The bird
This document discusses the key characteristics of birds. It notes that birds are endothermic, having feathers, wings, and a lightweight skeleton adapted for flight. Their fast metabolism allows efficient digestion to fuel flight and maintain a high body temperature of 40-44 degrees Celsius. Feathers insulate birds and flight requires adaptations like a strong breastbone and fused collarbone. A bird's beak and feet reflect its diet and habitat, with different shapes for perching, wading, or catching prey.
Flight Muscles of Birds
The document discusses the different types of flight and perching muscles in birds. There are three types of flight muscles - pectoral muscles, accessory muscles, and tensor muscles. Pectoral muscles like the pectoralis major and minor control the downstroke and upstroke of the wings during flight. Accessory muscles like the coraco-brachialis longus and brevis help elevate or depress the wings. Tensor muscles keep the wings stretched during flight. Perching muscles allow birds to flex their toes around perches and include flexor muscles like the gastrocnemius and extensor muscles like the plantoris.
Peacock
The peacock, or Indian blue peafowl, is a medium-sized bird native to South Asia. Males have extravagant multi-colored trains of iridescent feathers that can span over 1 meter. During mating season, males perform visual displays to attract females, who select mates based on train size and health. Peafowl are omnivorous, eating insects, plants, and small animals. They live solitary or in small groups and communicate through loud calls. Though long-lived in captivity, peafowl face threats in the wild from habitat loss and predation by large cats and wild dogs.
Birds
This document provides an overview of birds, including their:
- Adaptations for flight including feathers, lightweight skeletons, and specialized respiratory systems.

Study of preserved invertebrate species and their
The document discusses the classification of invertebrate animals. It describes 10 major phyla: Porifera, Cnidaria, Platyhelminthes, Nematoda, Annelida, Arthropoda, Mollusca, and Protozoa. For each phylum, it provides the key characteristics, examples of common types of animals in the phylum, and their classification into classes and orders. The document also includes images of example species from several of the phyla.
Mammalian Digestive system-1.pptx
The document discusses the digestive system of mammals. It describes the organs of the digestive tract from mouth to anus. It explains their functions and enzymes involved in digesting food. Accessory organs like liver, pancreas and gallbladder are also discussed. Feeding mechanisms like teeth and tongue are described along with their roles in ingestion and digestion. Herbivorous and carnivorous mammals are compared in terms of their digestive features suited to their diets.
Types of flight in birds
There are several types of flight used by different birds:
1. Gliding flight is used by waterfowl for landing and involves stationary wings and losing altitude.
2. Flapping flight generates the power for flight and is the most common, with variations in wing shapes and flapping patterns between species.
3. Soaring flight allows some birds to remain airborne without expending much energy by using updrafts and air currents, with wings remaining stationary; hawks and vultures soar by circling valleys and gaining altitude with updrafts before gliding downwind.
Reptiles class
1. Reptiles originated from primitive labyrinthodont amphibians during the Carboniferous period and underwent two major periods of adaptive radiation - in the Paleozoic and Mesozoic eras.
2. During the Mesozoic era, reptiles dominated land, sea and air, represented by 16 orders, including dinosaurs, pterosaurs, marine reptiles and the ancestors of modern crocodiles and birds.
3. Transitional fossils like Archaeopteryx provide evidence that birds evolved from reptiles with feathers and wishbones evolving among traits shared with modern avians.

Reptiles of Pakistan
Over 195 species of reptiles are found in Pakistan, including 13 endemic species. Two critically endangered crocodilian species - the mugger crocodile and gharial - live in Pakistan's rivers and wetlands. The mugger occurs primarily in Sindh and Balochistan, while the gharial is now virtually extinct throughout Pakistan. Both species face major threats from habitat loss and overhunting. The government is interested in surveys to assess their status and potential conservation programs, including a captive rearing center, to support restocking efforts.
Order-Chiroptera
Bats are flying mammals in the order Chiroptera. They have wings made of skin stretched between their forelimbs and tail, weak hind limbs with five clawed toes and knees that point backwards. Bats have large external ears, small eyes with poor vision, and include species like Pteropus and Pipistrellus. Pteropus is a fruit-eating bat commonly called a "flying fox" found in India, with brown fur, a long snout without a nose leaf, wings, small pinnae and a tail not included in the interfemoral membrane, that feeds on fruits such as guavas, bananas and mangoes.

