Suppressed science: How Politics Drowned Out Science for Ten Endangered Species
Suppressed science: How Politics Drowned Out Science for Ten Endangered Speciesendangeredspeciescoalition
The document summarizes how politics has drowned out science in efforts to protect 10 endangered species. It describes how the Trump administration has weakened protections for Pacific leatherback sea turtles, Mexican gray wolves, and greater sage-grouse. It also discusses how political interference has prevented the designation of critical habitat for species like the San Jacinto Valley crownscale and stalled recovery efforts for others such as the pallid sturgeon, ocelot, dunes sagebrush lizard, and Hermes copper butterfly. The North Atlantic right whale and North American wolverine are also facing increased threats due to political opposition to climate science and offshore drilling/energy development plans.Hannah
We are losing over 80,000 acres of tropical rainforest daily, along with 135 plant and animal species daily, totaling over 50,000 species lost annually. Rainforests contain over half of the world's species and are an important source of potential pharmaceuticals, but less than 1% of trees and plants have been tested. Deforestation rates have increased 8.5% this decade compared to the 1990s, with primary rainforest loss increasing 25%, mostly due to commercial interests. While protected land has increased, scientists believe extinction will threaten a smaller proportion of species than predicted if large forest areas remain intact by 2030.
Arizona
Arizona is known as the Grand Canyon State. It has a diverse landscape that includes the Grand Canyon, the Painted Desert, and Petrified Forest National Park. Arizona has a dry climate with little rainfall, but abundant sunshine. The state's economy relies on manufacturing, mining, and tourism. Arizona's natural resources include copper, cattle, cotton and its year-round sunshine. Major cities include Phoenix, which is also the capital, and tourism draws over 37 million visitors annually to attractions like the Grand Canyon.

Aiyana tells her grandchildren the Lenmana creation story, beginning with Mother Nature bringing life to a barren land with her daughter Onatah. Onatah helps the land flourish but desires companionship, so Mother Nature creates the male Kitchi. They have many children who are given control over the elements. However, Onatah's twin brother Otaktay notices that overpopulation could become a problem if nothing changes. He creates the concepts of life, death, and reincarnation to maintain balance on the land. The story explains how various important figures like Onatah and her daughters pass on their spirits. Aiyana's grandchildren discuss the story and ask questions about their own powers within the Len
Factors Associated With Exclusive Breastfeeding In
1) The study aimed to identify factors associated with exclusive breastfeeding (EB) in children under 4 months old in Botucatu, Brazil.
2) 38% of children were exclusively breastfed, while 33.4% consumed cow's milk, 29.2% tea, and 22.4% water.
3) The use of a pacifier and difficulty breastfeeding were associated with an absence of EB, while the population attributable risk percentage for pacifier use was estimated at 46.8%.
Html5 and its Role in E Learning
HTML5 is the new standard for HTML that supports rich multimedia content like video and audio with tags like <video> and <audio>. It also improves the semantic structure of documents. Currently, browsers like Firefox, Chrome, and Safari support HTML5 to varying degrees, while Internet Explorer 9 will provide support later in 2011. HTML5 can be used for rich websites, web apps, and many mobile apps on devices that support it like iPhone, iPad, and Android phones. While HTML5 has benefits for eLearning like mobile learning and interactive content, tools are still needed to easily create HTML5 content and many eLearning courses will continue to use Flash for now due to its current dominance and expertise with Flash developers.
Contraception During Breastfeeding
This document provides guidelines for contraceptive methods that can be used during breastfeeding. It begins with 3 summarizing sentences about the purpose and general principles. It then discusses the Lactational Amenorrhea Method (LAM) in detail over several sections: how it works based on 3 criteria; definitions for its use; efficacy shown in various studies to be 98% effective; considerations for counseling and use; and management issues. It concludes by discussing transitioning to other contraceptive methods after LAM is no longer applicable, ranked by their potential impact on breastfeeding success.
What Do the Asserts in a Unit Test Tell Us About Code Quality? (CSMR2013)
This document discusses a study analyzing the relationship between unit test code quality and production code quality. The study analyzed over 200 open source projects to determine if code tested with more than one assertion per test had higher complexity, size, and method calls than code tested with a single assertion. The results found no significant differences between the two groups. Having multiple asserted objects per test, rather than assertions, may be a better indicator of code quality. More research with additional industry projects is needed.

