The wasp is one of the ugliest and deadliest insects in the world. It can grow up to 2/3 inches long with a yellow and black coloring. Females can live 12-22 days while males and queens can live longer, with queens living up to a full year. Wasps are wild and feed on living insects, nectar, fruit, and caterpillars, sucking their blood. They cannot eat solid food but sting repeatedly to inject venom from their sac into victims. They use their antennae to smell, feel, and capture prey or defend their nest. Their warning coloration is meant to deter other animals due to their dangerous nature.

The document describes several wild animals found in Africa, including lions, flamingos, hippos, crocodiles, and giraffes. Lions are brown, carnivorous kings of Africa that sleep all day. Flamingos are pink birds that eat in water and migrate annually in flocks. Hippos are large herbivorous mammals that live in water and on land. Crocodiles are carnivorous reptiles that live on land and in water and have long tails. Giraffes are tall herbivores with long necks and legs that are brown and black.

The Whooping Crane is North America's tallest bird, standing up to 5 feet tall with a 7.5 foot wingspan. It is native to Alberta and Northwest Territories in the summer and can live up to 24 years. In the 1800s, there were an estimated 10,000 Whooping Cranes but hunting and habitat loss caused the population to drop to only 22 birds by 1942. The Whooping Crane was considered endangered when its population fell below 200 but is now listed as threatened thanks to conservation efforts like the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation which helped breed, migrate, and teach the cranes at a cost of over $100,000 per bird.

Male and female house sparrows can be distinguished by their feather coloration, with males having reddish backs and black bibs and females having brown backs with stripes. Sparrows eat insects as well as seeds, berries and fruit, though they are carnivores by nature. They can fly up to 24 mph and accelerate to 31 mph when needed, and can also swim fast to escape predators. Though usually monogamous, genetic analysis shows both males and females sometimes have extramarital partners. House sparrows can live 4-5 years in the wild and are very social, living in flocks, though urban flocks sometimes move to countryside in late summer to feed on grain.
Natural Control of Asian Citrus Psyllid
Natural Control of Asian Citrus PsyllidAyanava Majumdar (Dr. A), Alabama Cooperative Extension System
General predators like lacewings, lady beetles, and spiders prey upon the Asian citrus psyllid. A eulophid wasp from Taiwan called Tamarixiaradiata has also been introduced and mass reared in Florida as a biological control agent to parasitize the psyllid. Researchers have studied using these generalist predators and the introduced Tamarixiaradiata wasp to naturally control populations of the Asian citrus psyllid.RED FOX
Project "Red Fox" was completed by student Elizaveta Rozhnova for her school No. 54 in Saratov, Russia in 2013 under the guidance of teacher E.V. Sergeeva. The 3 sentence summary describes red foxes as medium-sized omnivorous mammals that live in various habitats including forests, grasslands, mountains, and near human settlements. They hunt for food such as rabbits, birds, fruits, vegetables, fish, and frogs, and have a reddish coat with white underneath and a large bushy tail with a white tip.
River otter 2
The river otter is a dark brown, 10-30 pound mammal that lives in wetland habitats like rivers, streams, lakes, and marshes across the U.S. and Canada. It builds dens and has webbed feet that help it swim and catch prey like fish, crayfish, frogs, turtles, birds, and rabbits. Its predators include bobcats, coyotes, birds of prey, alligators, and sometimes humans who hunt it for its fur.
Wildlife extinction
Endangered species may become extinct much faster than previously thought, with some at risk of extinction within months rather than years. Habitat loss, hunting, pollution and introduction of invasive species have endangered many species worldwide. Unless action is taken to protect threatened habitats and curb human activities contributing to extinction, the world risks losing a significant percentage of its biodiversity.

1) Red foxes live alone except during mating season when they select dens made of woodchuck burrows, hollow logs, stream banks, rock piles, caves, or dense shrubs with 1-2 escape holes.
2) Litters of 1-10 pups are fed milk at first and later regurgitated meat, then live prey brought by the mother until the pups can hunt on their own at 7 months old.
3) Red foxes are omnivores that eat small mammals, birds, snakes, turtles, insects, and scavenge what is available through hunting at night or dawn mainly by stalking prey.
Red Fox Jake Frederick
The document discusses the red fox, including its habitat preferences, diet, predators, and breeding behaviors. Factors that affect red fox birth and death rates are examined, such as gestation period, litter size, causes of mortality like hunting and disease. Population sampling techniques for foxes include capture-mark-recapture. The document also covers stream quality testing and soil analysis in relation to supporting fox populations.
Hummingbirds are cool
The document discusses hummingbirds, including their habitats, diet, predators, interactions with other species, threats, role as keystone species, and lifespans. Hummingbirds live in the Americas from Alaska to Argentina, mainly in subtropical regions, with the largest diversity found in Colombia. They consume nectar and small insects, drinking by rapidly splitting their tongue and intaking half their body weight in sugar daily. Their high metabolism and heart rate make them highly active with a short average lifespan of 3-5 years. While numerous, some species face threats from habitat loss and climate change. Hummingbirds play a key role in pollination throughout their ranges.

