For example, the Calmeadow Foundation tested an analogous 'peer lending' model in three locations in Canada: rural Nova Scotia and urban Toronto and Vancouver during the 1990s. It concluded that a variety of factors – including difficulties in reaching the target market, the high risk profile of clients, their general distaste for the joint liability requirement, and high overhead costs – made solidarity lending unviable without subsidies. However, debates have continued about whether the required subsidies may be justified as an alternative to other subsidies targeted to the entrepreneurial poor, and VanCity Credit Union, which took over Calmeadow's

The genus name is derived from the Ancient Greek "ptuon" (πτύον), "a fan", referring to the shape of the opened tail, and Procne (Πρόκνη), a mythological girl who was turned into a swallow. The specific name "obsoleta" means "worn" in Latin. The "Ptyonoprogne" species are members of the swallow family of birds, and are classed as members of the Hirundininae subfamily, which comprises all swallows and martins except the very distinctive river martins. DNA sequence studies suggest that there are three major groupings within the Hirundininae, broadly correlating with the type of nest built.

"C. promethea" is classified as a silk moth, which stems from its ability to produce silk, which it does in the formation of its cocoon. "C. promethea" lives in forests in the eastern U.S. and does not damage the trees on which it lives. The species was first described by Dru Drury in 1773. "C.

It then emerges and mates during a specific time of day. The females utilize pheromones to attract males for mating, with both sexes mating multiple times. They are the only moth in their family where the sexes are not active at the same time of day, with males being diurnal and females being nocturnal. They only overlap in activity for a few hours in the early evening. The males use mimicry of the poisonous pipe vine swallowtail butterfly as a form

"C. promethea" is found in deciduous forests. "C. promethea" utilizes multiple plant families as their hosts, including Rosaceae, Oleaceae and Lauraceae. There is no negative effect to "C. promethea" larvae being raised on a host plant different from the one that their parents were raised on, for the specific host plants tested in the study. The nutritional content of the individual host plant matters more to the health of the larvae than feeding on

Some examples of common host plants are the tulip tree ("Liriodendron tulipifera"), sassafras ("Sassafrass albidum") and spicebush ("Lindera benzoin"). "C. promethea" does not consume any food in its adult stage. Female promethea silkmoths lay their eggs on the leaves of the host plants of the caterpillars. The eggs are laid at night. A female's eggs are laid in groups of 4 to 10 at a time. Eggs are white, flat and elliptical. Once the caterpillars hatch, they are fairly solitary. They eat leaves from the edge inwards. The caterpillars eat from several host plants. Caterpillars


title: "Callosamia promethea" content: begin as yellow with black stripes, but become blue green over time. Once they are blue green, they develop four red and one yellow protuberances. These caterpillars go through several instars or skin shedding, and usually after the fifth shedding the caterpillar is ready to form a cocoon. When the caterpillars form cocoons, they are twice as long as they are wide. Some caterpillars in the family Saturniidae will pupate in the ground. However, promethea silkmoth caterpillars pupate in trees. The caterpillars attach themselves directly to the branches of trees with their silk. Then, they curl a dead leaf around

Males are darkly pigmented, while females are more brightly colored. The males and females both have tan on the edges of their wings. The males have a set of eyespots on their forewings, but the females have spots on all their wings. In the northern part of the promethea silkmoth's range, there is one brood per year and it occurs during the early summer. In the southern part of the moth’s range, there are two broods,


title: "Callosamia promethea" content: with one occurring in the spring and the other occurring in late summer. The location of the "C. promethea" cocoon typically provides the pupae with sufficient protection from possible predators. The cocoons hang from thin branches and are difficult to open, so mice may have difficulty predating because the branches are too thin to hold their weight and woodpeckers could have trouble opening the pupa. Other predators of the cocoons include some flies and wasps. "C. promethea" utilizes Batesian mimicry, in which an edible species mimics a toxic species as a form of protection from predators. Promethea silkmoth females are

