This document provides information on 5 different bird species found in North America:
The Red-tailed Hawk has broad wings, hunts small mammals and birds, and is commonly seen perching in trees across the US and Mexico. Canada Geese populations have risen near urban areas where they are considered pests, and migrate south for winter. Wild Turkeys are ground-feeding omnivores recognizable in the US oak forests, and roost in trees at night. Mourning Doves have pointed tails and eat seeds, sometimes confusing their calls with owls. Barn Swallows build mud nests on barns and buildings, hunting insects near streams during their warm weather range across North America.
The whistling duck
The document describes 8 different species of whistling ducks: the black-bellied whistling duck, lesser whistling duck, fulvous whistling duck, white faced whistling duck, plumed whistling duck, wandering whistling duck, West Indian whistling duck, and spotted whistling duck. Each entry provides a brief description of the species' breeding range and some distinguishing characteristics.
Broadbill forest camp
Broadbill Forest Camp is named after the African Green broadbill, an endangered bird specie found ONLY in Ruhija- Bwindi impenetrable national park (Uganda) and Congo.
The owner of the lodge Emmy R Gongo felt deep need to make people aware of this endangered specie by building a lodge named after it.
Blanding's turtle meghan
Blanding's Turtle can range in size from 16 to 22 cm, with a high-domed carapace that is dark with pale yellow flecking for adults and brown for hatchlings. They are endangered due to habitat destruction and road mortality, as humans build roads through their habitats. Conservation efforts aim to preserve remaining habitats and relocate turtles to safer areas, but road mortality still poses a major threat as preserved habitats may still contain roads. Blanding's Turtles have a slow reproduction rate and do not reach sexual maturity until 14-20 years old.
The northern spotted owl
The Northern Spotted Owl is a medium-sized owl found in old growth forests of the Pacific Northwest. It nests in tree cavities and abandoned nests of other species. The biggest threat to the species is loss of old growth forest habitat due to logging. Efforts to help the owl include donating to wildlife organizations, advocating for protected lands, and educating others in the community.
Massimo's Grassland Biome
The document discusses the grassland biome, including that there is a grassland in Yellowstone Park, and that grasslands contain cheetahs, foxes, lions and many other animals. It also notes that there are many plants found in grasslands around the world, and that grasslands can be fun places to visit. Grasslands vary and can contain flowers, trees or just grass.
Northern spotted owl
The Northern Spotted Owl lives in old growth forests along the western coast of North America. It nests in tree cavities and broken treetops and feeds on small mammals. Logging and habitat loss are major threats as the owl requires mature forests that can take over 200 years to develop. Conservation efforts aim to protect remaining old growth forests, conduct breeding programs, and restrict hunting to help the vulnerable populations of this indicator species.

Squirrels, the Cute Monsters
Squirrels can be pests that damage homes, gardens, and crops. There are several types of squirrels that can cause problems, including red squirrels, grey squirrels, flying squirrels, California ground squirrels, western grey squirrels, chickarees, and thirteen-lined ground squirrels. These squirrels can transmit diseases to humans, destroy plants and gardens, and damage structures through their burrowing and nesting behaviors. It is best to contact pest control professionals to humanely remove squirrels from homes and offices to prevent damage and disease transmission.
HOUSE SPARROW.pptx
House Sparrows are closely associated with human settlements and buildings, where they find shelter and food. They eat grains, seeds, and insects, readily visiting bird feeders. House Sparrows nest in cavities in buildings and structures, often outcompeting native cavity-nesting birds. While their populations were previously increasing with human expansion, House Sparrow numbers have more recently declined by around 80% from the mid-20th century, possibly due to agricultural industrialization reducing suitable habitat.
Forestry for Wildlife
Wildlife provides many benefits to forests such as seed dispersal and nutrient recycling. In turn, forests provide wildlife with food, water, cover and habitat. Good forest stewardship incorporates wildlife needs into management plans by considering all components of the forest ecosystem. Plans should provide a diversity of habitat types including forest floor, mid-canopy and tree tops to support different species. Practices like retaining deadwood, cavities, mast-producing plants and protecting wetlands and streams benefit wildlife. Management should account for species' specific needs and how the land can contribute to regional habitat connectivity and diversity.