The red squirrel is an endangered animal that lives in Europe and Asia. It is small and light with red or brown fur and a long tail. It eats nuts and seeds but is shy. Red squirrels are endangered due to habitat loss, disease, road traffic, and competition from grey squirrels, and there are only around 140,000 red squirrels remaining in the UK.
White tailed deer
White-tailed deer are herbivores that live in forests and clearings, eating plants at night. They stand 1 meter tall and 2 meters long, with reddish brown coats. Their predators include lynxes, coyotes, wolves and cougars. Females typically have 4 babies called fawns each year and the deer can run up to 60 km while sniffing the air for danger.
Endangered species
This document summarizes information about several endangered species, including the Siberian tiger, great white shark, golden eagle, African black rhino, komodo dragon, and African elephant. It provides details on their physical characteristics, population numbers, threats they face such as poaching and habitat loss, and calls the reader to help protect these species by visiting specified websites.
Wild Animals Primary
African elephants are the largest land mammals with large ears to keep cool. Their trunks are used for smelling, breathing, drinking, and grabbing food. American alligators were saved from extinction through protections and now number over one million. Anacondas are the largest snakes pound for pound due to their enormous girth. Ants are very common insects that are especially prevalent in tropical forests. Black bears are opportunistic eaters found in many habitats across North America. Blue whales are the largest animals ever and rule the oceans by gulping enormous amounts of water and feeding alone or in pairs.
Red Fox by Kevin
Red foxes prefer habitats with a mix of farms, meadows, brush, and woods, but also live in urban areas like cemeteries, parks, and airports. They have a pointed snout, red-brown fur on their back, a long bushy tail with a white tip, and sharp curved claws to hunt small animals like mice, rabbits, and squirrels for food. Red foxes use their large ears to hear their mates and have red and brown fur covering their body with black legs and skinny lower legs.
Biodiversity of Red Fox
The document summarizes information about the red fox (Vulpes vulpes). It describes the red fox's distribution worldwide and in India. It is found across the Northern Hemisphere and is considered invasive in some areas. In India it is found in the Himalayas, Trans-Himalayas, and parts of Rajasthan and Gujarat. The document also outlines the red fox's physical characteristics, habitat, diet, hunting techniques, sub-species variations, reproduction, fur use, and evolution. It is listed as a least concerned species by the IUCN due to its ability to adapt.
Invasive species
The document describes 6 different invasive species, including the killer algae Caulerpa taxifolia, Nile perch fish, killer bee, cane toad, Formosan subterranean termite, and European starling bird. Each species is identified by its alien name, common name, type (plant, fish, insect, amphibian, etc.), and the cause of its invasion is listed as human mistake, introduction, or activity.
12 4 Problem Wildlife
The document defines nuisance wildlife as invasive animals that can displace native species or animals that conflict with humans and cause property damage or disease. It lists specific mammal, bird, and fish species considered nuisance in Virginia, including coyotes, nutria, European starlings, and feral hogs. These nuisance species are adaptable, not dependent on specific foods, and generally pose low risks to human health and safety. Their status can change based on how tolerant humans are as populations grow. Coyotes in Virginia are considered a nuisance species with a growing population.

Bats in Yolo County have both pros and cons - while they eat insects that harm crops, they sometimes carry rabies and invade homes. Overall, bats are an important part of the ecosystem as natural pest control for farmers. The local bats, known as Mexican free-tailed bats, have adapted to ingest pesticides from treated crops as part of their diet. Wild turkeys, once reintroduced far from farms, established wild populations in parts of North America. Male wild turkeys do not assist with parenting duties; females raise the chicks. Aspen trees, a favorite in the Tahoe Basin due to their sounds, are relatively short-lived but grow quickly, making them suitable for landscaping. Their bark

The document summarizes several animals that are now extinct, including the Tasmanian tiger-wolf, Dodo bird, Passenger pigeon, Quagga, Carolina Parakeet, Bubal Hartebeest. It notes that the Tasmanian tiger-wolf went extinct in 1936 due to human activities. The Dodo bird became extinct by the late 17th century due to hunting, habitat loss and competition from introduced animals. Billions of Passenger pigeons existed in North America but unregulated hunting and habitat loss caused their extinction. The last Quagga died in captivity in 1883 after being hunted for its meat and hides. The Carolina Parakeet disappeared in the early 20th century due

