in males and a banned cocoa and tan in females.…
Since the days of Rome, civilizations underwent periods of revitalization, but none were as extensive in comparison until the early 1000's when Europe experienced extreme changes of commercialized revolution. New agricultural practices were introduced such as systematic crop rotation, the use of livestock, windmills, and iron tools. Once agriculture efficiencies reached a peak, farmers raised crop yields and the expansion of markets began to flourish, causing cerealization to fuel Europe's population growth. This period of relative prosperity urbanized Europe while rapid development allowed the nations of Europe to engage in intellectual thought, theological discourse, and new economic practices.…
The fur trade arose in the 1600s, which was one of the methods to make profits in the early colonial period because the colonists could not find precious metals. Then they replaced the precious metals by fur in North American. Beaver was the core in the whole fur trade. When European first time arrived North American, they found that America had plenty resources of fur. The fur trade brought huge profits to Europe.…
Various explanations abound from Moreau’s initial discovery onward as to what exactly accounts for the variation, but none so far have held water with the scientific community for very long. In this most recent study, evolutionary ecologist Thomas Martin documented life history characteristics of both tropical and temperate songbirds, focusing on closely related species across the latitudinal divide. His team determined that in comparison to the temperate birds, the tropical songbirds grow longer wings, they grow them more quickly, and they appropriate more resources per egg to their nesting offspring. Tropical songbirds also historically experience greater threats of nest predation than do temperate…
Although whaling has occurred all over the world since the Stone Age, it didn’t become a prominent business in America until the early 18th-century. English settlers on the islands of Massachusetts first practiced shore whaling, in which hired watchmen would sight a whale from shore, row out on small boats, and harpoon it. The fishermen sell the whale’s oil, ambergris, and spermaceti for use in candles, perfume, and corsets. The success of the whale market prompted wealthy Quakers to invest in the whaling business, purchasing whaling ships outfitted with special equipment and experienced crews. Many Massachusetts ship embarked on highly profitable voyages and, aided by inventions like the tryworks and toggling whaling harpoon, America quickly…
The fur trade was a significant point in history regarding the relationship between the Aboriginal Peoples and the Europeans. It was a key factor in shaping North America into the land it now is. The trade brought European goods, permanent trading posts, European communities and settlers across the waters over to North American. The relationships between the English, French and the Natives developed, as did conflict and war. War among the parties occurred when those involved wanted to control the fur trade.…
Owls, hawks, and eagles are types of raptors, animals which have hooked beaks and sharp claws, and are therefore adapted for seizing prey animals. Hawks and eagles differ from owls in that they eat their prey animals by tearing them into small pieces, picking out the flesh and avoiding most of the bone material which they might eat. The relatively small amount of indigestible bone and fur that remain will be compacted by their stomach muscles into a pellet similar to the owl’s. Do you think an eagle pellet would be as useful for dissecting as an owl’s? Why or why not?…
Abstract Anhinga anhinga is a medium sized bird which most do not know about. The purpose of the paper is to give readers an in depth idea of this bird. Most readers living in the southern parts of the United States have seen one in the wild but did not have a clue about this mischievous animal. The bird can go from sun bathing in order to dry off its feathers to diving in order to get some food in seconds.…
“The Plastic Pink Flamingo” A new trend for the 1950’s was idolizing pink flamingos. The claims of boldness consisted of rich families vacationing in Florida and the distinct color of the flamingo. American’s were in desperate search of something new, but the author questions the reasons behind the pink flamingo’s popularity when he/she inquires about why the birds were called pink flamingos, why American’s were intrigued by the flashy color, and why flamingos were such a popular trend. Why were the birds called pink flamingos? Flamingo’s are not camillians, they can not change different colors, they will always be pink.…
Mother used to tell me stories, stories about the feathered brutes — how they were, how they do what they did — how they once lavishly soared upon the azure without a hitch, how their chirps and cries filled the air with the subtle temperament of composure and tranquillity. Her vivid anecdotes have piqued the curiosity of my questioning mind, as I've not once seen a…

Ever wonder how one of the tiniest continents in the world contained people who almost ruled all of Earth’s people, controlled many of the world’s valuable resources, and more? Well, for starters, it is certainly possible, since Europe, containing many great countries, is leading the world even today with top notch economies and companies. This was during the 15th century. It is also necessary to look at how many inventions and studies that were done in this region, because of both exploration, and “enlightenment”. This is important to mention because of the many factors that make Europe how it is today.…
