In early months of World War One, the area of Lipnica witnessed heavy fighting between Russian and Austro-Hungarian troops (see Battle of Galicia). The town was destroyed, and after the frontline had moved eastwards, local residents starved. In 1918, Lipnica became part of Krakow Voivodeship, Second Polish Republic. On July 1, 1934, it lost its town charter, and the mayor was replaced by the voigt. Lipnica Murowana Lipnica Murowana is a village in southern Poland. It lies

However, the mixture of old equipment and horses being the only form of transportation greatly hindered the town's success. In the same year, for unknown reasons, the mining companies neglected to pay a collective $40,122 dollar engineering bill. This caused foreclosure proceedings and affected the mine's success until the claim was settled in February 7, 1905, allowing the mine to grow again. There were large gold strikes in both November 1915

title: "Brachygastra mellifica" content: Brachygastra mellifica Brachygastra mellifica, more commonly known as the Mexican honey wasp, is a neotropical social wasp. It can be found in both North and South America. "B. mellifica" is one of few wasp species that produces honey. It is also considered a delicacy in some cultures in Mexico. This wasp species is of use to humans because they can be used to control pest species and pollinate avocados. The species that comprise the genus "Brachygastra" are neotropical social wasps. They can be found from southern United States to Northern Argentina and include a total of 16 species. "B. mellifica"


title: "Brachygastra mellifica" content: is the only species present in the US, found in both Arizona and Texas. "B. mellifica" ranges from Texas to Nicaragua. This genus is known for its easily recognizable abdomen, which can be almost as wide as it is long, and its very high scutellum that often projects over the metanotum. "B. mellifica" is very similar in morphology to "B. lecheguana" but differs in its geographic distribution. In general, external reproductive organs can distinguish males from females; only females have stingers. Workers and males share the same coloration. They both have alternating abdominal bands of yellow and black. Queens characteristically


title: "Brachygastra mellifica" content: have a dark reddish-brown abdominal coloration. Queens can also be distinguished from workers due to the occurrence of sperm in the spermathecae of the queens. "B. mellifica" are small, with a body length of 7-9mm. "B. mellifica" make paper nests that range in size from 40–50 cm in diameter. These nests are quite full and can house anywhere from 3,500 to 18,700 wasps. The nest begins as a single irregular layer of cells attached to the first layer of carton on a branch. Clumps of cells on the branch are then extended into the first hanging layer. Successive layers are


title: "Brachygastra mellifica" content: formed independently and extend out and around the bottom of the first layer. This happens multiple times around and over the previous layer, resulting in a growing spiral. The nest goes from a small, flat oval to a sausage- or capsule-like shape over time. The surface of the nest is blotchy, colored brown or grey, varying as a result of the raw materials used for construction. The texture of the surface is that of rough cardboard, and is not glossy. "B. mellifica" is found in a range from Northern Panama through most of subtropical Central America and Mexico. They are


title: "Brachygastra mellifica" content: also found in southeastern Arizona and the most southern counties of Texas. "B. mellifica" builds its nest in the canopy of a shrub or a tree, often 1 to 9 m above the ground. Nests are often reported to be located in suburban settings that are close to human habitation. They are well covered in the foliage in which they are built. These nests can be threatened by urban development, such as in Texas. Nests of "B. mellifica" can have anywhere from 3,500 to 18,700 wasps. Populations are abundant during July and September, which are times associated with plentiful citrus


title: "Brachygastra mellifica" content: groves and thus large populations of the psyllid "Diaphorina citri", a common prey of "B. mellifica". When the "D. citri" nymphs are not plentiful, the wasps nearly disappear until "D. citri" populations return the following spring. Clusters of colonies of "B. mellifica" are common, which suggests that swarms may only travel several hundred meters to start a new colony. According to some sources, it is not apparent whether queens start new colonies independently or if they intrude on another colony. Queens either mate and reproduce in their original colony, or can split off with a number of workers, in order


title: "Brachygastra mellifica" content: to found a new colony via swarming. Males also remain in their biological colonies and do not travel to other colonies to seek matings. Depending on the ratio of workers to queens in the colony, queens will regulate the number of new queens and workers raised. New queens are not produced unless there is only one queen remaining, following a cyclical monogyny colony cycle. Like most eusocial hymenoptera, communities of "B. mellifica" consist predominantly of sterile female workers and relatively few male drones and queens. The number of fertilized queens can range into the hundreds in "B. mellifica" colonies. The


