Prairie dogs live in large, complex social colonies composed of multiple neighborhoods. Within these neighborhoods, groups of prairie dogs share resources and have an intricate communication system using various vocalizations. They greet each other, play, groom, and constantly communicate to share information about dangers and how to respond. Some scientists believe prairie dogs can identify who is communicating and convey detailed instructions through their language.

Wolf social grouping and communication Vertebrate Zoology Spring 2018
Gray wolves live in packs that typically include 2-40 individuals. Packs are led by a dominant breeding pair, the alpha male and female. Wolves communicate through sounds like howls, barks and growls to coordinate hunting and defend their territories. They also use scent marking through urine and feces. Body language like ear position indicates emotions while posture denotes social status within the pack. These complex social behaviors allow wolf packs to successfully work together to hunt large prey.
Spotted hyena
The spotted hyena is a large, tan-brown scavenger found on the savannas of Africa. It has powerful jaws and teeth that allow it to eat bones, and weighs up to 200 pounds. While known for its laughing call, the spotted hyena both scavenges and actively hunts prey like wildebeests, zebras, and gazelles. It has the strongest bite of any mammal and can live up to 25 years in the wild or 40 years in captivity.

Regina Mammals
Mammals are warm-blooded animals that give birth to live young rather than laying eggs, and have hair or fur. They inhabit lands, seas, skies and underground. Mammals have diverse diets ranging from plants to small prey animals depending on whether they are herbivores, carnivores or omnivores. Examples of mammal groups include armadillos, bats, hoofed animals, marine life, pouched mammals and primates.
Red fox presentation
The red fox is the most widely spread of the true foxes found on every continent except Antarctica. As omnivores, they primarily eat small animals and rodents but will also consume plants. Red foxes typically live 3-4 years in the wild but can survive up to 12 years. They strictly breed once per year between January and March, where females give birth to litters of around 6 kits. Of all fox species, the red fox is the most adaptable to diverse habitats as long as a water source is nearby. Red foxes are solitary except during mating season and will defend their territory from coyotes.
Canadian goose
Canadian geese are large waterfowl identifiable by their white chin strap and long black neck. They nest near bodies of water in Canada and northern US, making nests out of sticks, moss, grass, and down in shallow indents. Females sound a high "hink" and males a low "ahonk" to communicate, and females are committed to caring for their babies, defending territory aggressively if needed. Their habitat provides food sources and is also home to other animals, with humans having both positive and negative impacts. Losing members of the food chain could affect the ecosystem.
Hippopotamus
The hippopotamus is the third largest land animal that lives in rivers and lakes in sub-Saharan Africa. It can weigh up to nearly 10,000 pounds, has sensitive skin that is blackish-gray in color, and feeds mainly on grass while living in groups and caring for its young. Though not endangered, the hippopotamus has a lifespan of 20-40 years in the wild and up to 50 years in captivity.

Capybaras live in South America's rainforests and grasslands, usually near bodies of water. As the largest rodents in the world, they eat 6-8 pounds of plants per day and live in herds of up to 100 individuals led by a male. Capybaras are active at night to avoid predators like foxes and jaguars, and use their habitat and herd structure to protect themselves and their young. They mate for life and communicate through sounds to warn of danger.

The document discusses various facts about cheetahs. It covers their scientific name, classification as big cats along with other species, what a young cheetah is called, their diet of smaller antelopes and ostrich eggs, their ability to run very fast up to 100 mph but tire quickly, habitat in open plains, similarity to leopards but different build, being predators of frogs and hares, inability to roar unlike other big cats, and efforts by zoos to create habitats for cheetahs to raise their young.
African Pastoralists
The document discusses and compares two East African pastoralist groups, the Turkana and Masai. The Turkana are semi-nomadic herders who move their livestock in response to changing environmental conditions and divide their herds based on water availability, relying on social networks for flexibility. The Masai are mainly cattle herders in a more moist environment and practice transhumance rather than opportunistic movement; their social organization involves patriarchal households and age sets that determine status. Both groups rely on livestock, especially cattle, for their livelihoods and place high cultural importance on warriorhood, but treat women as marginalized and their status depends on bearing sons.
Pastoralists: Tribes into Chiefdoms?
This document discusses pastoralism and pastoralist societies. It provides an overview of pastoralism as an economic system and lifestyle, the characteristics of pastoralist tribes and chiefdoms, and theories about the development and influence of pastoralism. Three key points:
1) Pastoralism involves animal husbandry as the main source of subsistence, with herds of animals like cattle, sheep, and goats providing meat, dairy, and other resources for nomadic groups.
2) Pastoralist societies range in complexity from loose tribes to stratified chiefdoms, and warfare is an important part of many pastoralist cultures to raid animals from others.
3) While pastoralism is ideally a food production system on its