Promethea silkmoth males mimic the pipe vine swallowtail ("Battus philenor"), a poisonous butterfly. The topside of the wings of promethea silkmoth males is black, as are the wings of the pipe vine swallowtails, which also have a shiny blue pattern on the top surface of their wings. The promethea silkmoth males do not have this reflective blue pattern, but their mimicry is still effective due to the fact that the blue reflective pattern is only visible on pipe vine swallowtails in a certain light, so the blue is not

Promethea silkmoth males were painted with various patterns, then released, and the amount of each group that was recaptured showed that mimicry helped the moths survive. The control group was painted black, to match their actual coloration. One experimental group was painted black and yellow to mimic the tiger swallowtail ("Papilio glaucus"), which is not a poisonous butterfly and does not mimic the poisonous pipe vine swallowtail. The other experimental group was painted with orange stripes to mimic the poisonous monarch butterfly. The two


title: "Callosamia promethea" content: groups that were painted to be mimetic to a poisonous butterfly both were recaptured more than the group painted to match an edible butterfly. This shows that mimicry, specifically the partial mimic of promethea silkmoth males to pipe vine swallowtails, is adequate protection against predation. Female promethea silkmoths release pheromones to attract males. The females remain in place, camouflaged, as they wait for the males to sense their pheromones and come to them. Females release their pheromones at a specific time of day called the "calling time". For "C. promethea" this time is late afternoon and into the early evening.


title: "Callosamia promethea" content: When males sense the pheromones of a female they travel up the gradient of the pheromones and towards the female. Males are able locate females from miles away. One "C. promethea" male has been found to be able to detect and find a female from 23 miles away. A distance this long is likely to be covered in multiple days. In terms of locating mates, males cannot find females unless they release pheromones, so the females control how frequently they mate. When females do send out their pheromones, the first male to reach a female will mate with her. "C.

They are the only moth in the family Saturniidae known to be polyandrous. This is likely because "C. promethea" is the only moth that is both diurnal (males) and nocturnal (females). This allows for egg laying and mating to occur at different times of day, so there is no trade off between the two activities. Male butterflies are polygamous, as well. Polyandrous females are more fecund, due to laying more eggs. A female's eggs are mostly

For example: wetland loss, habitat fragmentation, pollution, collecting of turtles for pets, food or other trophies, competition with the invasive red-eared slider turtle for food, habitat, basking sites or nesting sites, and the potential for hybridization with red-eared slider turtles. The Massachusetts wildlife preserve foundation has started to repopulate the turtles by placing them in many south-eastern Massachusetts ponds. One example is at Long and Little Long Pond in Plymouth, Massachusetts, where the population is starting to regrow. Northern red-bellied

It is found in Andorra, Croatia, France, Germany, Italy, Monaco, Serbia, Slovenia, Spain, Switzerland, on Jersey in the British Isles, and the United States. There are also colonies on the south coast of the U.K, notably around Poole Bay in Dorset. "Lacerta bilineata" reaches an average length (excluding tail) of


title: "Western green lizard" content: about , with a maximum of , including tail. The tail may reach up to twice the body length. The average weight is about 35 grams. The body is bright green. The head is bigger in males than in females, and the males often show a blue throat. Juveniles are almost brown, with a yellowish belly and two to four pale, longitudinal lines along the flanks. Sub-adults also have these lines, together with several small brown spots on their backs. These lizards are territorial animals. They feed on arthropods, mainly large insects. They attain sexual maturity at around two years,


title: "Western green lizard" content: when they are about 8 cm long (excluding tail). The males fight each other, especially during the mating period, when they are very aggressive towards rivals. The mating ritual is precise, and starts with a bite to the base of the female's tail. The females lay 6 to 25 eggs in a humid and warm site, such as in a decomposing log. The average life span of this species is about 15 years. Its natural habitats are green humid areas, temperate forest, the edges of woods, shrubland, open grassland, arable land, and pastureland. It is threatened by habitat loss. Western


title: "Two-striped garter snake" content: Two-striped garter snake The two-striped garter snake ("Thamnophis hammondii" ) is a species of aquatic garter snake, which is endemic to western North America. The specific name, "hammondii", is in honor of William A. Hammond, the U.S. Army surgeon who collected the first specimens. T. hammondii is a medium-sized snake, 18-30 inches in total length (including tail), with a head barely wider than the neck. Two common color variations occur in the wild, a striped variant and a checkered variant. The striped variant has a yellowish lateral stripe on each side, and a fairly uniform dorsal coloring. The checkered variant

