title: "Dalea purpurea" content: Dalea purpurea Dalea purpurea is a species of flowering plant in the legume family known by the common name purple prairie clover, better written as "prairie-clover," in recognition of the fact that it is not a true clover (genus "Trifolium"). It is native to central North America, where it occurs from central Canada to the southeastern and southwestern United States, except for the east and west coasts. It is a common and widespread plant within its range, especially on the Great Plains. In 1804, Meriwether Lewis collected a specimen in Nebraska. "Dalea purpurea" is a perennial herb growing tall. The


title: "Dalea purpurea" content: mature plant has a large taproot deep. The stem is woody with several branches. The leaves are a few centimeters long and are divided into 3 to 7 narrow leaflets. The inflorescence atop each stem branch is a spike up to long containing many purple flowers. The fruit is a legume pod containing 1 or 2 seeds. This plant is adapted to a habitat with periodic wildfires. In some areas, it depends on fire to clear encroaching woody vegetation, as it cannot tolerate shade. "Dalea purpurea" is a common member of the flora on the plains of central North America,


title: "Dalea purpurea" content: occurring in a variety of habitat types, including several types of grassland. It occurs in glades, riverbanks and floodplains, oak woodlands, pinyon-juniper woodlands, shrubsteppe, many types of forests, and the Sand Hills of Nebraska. It occurs in a variety of prairie ecosystems. On tallgrass prairie it is associated with plants such as little bluestem ("Schizachyrium scoparium"), big bluestem ("Andropogon gerardi"), prairie Junegrass ("Koeleria macrantha"), prairie dropseed ("Sporobolus heterolepis"), lead plant ("Amorpha canescens"), and silky aster ("Symphyotrichum sericeum"). On midgrass prairie it grows alongside several grasses such as silver bluestem ("Bothriochloa saccharoides"), purple threeawn ("Aristida purpurea"), sideoats grama ("Bouteloua curtipendula"), and


title: "Dalea purpurea" content: sand dropseed ("Sporobolus cryptandrus"). On shortgrass prairie it is associated with grasses such as blue grama ("Bouteloua gracilis"), hairy grama ("B. hirsuta"), and buffalo grass ("B. dactyloides"). This species may be considered an indicator of pristine prairie. The nectar and pollen of "Dalea purpurea" attract many bees, wasps, flies, butterflies, and skippers. Several plasterer bees (genus "Colletes") are specialist pollinators of "Dalea" species, and other insects eat the seeds and leaves. This species is used for revegetation efforts on reclaimed land, such as land that has been strip mined. It is good for preventing erosion and for fixing nitrogen in


title: "Dalea purpurea" content: soil. Though it is often found in mid- to late-successional stages of ecological succession, it may also be a pioneer species, taking hold in bare and disturbed habitat, such as roadsides. Purple prairie clover provides food for a number of animals, such as pronghorn. It also grows in cultivated fields and becomes included in hay for livestock. It is nutritious and is "considered one of the most important legumes in native grasslands on the Great Plains." It also had a number of uses for Native Americans. The leaves are edible and good for making tea and medicines, and the roots


title: "Dalea purpurea" content: are palatable when chewed. The stems were used as brooms by the Pawnee people. "Dalea purpurea" has been found to contain several active constituents, including pawhuskin A, pawhuskin B, pawhuskin C, and petalostemumol. The pawhuskins possess affinity for the opioid receptors, and pawhuskin A, by far the most potent of the group, acts as a non-selective antagonist of all three opioid receptors, with preference for the κ- and μ-opioid receptors over the δ-opioid receptor.

In this type of competitive market, blacks and whites were pitted against each other by ship owners in an effort to keep wages down: if whites would not work for a lower wage, owners would look to blacks who would. Following this reasoning, "[o]nly control of the labor supply and solidarity across trade and racial lines could reduce this possibility. That meant that alliances between unions and, most importantly, between black and white unions, were essential to reducing competition between different groups for jobs."

title: "Brown thrasher" content: Brown thrasher The brown thrasher ("Toxostoma rufum") is a bird in the family Mimidae, which also includes the New World catbirds and mockingbirds. The dispersal of the brown thrasher is abundant throughout the eastern and central United States, southern and central Canada, and is the only thrasher to live primarily east of the Rockies and central Texas. It is the state bird of Georgia. As a member of the genus "Toxostoma", the bird is a large-sized thrasher. It has brown upper parts with a white under part with dark streaks. Because of this, it is often confused with the smaller


title: "Brown thrasher" content: wood thrush ("Hylocichla mustelina"), among other species. The brown thrasher is noted for having over 1000 song types, and the largest song repertoire of birds. However, each note is usually repeated in two or three phrases. The brown thrasher is an omnivore, with its diet ranging from insects to fruits and nuts. The usual nesting areas are shrubs, small trees, or at times on ground level. Brown thrashers are generally inconspicuous but territorial birds, especially when defending their nests, and will attack species as large as humans. The brown thrasher was originally described by Linnaeus in his 18th century work