The redshank is also outlined, noting the differences between the spotted and common varieties and how they feed by wading and plunging their beaks into water.
Ecology of tropical parrots
Parrots are found in tropical and subtropical regions around the world, including South America, Australia, and Asia. There are over 350 species of parrots that live in large forests and nest in tree cavities or cliff crevices. Parrots have colorful feathers, short necks, curved bills, and zygodactyl feet adapted for tree climbing. They form long-term monogamous pairs and use strong beaks to crack open shells and seeds as their primary food sources. However, many parrot species are now threatened by habitat loss and the live bird trade.
Field study of birds
Birds are endothermic vertebrates characterized by feathers, beaked jaws, laying hard-shelled eggs, and a high metabolic rate. There are around 8,700-9,600 living bird species worldwide that vary greatly in size. Birds are classified in the kingdom Animalia, phylum Chordata, and class Aves. Common types of birds include doves, flamingos, and eagles, which are found in various habitats and have distinguishing physical traits. Birds undertake seasonal migrations for breeding and survival, moving between northern and southern latitudes. Migratory birds such as swans, geese, and ducks help control pests and dispose of dead animals, benefiting human populations.
Coniferous forest
This document discusses biodiversity in coniferous forests. It defines biodiversity as the variety of species and ecosystems in a particular area. Coniferous forests have diverse plant species like spruce, hemlock, pine and fir trees that are adapted to cold climates. They also support a variety of animal species, though some migrate seasonally. Logging and deforestation threaten biodiversity in coniferous forests by destroying habitats and forcing animals out of their homes, endangering species like the Northern Spotted Owl. The document stresses the importance of protecting coniferous forest biodiversity.
Tree crickets
Tree crickets, also known as Oecanthus pellucens, are small yellowish-brown insects found worldwide, especially in central and western Asia, northern Africa, and Europe. They live in sunny meadows and grasslands with high vegetation. Males produce sound by rubbing their wings together at night to attract mates. Females lay eggs in plant stems which hatch into nymphs. Tree crickets are omnivorous but do not cause economic damage so no control methods are needed.

European Starling (1).pptx
The European starling is one of the most numerous and successful bird species in the world. It was introduced to North America in the late 1800s and is now among the most abundant bird species there. Starlings are adaptable omnivores that eat a variety of plants, insects, and other small animals. They flock together for protection from predators like cats and falcons. Though they provide a food source for some predators and eat agricultural pests, starlings also damage crops and outcompete native bird species when introduced elsewhere. They breed from March to July in most of their range, laying multiple clutches of 3-5 eggs per season.

Nucleophilic Addition of carbonyl compounds.pptx
Nucleophilic addition is the most important reaction of carbonyls. Not just aldehydes and ketones, but also carboxylic acid derivatives in general.
Carbonyls undergo addition reactions with a large range of nucleophiles.
Comparing the relative basicity of the nucleophile and the product is extremely helpful in determining how reversible the addition reaction is. Reactions with Grignards and hydrides are irreversible. Reactions with weak bases like halides and carboxylates generally don’t happen.
Electronic effects (inductive effects, electron donation) have a large impact on reactivity.
Large groups adjacent to the carbonyl will slow the rate of reaction.
Neutral nucleophiles can also add to carbonyls, although their additions are generally slower and more reversible. Acid catalysis is sometimes employed to increase the rate of addition.