title: "Southwestern snake-necked turtle" content: However, in 2013 the ICZN handed down its Opinion on the issue where they deemed that the Principle of Priority should be followed. As such the correct name for the Northern snake-necked turtle is "Chelodina oblonga" and for the South-western snake-necked turtle is "Chelodina colliei". This has required considerable effort over the ensuing 12 months to establish this correct nomenclature. As part of this it is now seen as less than desirable to continue using the name Oblong Turtle for the South-western snake-necked turtle, since it is based on the scientific name of another species.

It is sometimes considered a subspecies of the black-winged stilt ("H. himantopus"). This shorebird has been recorded in Malaysia, Japan, the Philippines, Brunei, Christmas Island, Indonesia, Palau, Papua New Guinea, Australia, and New Zealand. John Gould described the pied stilt in 1837. Its species name is derived from the Ancient Greek words "leukos" "white" and "kephale" "head". "Pied stilt" has been designated the official name by the International Ornithologists' Union (IOC). The pied stilt grows to a length of about


title: "Pied stilt" content: with a wingspan of about . The back of the head and neck, the back and the upper surfaces of the wings are glossy greenish-black. The undersides of the wings are plain black and the remainder of the plumage is white, apart from the tail feathers which are tinged with grey. The long, thin legs are pink and the toes have black claws. The long slender beak is black and the irises and the eyelids are red.

It is gregarious, and in New Zealand sometimes forms mixed flocks with the black stilt ("Himantopus novaezelandiae"), a bird now critically endangered. It feeds largely on aquatic insects and on small molluscs. It emits a repeated yelping cry as it flies, and the legs trail behind it, tending to sway from


title: "Pied stilt" content: side-to-side. The pied stilt breeds in the spring, choosing as a nesting site an area of sand or shingle by an estuary, beside a dried up riverbed, on a flat bit of coast or in a grassy field near the sea. It seems particularly attracted to locations near where the red duck-weed ("Azolla rubra") flourishes. It prepares a nest in a shallow depression or in a scrape in the ground where it usually lays four, ovoido-conical eggs. These are yellowish-brown dappled irregularly with dark blotches and spots. The nest is difficult to find as the eggs are well-camouflaged. But the


title: "Pied stilt" content: parent birds give away the presence of the nest by mounting into the air and flying in circles, uttering distress cries. The chicks are able to leave the nest almost as soon as they have hatched. They are difficult to detect because their downy plumage is well-camouflaged and they "freeze" when alarmed. A parent bird sometimes feigns a leg injury to draw intruders away from its chicks. The pied stilt is widely distributed with a large total population size and apparently stable population trend. It is listed as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List. Pied stilt The pied stilt

The flowers of this vine were imagined to have the shape of human female genitals, hence the Latin name of the genus ""Clitoria"", from "clitoris". (Synonyms: "Clitoris principissae".). This plant is native to tropical equatorial Asia Thailand and Malaysia, but has been introduced to Africa, Australia and America. It is a perennial herbaceous plant, with elliptic, obtuse leaves. It grows as a vine or creeper, doing well in moist, neutral soil. The


title: "Clitoria ternatea" content: most striking feature about this plant is the color of its flowers, a vivid deep blue; solitary, with light yellow markings. They are about long by wide. Some varieties yield white flowers. The fruits are long, flat pods with six to ten seeds in each pod. They are edible when tender. It is grown as an ornamental plant and as a revegetation species (e.g., in coal mines in Australia), requiring little care when cultivated. As a legume, its roots form a symbiotic association with soil bacteria known as rhizobia, which transform atmospheric N into a plant-usable form (a process called