title: "Brown thrasher" content: "Systema Naturae" as "Turdus rufus". The genus name "Toxostoma" comes from the Ancient Greek "toxon", "bow" or "arch" and "stoma", "mouth". The specific "rufum" is Latin for "red", but covers a wider range of hues than the English term. Although not in the thrush family, this bird is sometimes erroneously called the brown thrush. The name misconception could be because the word "thrasher" is believed to derive from the word "thrush". The naturalist Mark Catesby called it the fox-coloured thrush. Genetic studies have found that the brown thrasher is most closely related to the long-billed and Cozumel thrashers ("T. longirostre"


title: "Brown thrasher" content: & "guttatum"), within the genus "Toxostoma". The brown thrasher is bright reddish-brown above with thin, dark streaks on its buffy underparts. It has a whitish-colored chest with distinguished teardrop-shaped markings on its chest. Its long, rufous tail is rounded with paler corners, and eyes are a brilliant yellow. Its bill is brownish, long, and curves downward. Both male and females are similar in appearance. The juvenile appearance of the brown thrasher from the adult is not remarkably different, except for plumage texture, indiscreet upper part markings, and the irises having an olive color. The brown thrasher is a fairly large


title: "Brown thrasher" content: passerine, although it is generally moderate in size for a thrasher, being distinctly larger than the sage thrasher ("Oreoscoptes montanus") but similar or somewhat smaller in size than the more brownish "Toxostoma" species found further west. Adults measure around long with a wingspan of , and weigh , with an average of . Among standard measurements, the wing chord is , the tail is , the culmen is and the tarsus is . There are two subspecies: the 'brown thrasher' ("T. rufum rufum"), which lies in the eastern half of Canada and the United States, and the 'western brown thrasher'


title: "Brown thrasher" content: ("T. rufum longicauda" (Baird, 1858)), which resides in the central United States east of the Rocky Mountains and southern central Canada. The western brown thrasher is distinguished by a more cinnamon upper part, whiter wing bars, and darker breast spots than "T.rufum rufum". The lifespan of the brown thrasher depends on a year-to-year basis, as the rate of survival the first year is 35%, 50% in between the second and third year, and 75% between the third and fourth year. Disease and exposure to cold weather are among contributing factors for the limits of the lifespan. However, the longest lived


title: "Brown thrasher" content: thrasher in the wild is 12 years, and relatively the same for ones in captivity. The similar-looking long-billed thrasher has a significantly smaller range. It has a gray head and neck, and has a longer bill than the brown thrasher. The brown thrasher's appearance is also strikingly similar to the wood thrush, the bird that it is usually mistaken for. However, the wood thrush has dark spots on its under parts rather than the brown thrashers' streaks, has dark eyes, shorter tail, and is a smaller bird. The brown thrasher resides in various habitats. It prefers to live in woodland


title: "Brown thrasher" content: edges, thickets and dense brush, often searching for food in dry leaves on the ground. It can also inhabit areas that are agricultural and near suburban areas, but is less likely to live near housing than other bird species. The brown thrasher often vies for habitat and potential nesting grounds with other birds, which is usually initiated by the males. The brown thrasher is a strong, but partial migrant, as the bird is a year-round resident in the southern portion of its range. The breeding range includes the United States and Canada east of the Rocky Mountains, but has been


title: "Brown thrasher" content: occasionally spotted West of the Rockies. The increase in trees throughout the Great Plains during the past century due to fire suppression and tree planting facilitated a westward range expansion of the brown thrasher as well as range expansions of many other species of birds. Studies indicate that thrashers that reside in the New England region of the United States during the breeding season fly toward the Carolinas and Georgia, birds located in the east of the Mississippi winter from Arkansas to Georgia, and birds located in the Dakotas and the central Canadian provinces head towards eastern Texas and Louisiana.


title: "Brown thrasher" content: When the species does migrate, it is typically for short distances and during the night. There are also records of the bird wintering in Mexico, as well as a British record of a transatlantic vagrant. The brown thrasher has been observed either solo or in pairs. The brown thrasher is usually an elusive bird, and maintains its evasiveness with low-level flying. When it feels bothered, it usually hides into thickets and gives cackling calls. Thrashers spend most of their time on ground level or near it. When seen, it is commonly the males that are singing from unadorned branches. The


title: "Brown thrasher" content: brown thrasher has been noted for having an aggressive behavior, and is a staunch defender of its nest. However, the name does not come from attacking perceived threats, but is believed to have come from the thrashing sound the bird makes when digging through ground debris. It is also thought that the name comes from the thrashing sound that is made while it is smashing large insects to kill and eventually eat. This bird is omnivorous, which has a diet that includes insects, berries, nuts and seeds, as well as earthworms, snails, and sometimes lizards and frogs. Across seasons and