Applied Science: Thermodynamics, Laws & Methodology.pdf
When I was asked to give a companion lecture in support of ‘The Philosophy of Science’ (https://shorturl.at/4pUXz) I decided not to walk through the detail of the many methodologies in order of use. Instead, I chose to employ a long standing, and ongoing, scientific development as an exemplar. And so, I chose the ever evolving story of Thermodynamics as a scientific investigation at its best.
Conducted over a period of >200 years, Thermodynamics R&D, and application, benefitted from the highest levels of professionalism, collaboration, and technical thoroughness. New layers of application, methodology, and practice were made possible by the progressive advance of technology. In turn, this has seen measurement and modelling accuracy continually improved at a micro and macro level.
Perhaps most importantly, Thermodynamics rapidly became a primary tool in the advance of applied science/engineering/technology, spanning micro-tech, to aerospace and cosmology. I can think of no better a story to illustrate the breadth of scientific methodologies and applications at their best.
Deep Behavioral Phenotyping in Systems Neuroscience for Functional Atlasing a...
Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) provides means to characterize brain activations in response to behavior. However, cognitive neuroscience has been limited to group-level effects referring to the performance of specific tasks. To obtain the functional profile of elementary cognitive mechanisms, the combination of brain responses to many tasks is required. Yet, to date, both structural atlases and parcellation-based activations do not fully account for cognitive function and still present several limitations. Further, they do not adapt overall to individual characteristics. In this talk, I will give an account of deep-behavioral phenotyping strategies, namely data-driven methods in large task-fMRI datasets, to optimize functional brain-data collection and improve inference of effects-of-interest related to mental processes. Key to this approach is the employment of fast multi-functional paradigms rich on features that can be well parametrized and, consequently, facilitate the creation of psycho-physiological constructs to be modelled with imaging data. Particular emphasis will be given to music stimuli when studying high-order cognitive mechanisms, due to their ecological nature and quality to enable complex behavior compounded by discrete entities. I will also discuss how deep-behavioral phenotyping and individualized models applied to neuroimaging data can better account for the subject-specific organization of domain-general cognitive systems in the human brain. Finally, the accumulation of functional brain signatures brings the possibility to clarify relationships among tasks and create a univocal link between brain systems and mental functions through: (1) the development of ontologies proposing an organization of cognitive processes; and (2) brain-network taxonomies describing functional specialization. To this end, tools to improve commensurability in cognitive science are necessary, such as public repositories, ontology-based platforms and automated meta-analysis tools. I will thus discuss some brain-atlasing resources currently under development, and their applicability in cognitive as well as clinical neuroscience.

EWOCS-I: The catalog of X-ray sources in Westerlund 1 from the Extended Weste...
Context. With a mass exceeding several 104 M⊙ and a rich and dense population of massive stars, supermassive young star clusters
represent the most massive star-forming environment that is dominated by the feedback from massive stars and gravitational interactions
among stars.
Aims. In this paper we present the Extended Westerlund 1 and 2 Open Clusters Survey (EWOCS) project, which aims to investigate
the influence of the starburst environment on the formation of stars and planets, and on the evolution of both low and high mass stars.
The primary targets of this project are Westerlund 1 and 2, the closest supermassive star clusters to the Sun.
Methods. The project is based primarily on recent observations conducted with the Chandra and JWST observatories. Specifically,
the Chandra survey of Westerlund 1 consists of 36 new ACIS-I observations, nearly co-pointed, for a total exposure time of 1 Msec.
Additionally, we included 8 archival Chandra/ACIS-S observations. This paper presents the resulting catalog of X-ray sources within
and around Westerlund 1. Sources were detected by combining various existing methods, and photon extraction and source validation
were carried out using the ACIS-Extract software.
Results. The EWOCS X-ray catalog comprises 5963 validated sources out of the 9420 initially provided to ACIS-Extract, reaching a
photon flux threshold of approximately 2 × 10−8 photons cm−2
s
−1
. The X-ray sources exhibit a highly concentrated spatial distribution,
with 1075 sources located within the central 1 arcmin. We have successfully detected X-ray emissions from 126 out of the 166 known
massive stars of the cluster, and we have collected over 71 000 photons from the magnetar CXO J164710.20-455217.
The debris of the ‘last major merger’ is dynamically young
The Milky Way’s (MW) inner stellar halo contains an [Fe/H]-rich component with highly eccentric orbits, often referred to as the
‘last major merger.’ Hypotheses for the origin of this component include Gaia-Sausage/Enceladus (GSE), where the progenitor
collided with the MW proto-disc 8–11 Gyr ago, and the Virgo Radial Merger (VRM), where the progenitor collided with the
MW disc within the last 3 Gyr. These two scenarios make different predictions about observable structure in local phase space,
because the morphology of debris depends on how long it has had to phase mix. The recently identified phase-space folds in Gaia
DR3 have positive caustic velocities, making them fundamentally different than the phase-mixed chevrons found in simulations
at late times. Roughly 20 per cent of the stars in the prograde local stellar halo are associated with the observed caustics. Based
on a simple phase-mixing model, the observed number of caustics are consistent with a merger that occurred 1–2 Gyr ago.
We also compare the observed phase-space distribution to FIRE-2 Latte simulations of GSE-like mergers, using a quantitative
measurement of phase mixing (2D causticality). The observed local phase-space distribution best matches the simulated data
1–2 Gyr after collision, and certainly not later than 3 Gyr. This is further evidence that the progenitor of the ‘last major merger’
did not collide with the MW proto-disc at early times, as is thought for the GSE, but instead collided with the MW disc within
the last few Gyr, consistent with the body of work surrounding the VRM.