The document discusses different types of wildlife categorized by their environmental habitat groups - mammals, birds, invertebrates, reptiles, fish, and amphibians. It also lists examples of animals that fall under each category. The different natural habitats that wildlife can be found in are described as land environments like jungles, forests, and mountains, as well as water environments such as ponds, rivers, lakes, and oceans.
Endangered rhino by Jovana
Rhino populations have drastically declined over the past century from 500,000 to just 29,000 today due to poaching and habitat loss. The Javan and Sumatran rhino species in Asia are critically endangered with fewer than 100 Sumatran rhinos remaining in the wild. While the Southern white rhino population has increased to over 20,000, only five Northern white rhinos remain. Black rhinos are also critically endangered with just over 5,000 in the wild. Poaching for rhino horn, which is valued in Asian medicine, is the most pressing threat along with habitat loss and political conflicts. Conservation efforts are ongoing but rhino populations remain in danger.

My+name+is+davy+lowston sj+l2,+may+2016 (1)
This document is a story told from the perspective of Davy Lowston, one of the men who were shipwrecked on the Open Bay Islands off New Zealand's coast in 1810. Lowston and nine other men were left on the islands to hunt seals, but the ship that was meant to retrieve them was lost in a storm. The men were stranded for over three years, suffering hardship from lack of food and shelter, before finally being rescued. Their story became immortalized in a folk song that spread among whalers and sailors, becoming New Zealand's oldest folk song known as "Davy Lowston."
Ugly
Chris sees that the kākāpō parrot from New Zealand has been listed as one of the world's ugliest animals. He thinks this is unfair and starts a petition at school to have the kākāpō removed from the list. Many students sign the petition. Chris later learns that the purpose of the "Ugliest Animals" list was actually to raise awareness about endangered species, not just beautiful ones like pandas. While the kākāpō's inclusion was meant to draw attention to it, other students become interested in the other unusual animals on the list as well.
Reading Eggs - Turtle, Wombat poems
The poem "The Little Turtle" by Vachel Lindsay is about a turtle that lives in a box and swims in a puddle. It snaps at and catches a mosquito, flea, and minnow, but does not catch the speaker. The poem has 4 stanzas with rhyming lines and describes the actions of the turtle.
Bda question sheet
This document is an activity sheet for before, during, and after reading a text.

Rising seas
Oceans cover most of the Earth's surface and contain nearly all of its water. Sea levels are rising at about 10 times the rate over the past 3,000 years due to global warming, which is causing oceans to increase in size. Rising sea levels threaten coastal areas through increased erosion, flooding, and damage from storms. Scientists project that by 2100, sea levels could be 0.8 to 2 meters higher than current levels without action to address climate change.
Giving the ocean a voice
The crew of seven voyaging canoes observed the health of the Pacific Ocean over two years. Teone Sciascia sailed on the waka Haunui from Fiji to the Solomon Islands. He observed plastic rubbish and bits of wood floating far from land, indicating pollution problems. Near islands, he saw more trash and dead sharks floating at sea. The observations from the fleet suggest the ocean's health is declining and immediate changes are needed to protect it.
Vocab Square
This document provides a template for students to complete a vocabulary four square activity, where they write a definition of a word, use it in a sentence, write a synonym for the word, and draw a picture of the word.
Treasures from the sea
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive functioning. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms.
The tsunami that washed time away
Scientists James Goff and Scott Nichol sought to explain how pebbles from the ocean floor ended up on cliff tops at Henderson Bay. Through examining evidence such as the rounded shape of pebbles, oral histories of tsunamis, and layers in a core sample from a nearby swamp, they determined that a massive tsunami caused by the underwater Healy volcano around 1450 AD washed the pebbles inland and destroyed Māori villages along the coast. The scientists' study of this event provided insights into New Zealand's geological history and the forces that have shaped the landscape.
Seven foolish fishermen

Rising seas
Oceans cover most of the Earth's surface and contain nearly all of its water. Sea levels are rising at about 10 times the rate over the past 3,000 years due to global warming. As a result, coastal areas are experiencing problems like erosion and damage from higher tides and stronger storms. Scientists predict that by 2100, sea levels could be 0.8 to 2 meters higher than today if warming continues unabated.
Nobody laughed
Aiden was worried about bringing his secret favorite thing to school because he thought his classmates would laugh at him. However, on the first day back, he discovered that all the students had the same bright green bag from the Bigbarn store. Later, when the bags got mixed up, the teacher had each student open their bag to identify the owner. Surprisingly, no one laughed at the unusual items found in the bags, including a large bone, a dead frog, and a tea bag. When Aiden opened his bag to reveal his own secret item, again nobody laughed.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI support
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex Proofs
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).