title: "Brown thrasher" content: its breeding range, it was found 63% of stomach contents were made of animal matter, the remaining 37% being plant material. During the breeding season, the diet consists primarily of beetles, grasshoppers, and other arthropods, and fruits, nuts and seeds. More than 80% of the diet of brown thrasher from Illinois is made of animal matter, about 50% being beetles. In Iowa, about 20% of the summer diet was found to consist of grasshoppers. By the late summer, it begins to shift towards more of a herbivore diet, focusing on fruits, nuts, seeds, and grains, 60% of the food in


title: "Brown thrasher" content: Illinois being fruits and seeds. By winter, the customary diet of the brown thrasher is fruit and acorns. Wintering birds in Texas were found to eat 58% plant material (mainly sugar berry and poison ivy) and 42% animal material in October; by March, in the dry period when food supply is generally lower, 80% of the food became animal and only 20% plants. Vertebrates are only eaten occasionally and are often comprised by small reptiles and amphibians, such as lizards, small or young snakes, tree frogs and salamanders. The brown thrasher utilizes its vision while scouring for food. It usually


title: "Brown thrasher" content: forages for food under leaves, brushes, and soil debris on the ground using its bill. It then swipes the floor in side-to-side motions, and investigates the area it recently foraged in. The brown thrasher forages in a similar method to the Long-billed thrasher and Bendire's thrasher ("T. longirostre" & "bendirei"), picking food off the ground and under leaf litter, whereas thrashers with sharply decurved bills are more likely to dig into the ground to obtain food. Foraging success is 25% greater in dry leaf litter as compared to damp leaf letter. The brown thrasher can also hammer nuts such as


title: "Brown thrasher" content: acorns in order to remove the shell. It has also been noted for its flexibility in catching quick insects, as the amount of vertebrae in its neck exceeds giraffes and camels. In one case, a brown thrasher was observed to dig a hole about deep, place an acorn in it and hit the acorn until it cracked, considered to be a form of tool usage. In a laboratory experiment, a brown thrasher was found to be able to discern and reject the toxic eastern newt ("Notophthalmus viridescens") and a palatable mimic of that species, the red salamander ("Pseudotriton ruber"), but


title: "Brown thrasher" content: continued to eat palatable dusky salamanders ("Desmognathus" spp.). Brown thrashers are typically monogamous birds, but mate-switching does occur, at times during the same season. Their breeding season varies by region. In the southeastern United States, the breeding months begin in February and March, while May and June see the commencement of breeding in the northern portion of their breeding range. When males enter the breeding grounds, their territory can range from . Around this time of the year the males are usually at their most active, singing blaringly to attract potential mates, and are found on top of perches. The


title: "Brown thrasher" content: courting ritual involves the exchanging of probable nesting material. Males will sing gentler as they sight a female, and this enacts the female to grab a twig or leaf and present it to the male, with flapping wings and chirping sounds. The males might also present a gift in response and approach the female. Both sexes will take part in nest building once mates find each other, and will mate after the nest is completed. The female lays 3 to 5 eggs, that usually appears with a blueish or greenish tint along with reddish-brown spots. There are rare occurrences of


title: "Brown thrasher" content: no spots on the eggs. The nest is built twiggy, lined with grass, leaves, and other forms of dead vegetation. The nests are typically built in a dense shrub or low in a tree, usually up to high, but have built nests as high as . They also on occasion build nests on the ground. Between eleven days to two weeks, the eggs hatch. Both parents incubate and feed the young, with the female doing most of the incubating. Nine to thirteen days after hatching, the nestlings begin to fledge. These birds raise two, sometimes even three, broods in a


title: "Brown thrasher" content: year. The male sings a series of short repeated melodious phrases from an open perch to declare his territory, and is also very aggressive in defending the nest, known to strike people and animals. The male brown thrasher may have the largest song repertoire of any North American bird, which has been documented at least over 1,100. Some sources state that each individual has up to 3,000 song phrases, while others stated beyond 3,000. The males' singing voice usually contains more of a melodic tone than that of the related grey catbird. Its song are coherent phrases that are iterated


title: "Brown thrasher" content: no more than three times, but has been done for minutes at a time. By the fall, the male sings with smoother sub-songs. During the winter, the males may also sing in short spurts during altercations with neighboring males. In the birds' youth, "alarm noises" are the sounds made. As an adult, the brown thrasher has an array of sounds it will make in various situations. Both male and females make "smack" and "teeooo"-like alarm calls when provoked, and "hijjj" sounds at dusk and dawn. Others calls may consist of an acute, sudden "chakk", "rrrrr", a "Tcheh" sound in the