Cheetahs are the fastest land animal but their population has declined drastically. There are now only about 12,400 cheetahs left in the world due to loss of habitat, conflict with farmers, and poaching. Conservation efforts include breeding programs, wildlife reserves, educating farmers, and anti-poaching laws. Individuals can help by donating, volunteering, raising awareness through school projects, and supporting charities and zoos involved in cheetah conservation.
African Elephant Communication
African elephants live in family groups of 2-8 related females and offspring. Males leave their family group when mature and live solitary lives. Family groups communicate and travel together, while males compete for access to females during mating season. Female elephants give birth after a 22 month gestation and nurse their young for over 6 years. African elephants are found throughout sub-Saharan Africa and can be identified by their large ears and grey coloration.

Tasmanian devils are the largest carnivorous marsupials in the world. They are stocky animals around the size of small dogs, with black fur and white markings. Tasmanian devils are mainly scavengers but will also hunt smaller animals and prey. They have large home ranges that overlap with other devils as they search for food at night. In recent decades, a contagious facial tumor disease has spread among devil populations and threatens their long term survival, with the species now listed as vulnerable.
African Elephant Social Groups and Communication
Elephants live in complex social groups structured in a hierarchy. At the base are family groups made up of related females and offspring led by the oldest, largest female matriarch. Multiple family groups form bonded social units of up to 50 individuals and clans that share resources. Males leave their family group when mature to live solitarily. Elephants communicate over long distances using infrasonic calls below the range of human hearing to coordinate activities and recognize other herd members.
Biodiversity 12
Biodiversity refers to the variety of life on Earth at all levels, from genes to ecosystems. It can be measured in five levels: genetic diversity within species; species diversity within communities; community diversity within ecosystems; ecosystem diversity within biomes; and biome diversity across the planet. Species diversity has two components - species richness, which is the number of different species, and relative species abundance, which is the number of individuals of each species. Tropical rainforests generally have higher biodiversity than temperate regions due to factors like climate stability, habitat structure, competition and disturbance regimes.
Prairie dogs
Prairie dogs are closely tied to the prairie ecosystem. They eat mostly grasses and communicate through postures and calls. Their burrows provide shelter and are used for many social behaviors like grooming and nursing. Prairie dogs have predators like coyotes, eagles, and badgers. Their burrowing and grazing impacts the prairie landscape and benefits other species that use their mounds. They are a key part of maintaining the prairie through their foraging on grasses and aeration of the soil.
Unit a biologicaldiversitynotes
This document provides information on biological diversity and classification. It discusses that over 1.5 million animal species and 350,000 plant species have been identified. The greatest diversity is found in tropical regions near the equator. All living things need water, food, oxygen and a suitable environment. Species interact in ecosystems through predator-prey relationships, competition, and symbiosis. Charles Linnaeus developed the scientific system for naming and classifying organisms. Modern classification systems use 5 kingdoms. Variation within and between species is important for adaptation and evolution.
Habitat of the dog family
Dogs originate from wolves and their natural habitat is forests, plains, deserts and mountains. Dogs can live in most countries as either pets or in the wild. As pets, they live with humans but retain characteristics of wild dogs like intelligence and good senses of smell and hearing. The country with the most pet dogs is the United States. Domestication occurred as some wolves shifted to living near humans for food.
Shelby Mammals
Mammals are warm-blooded animals that give birth to live young rather than laying eggs, and they can be found living in many habitats around the world including on land, in the sea, in the air and underground. They communicate in various ways including making noises and touching noses in a friendly greeting, and they live together in social groups such as packs, herds and bachelor groups. There are many different types of mammals including armadillos, bats, carnivores, hoofed animals, marine animals, primates, rabbits, rodents and moles.

Red Fox and Gray Fox
Wolves, coyotes, and foxes were once abundant in Pennsylvania but were driven to extinction by human activity like habitat loss and bounty programs. Coyotes have since returned to the state and are found in all counties. They are larger than historic coyotes and believed to be coyote-wolf hybrids. Foxes were also affected by habitat changes as the gray fox's woodland habitat disappeared, allowing for the introduction and spread of the red fox. Both red and gray foxes are now found throughout the state. While wolves are still absent, efforts at conservation have allowed for their return in some parts of their historic range.