One example of this is the Australian product "Ink Gin", whose lustrous blue color is generated by an infusion of the flower, changing to blush pink when mixed. As organic colours are not permanent, this type of gin is recommended to be stored in a dark place to maintain the effect. In traditional Ayurvedic medicine, it is ascribed various qualities including memory enhancing, nootropic, antistress, anxiolytic, antidepressant, anticonvulsant, tranquilizing, and sedative properties. In traditional Chinese medicine, the plant has

title: "Northern map turtle" content: Northern map turtle The northern map turtle ("Graptemys geographica"), or common map turtle, is an aquatic turtle in the family Emydidae. It is endemic to North America. The northern map turtle gets both its common and scientific names from the marking on the skin and carapace. The light markings resemble contour lines on a map or chart. The lines on the carapace are shades of yellow, tan, or orange and are surrounded by dark borders. The rest of the carapace is olive or greyish brown. The carapace markings on older individuals tend to fade but are usually still apparent when


title: "Northern map turtle" content: the shell is wet. The carapace has a hydrodynamic appearance and is broad with a moderately low keel. The rear of the carapace is flared and the rear marginals form serrations. The plastron is yellowish and is marked by a central dark blotch (plastral figure) that follows the sutures of the plastral scutes and fades with age so that many adults lack a pattern all together (i.e., the plastron is immaculate). The head, neck and limbs are dark olive, brown, or black with thin yellow or green stripes. There is an oval or triangular spot located behind the eye. Like


title: "Northern map turtle" content: other map turtles, this species exhibits extreme sexual size dimorphism. Males are in carapace length and weigh between , while females are in carapace length and weigh around . Females have a much wider head than males and this is associated with differences in feeding. Males have a narrower carapace with more distinct keel, narrower head, and a longer, thicker tail. Unlike females, the opening of the cloaca is beyond the rear edge of the carapace. Young map turtles have a pronounced dorsal keel. Hatchlings have a round grayish-brown carapace that is about long. Northern map turtles inhabit an area


title: "Northern map turtle" content: from south Quebec and Ontario to northern Vermont where it lives in the St. Lawrence River drainage basin. Its range extends west through the Great Lakes and into southern Wisconsin and eastern Minnesota, west of the Appalachians, south to Kansas and northwestern Georgia. It also occurs in the Susquehanna River system in Pennsylvania and Maryland and the Delaware River. Also, a small European population occurs in the Czech Republic, which was formed from escaped or released turtles and their descendants. In the Czech Republic, this turtle is considered an alien species, but is threatened together with Czech native turtles, other


title: "Northern map turtle" content: reptiles and amphibians by a large population of another invasive turtle, "Trachemys scripta elegans". The northern map turtle inhabits ponds, rivers, and lakes. They prefer large bodies of water and areas with fallen trees and other debris for basking. These turtles are more often found in rivers than in lakes or ponds. They are found in larger rivers and lakes in the northern portion of their range but are more likely to live in smaller rocky rivers and streams in the south and west. Since they are turtles, naturally they need the sun to survive. This turtle is dormant around


title: "Northern map turtle" content: November through early April depending on local climactic factors. Northern map turtles spend the winter under water and do not surface to breathe, especially when ice cover makes this impossible. Adults rest on the bottom or wedged underneath rocks or logs and often hibernate communally with other northern map turtles where they may remain somewhat active. Hibernacula must be well oxygenated because, unlike some other turtle species such as painted turtles, map turtles need to absorb oxygen from the water to survive the winter. They are avid baskers and bask in groups. They are diurnal. They are also very wary


title: "Northern map turtle" content: animals; at the slightest hint of danger, they slip into the water and hide. Northern map turtles breed in the spring and fall. Most mating takes place in deep waters. The nesting period lasts from May to July. Unshaded sites with sandy soil are highly preferred. The female usually chooses well-drained areas for depositing the eggs. The nest cavity is dug with the hind feet. The size of the clutch is between six and 20. The eggs are oval, about long, and have a flexible shell. After the eggs are laid, the cavity is filled. They hatch after 50 to


title: "Northern map turtle" content: 70 days of incubation, and most hatchlings emerge in August to September. When a nest hatches late, the northern map turtle hatchlings have been known to overwinter in the nest. The female usually lays two or more clutches in one breeding season. The sexes of the young are determined by the temperature. At 25 °C, incubation produces a majority of males, whereas 30-35 °C yields more females. Map turtles are more carnivorous than most other members of the family Emydidae, and the northern map turtle is no exception. Adult females have wide heads, strong jaws and broad alveolar crushing surfaces


