Invasion Biology: GREAT THREAT POSED BY EUROPEAN STARLING IN NATIVE SPECIES
http://bcb722.blogspot.com/2007/01/great-threat-posed-by-european.html
Wednesday, January 24, 2007. GREAT THREAT POSED BY EUROPEAN STARLING IN NATIVE SPECIES. Is a native species in Eurasia and North America. It has been introduced intentionally to countries like Australia, New Zealand and South Africa for aesthetic reasons and also for the control of insects, but it is now ironically considered as a pest itself. It has been recently introduced in South America where it is posing a serious threat to the continent because it is spreading very fast [ 1. As it damage crops, be...

Sunday, April 30, 2006. LORDS OF THE AIR. One of the earliest birds was a toothy, long-tailed creature the size of a crow, with feathers evolved from scales . (Reader’s Digest Editors. 1974, p.250) This was Archaeopteryx, first discovered in a limestone quarry near Solnhofen, Germany in 1861. Since then birds have adapted greatly, perfecting their anatomy for flying and their physiology for providing the energy to fly. 1 Reader’s Digest Editors. 1974. BCB Hons NISL student.

Saturday, April 29, 2006. PARENTAL CARING IN FROGS. I always thought that frogs and toads lay their eggs in water, where they spawn as tadpoles and then metamorphose into frogs (or toads). This group of amphibians have however developed many different kinds of reproductive strategies, all following the egg-tadpole-frog route, but not all opting for the safety in numbers strategy. A Caribbean frog, the whistling frog, lays fairly large eggs that are hidden in moist areas beneath organic material. Here...