Evidence of Jet Activity from the Secondary Black Hole in the OJ 287 Binary S...
Wereport the study of a huge optical intraday flare on 2021 November 12 at 2 a.m. UT in the blazar OJ287. In the binary black hole model, it is associated with an impact of the secondary black hole on the accretion disk of the primary. Our multifrequency observing campaign was set up to search for such a signature of the impact based on a prediction made 8 yr earlier. The first I-band results of the flare have already been reported by Kishore et al. (2024). Here we combine these data with our monitoring in the R-band. There is a big change in the R–I spectral index by 1.0 ±0.1 between the normal background and the flare, suggesting a new component of radiation. The polarization variation during the rise of the flare suggests the same. The limits on the source size place it most reasonably in the jet of the secondary BH. We then ask why we have not seen this phenomenon before. We show that OJ287 was never before observed with sufficient sensitivity on the night when the flare should have happened according to the binary model. We also study the probability that this flare is just an oversized example of intraday variability using the Krakow data set of intense monitoring between 2015 and 2023. We find that the occurrence of a flare of this size and rapidity is unlikely. In machine-readable Tables 1 and 2, we give the full orbit-linked historical light curve of OJ287 as well as the dense monitoring sample of Krakow.

The cost of acquiring information by natural selection
This is a short talk that I gave at the Banff International Research Station workshop on Modeling and Theory in Population Biology. The idea is to try to understand how the burden of natural selection relates to the amount of information that selection puts into the genome.
It's based on the first part of this research paper:

Microbial interaction
Microorganisms interacts with each other and can be physically associated with another organisms in a variety of ways.
One organism can be located on the surface of another organism as an ectobiont or located within another organism as endobiont.
Microbial interaction may be positive such as mutualism, proto-cooperation, commensalism or may be negative such as parasitism, predation or competition
Types of microbial interaction
Positive interaction: mutualism, proto-cooperation, commensalism
Negative interaction: Ammensalism (antagonism), parasitism, predation, competition
I. Mutualism:
It is defined as the relationship in which each organism in interaction gets benefits from association. It is an obligatory relationship in which mutualist and host are metabolically dependent on each other.
Mutualistic relationship is very specific where one member of association cannot be replaced by another species.
Mutualism require close physical contact between interacting organisms.
Relationship of mutualism allows organisms to exist in habitat that could not occupied by either species alone.
Mutualistic relationship between organisms allows them to act as a single organism.
Examples of mutualism:
i. Lichens:
Lichens are excellent example of mutualism.
They are the association of specific fungi and certain genus of algae. In lichen, fungal partner is called mycobiont and algal partner is called
II. Syntrophism:
It is an association in which the growth of one organism either depends on or improved by the substrate provided by another organism.
In syntrophism both organism in association gets benefits.
Compound A
Utilized by population 1
Compound B
Utilized by population 2
Compound C
utilized by both Population 1+2
Products
In this theoretical example of syntrophism, population 1 is able to utilize and metabolize compound A, forming compound B but cannot metabolize beyond compound B without co-operation of population 2. Population 2is unable to utilize compound A but it can metabolize compound B forming compound C. Then both population 1 and 2 are able to carry out metabolic reaction which leads to formation of end product that neither population could produce alone.
Examples of syntrophism:
i. Methanogenic ecosystem in sludge digester
Methane produced by methanogenic bacteria depends upon interspecies hydrogen transfer by other fermentative bacteria.
Anaerobic fermentative bacteria generate CO2 and H2 utilizing carbohydrates which is then utilized by methanogenic bacteria (Methanobacter) to produce methane.
ii. Lactobacillus arobinosus and Enterococcus faecalis:
In the minimal media, Lactobacillus arobinosus and Enterococcus faecalis are able to grow together but not alone.
The synergistic relationship between E. faecalis and L. arobinosus occurs in which E. faecalis require folic acid

Prairie dogs (5)
- 1. Prairie Dog Social Groups and Communication By: Peter Hill and John Cook Vertebrate Zoology Summer 2017 Lab Report C
- 2. Background Common Name: Black-tailed prairie dog Scientific name: Cynomys ludovicianus Order: Rodentia Appearance : Tan with lighter stomach and black tails, around 40 to 50 cm in length Around 0.6 to 1.4 kg Diet: Various grasses and occasionally insects
- 3. Background cont. Native Range: Grasslands and prairies of the great plains However more than 95% of original range has been lost Closest Arkansas relative: Woodchuck
- 5. Social Behavior Prairie dogs are very social and live in large colonies or towns. The towns are broken into separate neighborhoods or coterie The largest town recorded was populated by 400 million prairie dogs!
- 7. Social Behavior Each neighborhood consist of many females and single male The males are highly territorial of their group, and also the females can be during mating The yearly mating season only last 1 hour Often greet each other by ‘greet kissing’
- 8. Social behavior & Communication Within the separate neighborhoods, groups of prairie dogs share almost everything Prairie dogs play, groom, and constantly communicate with each other Prairie dogs have a complex language with many different calls
- 9. Communication video Nat Geo prairie dog overview Quick video on communication It is also suggested that prairie dog language is even more complex than thought. Some scientists believe that prairie dogs can decipher who says what, what kind of danger is present , how to react to the danger, and numerous other verbal commands .