title: "Northern map turtle" content: in their mouths which they use to feed on molluscs, their primary prey, as well as insects and crayfish. Adult males are much smaller and have narrower heads and feed on smaller molluscs and insects. Like most other aquatic turtles, feeding always takes place in the water. In places where invasive molluscs such as zebra mussels and Asian clams "(Corbicula fluminea)" are abundant, they may become the most important food of female northern map turtles. Map turtles are considered habitat specialists and may be replaced by a more tolerant species when their habitat is altered. Unfortunately the effects of human


title: "Northern map turtle" content: interference by way boating and recreation on shorelines are likely impeding the map turtle from re-establishing itself in natural areas. Thus, populations of Northern map turtles have probably declined across their entire natural range but they remain widespread and may be abundant in some locations. This species has classified as least concern by the IUCN. Collecting, keeping, and selling of northern map turtles is prohibited by Animals in Captivity regulations in nine states. It is considered endangered in Kansas, Kentucky, and Maryland. Like most jurisdictions of the United States, Canada lists northern map turtles as a species of special concern.

title: "Amblyomma americanum" content: Amblyomma americanum Amblyomma americanum, also known as the lone star tick, the northeastern water tick, or the turkey tick, is a type of tick indigenous to much of the eastern United States and Mexico, that bites painlessly and commonly goes unnoticed, remaining attached to its host for as long as seven days until it is fully engorged with blood. It is a member of the phylum Arthropoda, class Arachnida. The adult lone star tick is sexually dimorphic, named for a silvery-white, star-shaped spot or "lone star" present near the center of the posterior portion of the adult female shield (scutum);


title: "Amblyomma americanum" content: adult males conversely have varied white streaks or spots around the margins of their shields. "A. americanum" is also referred to as the turkey tick in some Midwestern U.S. states, where wild turkeys are a common host for immature ticks. It is the primary vector of "Ehrlichia chaffeensis", which causes human monocytic ehrlichiosis, and "Ehrlichia ewingii", which causes human and canine granulocytic ehrlichiosis. Other disease-causing bacterial agents isolated from lone star ticks include "Francisella tularensis", "Rickettsia amblyommii", and "Coxiella burnetti". The lone star tick is widely distributed across the East, Southeast, and Midwest United States. It lives in wooded areas,


title: "Amblyomma americanum" content: particularly in second-growth forests with thick underbrush, where white-tailed deer (the primary host of mature ticks) reside. Lone star ticks can also be found in ecotonal areas (transition zones between different biomes) such as those between forest and grassland ecosystems. The lone star tick uses thick underbrush or high grass to attach to its host by way of questing. Questing is an activity in which the tick climbs up a blade of grass or to the edges of leaves and stretches its front legs forward, in response to stimuli from biochemicals such as carbon dioxide or heat and vibration from


title: "Amblyomma americanum" content: movement, and mounts the passing host as it brushes against the tick's legs. Once attached to its host, the tick is able to move around and select a preferred feeding site. The tick follows the normal developmental stages of egg, larva, nymph, and adult. It is known as a three-host tick, meaning that it feeds from a different host during each of the larval, nymphal, and adult stages. The lone star tick attaches itself to a host by way of questing. The lone star tick is an aggressive, generalist feeder; it actively pursues blood meals and is not specific about


title: "Amblyomma americanum" content: the species of host upon which it feeds. As already mentioned, "A. americanum" requires a separate animal or human host to complete each stage of its life cycle. The lifecycle begins when the blood-engorged adult female tick drops from her host, depositing around 5,000 eggs a few days later, once she has reached a safe and suitable location, such as in mulch or leaf litter. After an incubation period, larvae hatch from their eggs and undergo a quiescent (resting) period; this is followed by the pursuit of a host via questing. After feeding for one to three days, the blood-engorged


