Costa Rica - Land of Diversity
The document appears to be a travelogue from a trip to Costa Rica, as it contains over 30 photos from various locations and activities in Costa Rica like a butterfly farm, coffee shop, volcano, ziplining, river rafting, chocolate farm, and wildlife spotting. The trip involved visits to different eco-lodges, tours that highlighted the country's natural beauty and biodiversity, and interactions with local flora and fauna such as howler monkeys, toucans, and rhinoceros beetles.
Costa Rica
Costa Rica has a population that is mostly descended from Spanish colonists, though some indigenous groups remain. Christopher Columbus first encountered Costa Rica in 1502, and it gained independence from Spain in 1821. The country has experienced political instability and civil war but now has a stable democracy. Costa Rica has a diverse landscape and climate and a relatively high standard of living, supported by tourism and exports of coffee and pineapples. Notable Costa Ricans include Nobel Peace Prize winner Oscar Arias Sanchez and soccer goalkeeper Keylor Navas.
History of Costa Rica
Costa Rica is unique. While sharing with its neighbors the experiences of colonial exploitation and commodity-export dependency, Costa Rica managed to rise above. Instead of recurring cycles of dictatorship and poverty, Costa Rica boasts an enduring democracy and the highest standards of living in Central America. What’s more, Costa Rica is unique among all nations for its ‘unarmed’ political democracy and ‘green’ economic revolution.

Costa Rica
Costa Rica has a long history dating back 10,000 years to early indigenous cultures. Christopher Columbus first encountered Costa Rica in 1502, though the Spanish showed little interest until Juan Vazquez de Coronado founded Cartago in 1562. Costa Rica gained independence in the 1800s along with other Latin American countries. In 1948, a civil war broke out between two political parties, leading to social reforms under the new president. Costa Rica is now highly biodiverse with 500,000 species and 25% of its land protected, and its people are generally well-educated and middle class who enjoy soccer, dancing, and Catholic traditions.

History of taxonomy
This document provides a history of taxonomy from ancient times through the modern era. It discusses how early ancient Chinese, Egyptian, Greek, and Roman scholars began classifying and organizing plants and animals. Key early taxonomists mentioned include Aristotle, Theophrastus, Dioscorides, and Pliny. It then covers the contributions of later taxonomists like Caesalpino, the Bauhin brothers, John Ray, and Joseph Pitton de Tournefort. The era of Carl Linnaeus is described as revolutionizing taxonomy through his introduction of binomial nomenclature. The document outlines how Linnaeus helped transform botany and zoology into scientific disciplines. It concludes with a discussion of developments like cl

The document summarizes a study on the status of the tiger beetle (Cicindela hirticollis) along the coast of New York City and Long Island. The beetle was historically found at 30 coastal locations but surveys from 1989 to 2010 found populations at only 13 beaches. Only 4 sites had large populations of 40 or more beetles. No beetles were found at the formerly occupied large coastal beaches. The decline is likely due to heavy human foot and vehicle traffic on beaches that destroys the beetles' burrows. Coastal beaches need management that recognizes their role in supporting wildlife like tiger beetles.
GEOLOGIC HISTORY, EVOLUTIONARY TRENDS OF BIRDS_110959.pptx
Birds evolved from archosaurian reptiles and the oldest known bird fossil is Archaeopteryx lithographica from 150 million years ago. While the dinosaurian origin of birds was widely accepted, alternative theories emerged but were later disproven. Mesozoic birds diversified in the Early Cretaceous with the evolution of feathers likely beginning in non-flying dinosaurs. Modern flight capabilities evolved later. The mass extinction at the end of the Cretaceous wiped out many bird lineages but some survived to diversify after, resulting in over 10,000 living species divided into paleognaths and neognaths. Current evolutionary trends include higher extinction rates than new species emergence and increased hybridization due to human activities.
ANTHRO.pptx
Anthropology is defined as the scientific study of man's physical and cultural aspects. It has two essential fields: physical anthropology, which focuses on human evolution, anatomy and physiology; and cultural anthropology, which studies the origins and development of human societies and cultures. The document then outlines important figures in the development of anthropology as an academic field, including Christian Jurgensen Thomsen who developed the three-age system of the Stone Age, Bronze Age and Iron Age. It discusses how anthropology provides insights into human development and behavior across different cultures and environments, making it an important factor in education.

1. Captive keeping of reptiles and amphibians is important for conservation efforts as these species are severely threatened in the wild. Zoos now focus on conservation, education, and research in addition to entertainment.
2. Biodiversity is declining rapidly due to habitat loss, overexploitation, pollution, invasive species, and climate change. Extinction rates are estimated to be 1,000 to 10,000 times higher than normal.
3. Reptiles and amphibians make up a large part of threatened species collections in zoos. Understanding their communication and natural behaviors is important for their welfare in captivity.