title: "Brown thrasher" content: beginning that ends with an "eeeur", "kakaka", and sounds reminiscent of a stick scraping a concrete sidewalk. Brown thrashers are noted for their mimicry (as a member of the family "Mimidae"), but they are not as diverse in this category as their relative the northern mockingbird. However, during the breeding season, the mimicking ability of the male is at its best display, impersonating sounds from tufted titmice ("Baeolophus bicolor"), northern cardinals ("Cardinalis cardinalis"), wood thrushes, northern flickers ("Colaptes auratus"), among other species. Although this bird is widespread and still common, it has declined in numbers in some areas due to


title: "Brown thrasher" content: loss of suitable habitat. Despite the decrease, the rate does not warrant a status towards vulnerable. One of the natural nuisances is the parasitic brown-headed cowbird ("Molothrus ater"), but these incidents are rare. Whenever these situations occur, the brown thrashers usually discard of the cowbirds' eggs. Occasionally, the thrasher has thrown out their own eggs instead of the cowbird eggs due to similar egg size, and at least one recorded event raised a fledgling. Northern cardinals and grey catbirds are also major competitors for thrashers in terms of territorial gain. Because of the apparent lack of opportunistic behavior around species


title: "Brown thrasher" content: like these, thrashers are prone to be driven out of zones for territory competition. Brown thrashers have tendencies to double-brood or have failures on their first nesting attempts due to predation. Grey catbirds have been seen invading brown thrashers' nests and breaking their eggs. Other than the catbird, snakes, birds of prey, and cats are among the top predators of the thrasher. In Kansas, at least eight species of snake were identifieid as potentially serious sources of nest failure. Among the identified avian predators of adults are Cooper's hawks ("Accipiter cooperii"), northern goshawk ("Accipiter gentilis"), broad-winged hawks ("Buteo platypterus"), merlins


title: "Brown thrasher" content: ("Falco columbarius"), peregrine falcons ("Falco peregrinus"), eastern screech-owls ("Megascops asio"), great horned owls ("Bubo virginianus") barred owls ("Strix varia") and long-eared owls ("Asio otus"). The brown thrasher methods of defending itself include using its bill, which can inflict significant damage to species smaller than it, along with wing-flapping and vocal expressions. The brown thrasher is the state bird of Georgia. The brown thrasher also was the inspiration for the name of Atlanta's former National Hockey League team, the Atlanta Thrashers.

The sculptors Ernst Rietschel and Ernst Julius Hähnel from Dresden completed the outer decoration of the building. While the northern facade towards the Theater Square displays antique themes, the southern facade contains paintings with religious themes. Until the Second World War, the Semper Gallery housed not only the painting collection, by now

title: "Oxalis montana" content: Oxalis montana Oxalis montana is a species of flowering plant in the Oxalidaceae family known by the common names mountain woodsorrel, wood shamrock, sours and white woodsorrel. It may also be called common woodsorrel, though this name also applies to its close relative, "Oxalis acetosella". This species is native to eastern North America, including eastern Canada and the north-central and eastern United States, and Appalachian Mountains. The Latin specific epithet "montana" refers to mountains or coming from mountains. "Oxalis montana" is a perennial herb which grows in patches connected by subterranean rhizomes. There are no stems, just clumps of leaves


title: "Oxalis montana" content: growing to about in maximum height. The leaves are each made up of three heart-shaped leaflets. The leaflets move, folding and unfolding, in response to sunlight. There are two types of flowers, blooms that open and cleistogamous flowers that remain closed and self-pollinate. The flower color is variable. Environmental factors may cause variation; flowers growing at higher elevations have less color in the veins on the petals, while the veins of those at lower elevations have a deeper pink-purple coloration. The fruit is a capsule. The plant reproduces sexually by seed and asexually by sprouting large colonies from the rhizome.


title: "Oxalis montana" content: Some populations produce no flowers in a given season and reproduce only vegetatively. This plant is a climax species, occurring in mature forests and tolerant of shade. It is a dominant herb in a number of ecosystems, such as the forests of the Appalachian Mountains. It occurs there in the understory of red spruce ("Picea rubens") and balsam or Fraser fir ("Abies balsamea" or "A. fraseri"). It is also dominant in northern hardwood forest habitat and its ecotones, in the understory of red or sugar maple ("Acer rubrum" or "A. saccharum"), yellow birch ("Betula lutea"), and American beech ("Fagus grandifolia").


title: "Oxalis montana" content: Other dominant understory species growing with it include false lily-of-the-valley ("Maianthemum canadense"), goldthread ("Coptis groenlandica"), starflower ("Trientalis borealis"), and woodferns ("Dryopteris" spp.).