title: "Amblyomma americanum" content: larva dislodges from its host to digest its blood meal and molt into a nymph. The nymph follows this same pattern, attaching to a new host via questing and dropping from the host after its blood meal to molt into an adult tick. The female adult tick dies shortly after depositing her eggs. Larval lone star ticks have been found attached to birds and small mammals, and nymphal ticks have been found on these two groups, as well as on small rodents. Adult lone star ticks usually feed on medium and large mammals, and are very frequently found on white-tailed


title: "Amblyomma americanum" content: deer. Lone star ticks also feed on humans at any stage of development. Like all ticks, it can be a vector of diseases including human monocytotropic ehrlichiosis ("Ehrlichia chaffeensis"), canine and human granulocytic ehrlichiosis ("Ehrlichia ewingii"), tularemia ("Francisella tularensis"), and southern tick-associated rash illness (STARI, possibly caused by the spirochete "Borrelia lonestari"). STARI exhibits a rash similar to that caused by Lyme disease, but is generally considered to be less severe. Though the primary bacterium responsible for Lyme disease, "Borrelia burgdorferi", has occasionally been isolated from lone star ticks, numerous vector competency tests have demonstrated that this tick is extremely


title: "Amblyomma americanum" content: unlikely to be capable of transmitting Lyme disease. Some evidence indicates "A. americanum" saliva inactivates "B. burgdorferi" more quickly than the saliva of "Ixodes scapularis". Recently the bacteria "Borrelia andersonii" and "Borrelia americana" have been linked to "A. americanum". In 2013, in response to two cases of severe febrile illness occurring in two farmers in northwestern Missouri, researchers determined the lone star tick can transmit the heartland virus. Six more cases were identified in 2012–2013 in Missouri and Tennessee. The bite of the lone star tick can cause a person to develop alpha-gal meat allergy, a delayed response to nonprimate


title: "Amblyomma americanum" content: mammalian meat and meat products. The allergy manifests as anaphylaxis — a life-threatening allergic reaction characterized by constriction of airways and a drop in blood pressure. This response is triggered by an IgE antibody to the mammalian oligosaccharide galactose-alpha-1,3-galactose (alpha-gal). As well as occurring in non-primate mammals, alpha-gal is also found in cat dander and in the drug cetuximab. Allergic reactions to alpha-gal usually occur 3–6 hours after consuming red meat, unlike allergic reactions to other foods, whose onset following consumption is more or less immediate, making it more difficult to identify what caused the reaction. Skin tests with standard


title: "Amblyomma americanum" content: meat test solutions are unreliable when testing for alpha-gal allergy, whereas skin tests with raw meat and/or pork kidney are more sensitive. Specific tests for determination of IgE to alpha-gal are available.

The latter names tend to cause some confusion, as many other mushrooms grow in fairy rings (such as the edible "Agaricus campestris", the poisonous "Chlorophyllum molybdites", and many others). "Marasmius oreades" grows extensively throughout North America and Europe in the summer and autumn (fall) (June - November in the UK), or year-round in warmer climates. It loves grassy areas such as lawns, meadows, and even dunes in coastal areas. "Marasmius oreades" grows gregariously in troops, arcs, or rings (type II, which

This mushroom can be mistaken for the toxic "Clitocybe rivulosa" which lacks an umbo, is white to grey in color, and has closely spaced decurrent gills. Many mushroom connoisseurs are fond of "M. oreades" and its sweet taste lends it to baked goods such as cookies. It is also used in foods such as soups, stews, etc. Traditionally, the stems (which tend to be fibrous and unappetizing) are cut off and the caps are threaded and dried in strings.


title: "Marasmius oreades" content: A possible reason why this mushroom is so sweet-tasting is due to the presence of trehalose, a type of sugar that allows "M. oreades" to resist death by desiccation. When exposed to water after being completely dried out, the trehalose is digested as the cells completely revive, causing cellular processes, including the creation of new spores, to begin again. "Marasmius oreades" can be used for the biological remediation of bismuth in polluted soils. Marasmius oreades Marasmius oreades, the Scotch bonnet, is also known as the fairy ring mushroom or fairy ring champignon. The latter names tend to cause some confusion,