It then discusses threats to biodiversity such as habitat loss and overexploitation. The document advocates for biodiversity conservation and outlines several steps to conserve biodiversity, including protecting ecosystems, sustainable agriculture, and combating climate change.
Major groups of animals
The document classifies animals into two major groups: invertebrates and vertebrates. Invertebrates lack a backbone and include soft-bodied animals like sponges, jellyfish, worms, insects, mollusks and arthropods. Vertebrates have backbones and include fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals. The document provides examples of different types of animals from each major group and their distinguishing characteristics.
Adaptaive radiation
Adaptive radiation occurs when a single ancestral species diversifies rapidly into several new species with distinct ecological niches. This can happen when a group enters a new environment with unoccupied niches. Examples include Darwin's finches in the Galapagos, which diversified beak shapes to exploit different food sources, and mammals, which radiated into arboreal, aquatic, fossorial and other forms from a common ancestor. Adaptive radiation allows organisms to fill ecological space and drives evolutionary diversification.
Desert animal adaptations
This document discusses how God adapted various desert plants and animals to survive in the harsh desert environment. It describes how camels can go long periods without food or water due to stored fat in their hump. Rabbits and birds like owls are well-camouflaged and nocturnal. Lizards can drop their tails and chameleons can change color for protection. Cacti have thick skins and roots to store water. The Bible prohibited eating some animals like rabbits and birds for the Israelites. Overall, the document shows how God gave desert creatures special traits and behaviors to endure the desert's extreme heat, aridity, and lack of resources.
Rotifers phylum
Rotifers are microscopic aquatic animals of the phylum Rotifera. Rotifers can be found in many freshwater environments and in moist soil, where they inhabit the thin films of water that are formed around soil particles.
Classification of Mammals
This document provides information about the classification and characteristics of mammals. It begins with an overview of the infraclass Eutheria, or placental mammals, noting the key role of the placenta in allowing longer gestation. It then details three orders of mammals as examples: Insectivora, Xenarthra, and Chiroptera (bats). For each order, it describes general physical traits, habitat, behavior and other distinguishing characteristics. The document concludes with an overview of the order Primates, their traits and suborders.
Birds
- Birds evolved from reptiles and Archaeopteryx possessed both reptilian and avian features. Key avian traits include feathers, hollow lightweight bones, beaks, endothermy, and amniotic eggs.
- Birds have highly specialized organ systems for flight including strong heart and respiratory systems. Their feathers provide insulation and flight abilities.
- There are many orders of birds with varied traits like waterfowl that are aquatic, owls with keen vision and hearing, and songbirds that communicate through song.
Chordate characteristics 2016
This document describes the characteristics of the phylum Chordata, which includes humans and other vertebrate animals. Chordata are defined by having a notochord or backbone during development. The phylum contains five subphyla: Hemichordata, Urochordata, Cephalochordata, and Vertebrata. Vertebrata are further divided into seven classes: Agnatha, Chondrichthyes, Osteichthyes, Amphibia, Reptilia, Aves, and Mammalia. The document provides details on characteristics and examples for each group.
Oriental region
The document describes the fauna found in the Oriental region, which includes South Asia, Southeast Asia, and southern China. It is divided into 4 sub-regions: the Indian, Ceylon, Indo-China, and Indo-Malayan sub-regions. Each sub-region supports different types of fauna, including various mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, and fish. In total, the region's fauna includes over 30 mammalian families and 66 bird families, and is dominated by species like carp, catfish, snakes, lizards, monkeys, rhinos, and elephants.
Crustacean powerpoint
Crustaceans are a large phylum of arthropods including crabs, shrimp, lobsters, barnacles, copepods and krill. They mostly live in water and have a body divided into two parts - a fused head and thorax called the cephalothorax, and an abdomen. They have many specialized jointed appendages including walking legs, swimming legs, and feeding appendages. Crustaceans have a variety of feeding methods from predation to filter feeding. They reproduce sexually with external fertilization and females carry eggs until hatching.

It discusses brooding and rearing of chicks, breeding management, feeding management including what to feed at different stages, laying management, and incubation of eggs. Key points include the largest breed being the Maasai ostrich, ostriches requiring large open areas to roam, important factors for brooding like temperature and litter, and females beginning egg laying at around 2 years of age and being productive for over 30 years.
"parental care of harvivore animals "seminar by Subrata paul
This document discusses parental care in herbivorous mammals. It describes how parental care varies between species, with females generally providing most of the care since males contribute little after mating. The types of parental care include maternal, paternal, and biparental care. Examples are given for several species like hippopotamus, giraffe, gorilla, and okapi. Benefits of parental care include improved offspring survival. There can also be conflicts between parents and offspring over the level and duration of care provided.
Convergent evolution
This document discusses many examples of convergent evolution across different species and environments. Some key examples mentioned include:
- Mimicry complexes that have evolved independently in insects like butterflies and snakes. Mimicry provides protection from predators for palatable species.
- Convergent evolution of traits like wings, flight, body forms adapted for swimming/flying, and defensive adaptations like spines in plants from arid regions.
- Convergent evolution of traits in lizards like burrowing, toe pads for sand, and color patterns as defenses against predators across different continents.
- Convergent camera-like eye structures in vertebrates and cephalopods providing an example of complex traits evolving
Metamorphosis in insects
There are three main types of metamorphosis in insects: ametabolous, gradual (incomplete), and complete. Ametabolous insects like springtails undergo simple growth without morphological changes between immature and adult stages. Gradually metamorphosing insects like grasshoppers change gradually through nymph stages that resemble adults. Completely metamorphosing insects like butterflies undergo a dramatic transformation through distinct larva and pupa stages before emerging as adults. The production and cessation of juvenile hormone by the corpora allata gland controls whether an insect remains immature or undergoes metamorphosis into an adult form.
Electric organ in Torpedo
Torpedo, commonly known as electric rays, are marine carnivorous fish found on sandy or muddy bottoms from 80-100 meters deep. They are capable of generating electricity through specialized electric organs as a defense and feeding mechanism. The electric organs are composed of hexagonal electroplex cells arranged vertically like prisms that can discharge currents of 50-60 volts. Fishes are immune to their own electric currents due to high insulation of nerve fibers and high excitation thresholds of muscle fibers. The electric organs function to catch prey and as defense and warning mechanisms, and help maintain territories and allow for species recognition.