Abstract: Bicknell’s Thrush is among the Nearctic-Neotropical migrants of highest conservation priority in North America. Its rarity (estimated global population of < 50,000 individuals), restricted breeding and winter distributions, habitat specialization, and vulnerability to multiple rangewide threats are compounded by incomplete knowledge about its overall status. The species exhibits a complex mating system and a highly skewed breeding adult sex ratio. Sexual habitat segregation may occur in winter, and females appear to be limited at some point in the annual cycle. Recent population trend data show conflicting results, with sharply declining populations in Maritime Canada and stable or slightly increasing trends in the U.S. On the species’ Greater Antillean wintering grounds, where an estimated 90% of the global population occurs on Hispaniola, loss of forested habitats has been severe and is ongoing. The International Bicknell’s Thrush Conservation Group (IBTCG) formed in 2007 to develop and implement a scientifically-based conservation action plan for the species. We will present an overview of the conservation challenges facing Bicknell’s Thrush, highlight the IBTCG’s primary goals and recommendations, and assess the prospects for this at-risk species.

Freshwater mussels are an important part of river ecosystems but many species are endangered. Mussels play key roles like filtering water and providing habitat. They are very sensitive to pollutants like ammonia and were among the most sensitive species considered in setting the 2013 US EPA ammonia standard. This standard will better protect mussels and other aquatic life in Missouri waters, though it may apply broadly across the state given mussels' widespread historical distribution. Cooperation will be important to successfully implement the new protective standard.

Bringing Biodiverasity Back to Urban Landscapes
This talk, which I presented in 2017, covers fundamental issues related to loss of biodiversity in urban landscapes, and discusses ways that landscapes can be designed and managed to enhance biodiversity. In a world of increasing urbanization, it will be increasingly imperative to enhance the conservation value of urban landscapes.
2010 06 04 Smh Overview V4
The document summarizes information about the South March Highlands (SMH) ecological area near Ottawa, Canada. It notes that SMH contains old growth trees over 100 years old, 30 eco-types of vegetation across 10 habitats, and is over 1 billion years old. SMH also serves as an important headwater and natural connection to the Shirley's Bay wetlands. The area has very high biodiversity and is home to many rare, threatened, and endangered plant and animal species. However, the SMH is at risk of loss and fragmentation from ongoing development pressures.
How to design a beautiful garden that attracts birds
“Birds are good ecological indicators. If you have a diverse native bird population, it’s a sign that the ecosystem as a whole is healthy.” Convert your lawn to a beautiful, bird friendly garden. Biodiverse gardens provide the food niches, nesting sites, shelter, water, and safety that our native birds (and insects) need.
MistyAnne Marold gcc 2017
The document discusses endangered species conservation in Massachusetts. It provides data on the number of endangered, threatened and special concern species in the state, organized by taxonomic group. It then discusses reasons why species are at risk, including having a narrow niche, small populations and dependence on other species. The document outlines conservation tools used in Massachusetts like land protection, habitat management and education. Finally, it provides examples of career opportunities in endangered species conservation, such as with the Division of Fisheries and Wildlife.
9.4 stuff of ecosystems
The document discusses biotic and abiotic factors that can impact populations within an ecosystem. Biotic factors are the living components like predators, food supply, disease, population density, birth rate and mortality. Abiotic factors are physical and chemical non-living factors like wind, temperature, water, light and soil. The document also notes that biodiversity is at risk with an estimated 1-10 million species that are yet to be discovered, and species are disappearing at an alarming rate due to habitat destruction, hunting, invasive species and other reasons. Methods to save biodiversity include protecting individual species in zoos/parks and through breeding programs, as well as taking an ecosystem approach to protect entire habitats.

It also describes activities at the workshop including a field trip, aquatic sampling techniques, and an introduction to monitoring methods. The document highlights the overlap between the salamander's range and PG&E's service territory and facilities.
Meeting presentation. 2011. Ecological Services of Weeds
This document discusses the ecological services provided by weeds and non-native plants. It notes that while weeds are typically managed to reduce their negative impacts, they can also provide important benefits by providing food, shelter, nesting sites, and perching areas for native wildlife. The document explores various examples of wildlife utilizing weeds and recommends management modifications like altering the timing, intensity, proportion or scale of weed control activities to maintain these ecological services while still meeting management goals. The goal is to recognize and preserve the wildlife value weeds can provide through a "dual goals" approach to management.
Averting a biodiversity crisis: AmphibiaWeb addresses the new Bsal threat
This document summarizes the threat posed by the amphibian disease Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans (Bsal) to global salamander populations. Bsal was recently discovered in Europe and causes die-offs of fire salamanders. It poses a high risk of being introduced to North America through the international pet trade of Asian fire-bellied newts, which may act as reservoirs. The disease has suitable climate conditions to establish in parts of the US with high salamander diversity and endemism. Monitoring programs and restrictions on the wildlife trade are recommended to prevent an outbreak comparable to the global spread of the related disease Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