Ahtr preshistory
Prehistoric art in Europe dates back over 10,000 years to the Paleolithic era. During this time, early humans created small carved figurines and paintings of animals on cave walls. As cultures developed and settled into places like Catalhoyuk in Turkey and Sesklo in Greece by 7400 BCE, construction methods improved and included woven wood and mud walls. Major architectural sites began to emerge such as Stonehenge between 2900 BCE and 1500 BCE, which also coincided with the rise of metalworking in the Bronze Age when rock art flourished in Scandinavia.

The history of forensic entomology began in 13th century China, when flies detected blood on a murder weapon. Centuries later, artists accurately depicted maggot-infested corpses. In the late 18th and early 19th centuries, doctors recognized that maggots play an important role in decomposition. In the 1880s, Reinhard and Hofmann documented flies on exhumed corpses, beginning systematic studies. Around the same time, Mégnin recognized predictable waves of corpse colonization by arthropods. His 1894 book was a milestone. Studies by Johnston, Villeneuve, and Motter in the late 19th century helped establish the field. Foundations were laid for faunistic surveys and methods to determine time

ecosystem open elective.pptx
An ecosystem consists of all the organisms and physical environment that interact in a specific area. Early Greek philosophers made early observations on natural history and ecosystems. Concepts like food chains and species relationships were developed starting in the 1700s. The term "ecology" was coined by Ernst Haeckel in 1866 to describe the interactions between organisms and their environment. Ecology became an important field in the 1960s and 1970s as the environmental movement grew.

The document discusses the completion of Linnaeus' task of cataloguing Earth's biodiversity through the development of ZooBank, an online registry for the nomenclature of animal names. It outlines how previous works like Systema Naturae, Zoological Record, and Index Animalium helped in this effort. ZooBank would provide globally unique identifiers for names, publications, authors, and type specimens to facilitate accessibility, completeness, accuracy, and quality control of nomenclatural data online. This would support the goals of transparent taxonomy and serve various stakeholders.
Introduction to Systematic Botany
This document provides an overview of the history and importance of systematic botany. It discusses how systematic botany evolved from early classification attempts by ancient tribes and scholars like Aristotle and Theophrastus to the modern system developed by Carolus Linnaeus in the 18th century.

Water-related bird assemblages in an urban pond ‘archipelago’: Winter pattern...
Water-related bird assemblages in an urban pond ‘archipelago’: Winter pattern...Maria Paola Di Santo
This study reports on the patterns of species occurrence, abundance and richness of a wintering water-related bird assemblage in an ‘archipelago’ of 70 small artificial urban ponds (AUPs) embedded in a metropolitan landscape (Rome, central Italy). A total of 20 species in 26 AUPs were sampled. Only the largest AUPs (>0.1 ha) contained all these species, except for Gallinula chloropus. The highest total mean species abundance was observed in the largest ponds, with statistically significant differences evident among size classes. Two significant spatial thresholds in species abundance and richness were observed (between 0.01 and 0.1 ha; between 0.1 and 1 ha in size). The abundance of single species was correlated with their frequency of occurrence. Ponds in urban areas must be larger than 0.1 ha to host a rich winter assemblage of birds, with a further increase in richness noted with a surface area larger than 1 ha. The highest number of species was observed in the larger ponds (>1 ha). The species richness of each AUP is directly correlated to their size (log-transformed species–area relationship: log S = 3.515 + 0.497 log A; R2 = 0.76). Further research should be conducted to confirm these patterns and to implement information useful for planning and management of artificial ponds in urban areas for this purpose.Taxonomy by Ayushi Srivastava
This document provides an overview of the history and development of taxonomy. It discusses early Eastern and Western classifiers from 3000 BC to the 1700s AD such as Shen Nung, Aristotle, Theophrastus, and Linnaeus. It then summarizes advances from the 1600s to present, including the establishment of the biological species concept, evolutionary taxonomy based on cladistics and phylogenetics, and the increasing use of genetic data to construct phylogenetic trees.

It describes how early European naturalists lived in Costa Rica for many years in the 19th century to conduct complete inventories of the flora and fauna. It then outlines some prominent 20th century Costa Rican biologists and botanists who conducted important field research and established institutions that helped develop the country's understanding of biodiversity and conservation efforts. The document concludes by noting how modern research benefits from more institutional support, funding, technology, and international collaboration.

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.