title: "Brachygastra mellifica" content: high relatedness of a given colony's queens may indicate that such queens are only produced in the colony when there is a single queen. Colonies with a single queen have not been reported, indicating that if such a condition exists that it is a short lived period in the colony's life cycle. Queens within a single colony are highly related, which is consistent with the hypothesis that queens are only produced when the colony contains one queen. In a study on kin selection and relatedness by Hastings et al., the worker wasps were considerably more related to the queens than


title: "Brachygastra mellifica" content: to other workers. On average, workers have an r=0.37 for relatedness to queens. "B. mellifica" genetics show high levels of relatedness among workers in spite of the large amount of queens per colony. R=0.23 for all workers to each other, which is significantly lower than the relatedness of workers to queens. Genetic relatedness was determined in the study by Hastings et al. using PCR. DNA micro-satellites are good genetic markers for studying relatedness due to their Mendelian behavior and high variability. DNA was sampled from the whole wasp, thorax and head, or thorax alone in this study. The split-sex ratio


title: "Brachygastra mellifica" content: is a result of the asymmetrical relatedness between brothers and sisters, since "B. mellifica" are haplodiploid. When there are a lot of queens, males are produced. Since workers can share a maximum of 3/4 of their genes with sisters, they favor caring for female siblings over male siblings, who only share a maximum of 1/2 of their genes. Since this wasp follows a cyclical monogynous pattern, there is increased relatedness among all of the progeny. The split-sex ratio is the most distinct in any swarm-founding wasp currently studied. Research done by Hastings et al. on kin selection and relatedness showed


title: "Brachygastra mellifica" content: that queens produce the eggs that become males, not workers. Workers ‘police’ each other to make sure the queens produce most, if not all, of the males. "B. mellifica" is very good at searching and feeding on "Diaphorina citri" in tree flushes, one of their major prey. These wasps feed not only on the fluids from the prey, but may also eat the entire exoskeleton of "D. citri". "B. mellifica" also may consume larvae of "Anthonomus aeneoulus" Dietz and a moth from the family Alucitidae. Trophallaxis, or regurgitation, has also been observed on the nest surface of the Mexican honey


title: "Brachygastra mellifica" content: wasp, in which the forager regurgitates a drop of nectar to a responsive wasp. "Diogmites angustipennis" Loew is a robber fly known to prey on honeybees that has been observed preying in "B. mellifica". Orb weaving spiders have also been known to take single wasps as prey outside the nest. Attacks on the entire nest are also common. Both opossums and golden-fronted woodpeckers have been seen dissecting a nest. Other dismembered nests have damage that is similar to the damage caused by the woodpeckers to the nests. It is thought that wasp species and stingless bees were the first pollinators


title: "Brachygastra mellifica" content: of the avocado, before the introduction of the honeybee to the Americas. "B. mellifica" are pollinators because when they collect honey and larvae; they carry lots of pollen on their hairy head – including avocado pollen. They also carry pollen on their thorax and legs, and inside their unique thoracic cavities. While many wasp species visited the avocado flowers, they were not successful because of their hairless bodies. It has been suggested that "B. mellifica" can be used as a natural biological control agent. They offer many features, such as the ease of which the nests can be moved, the


title: "Brachygastra mellifica" content: speediness of population growth, and the fact that closed system preservation is possible. One species of particular interest to scientists is "Diaphorina citri", a very destructive pest of "Citrus" trees, which carries bacteria that make the fruit inedible and slowly kill the trees. "D. citri" is a major prey of "B. mellifa" and it would be beneficial to use these wasps to attack these pests. "B. mellifica" is one of few insects besides bees to create and store their own honey. Chromatographic analysis of "B. mellifica honey" showed 6/7 of the same peaks that appeared in honeybee mesquite honey. Melibiose


title: "Brachygastra mellifica" content: is the only peak that did not occur in both honeys. Both the glucose and fructose content in "B. mellifica" honey is comparable to that of honeybee mesquite honey. The similarities in the two honeys substantiate the idea that these are foraging wasps, because honey stores come from multiple common floral sources, such as mesquite and sunflower. "Brachygastra mellifica" serve as food source for the Popoloca Town of Los Reyes Metzontla, Mexico. The Popolocas have at least 17 species of insects in their diet, including "B. mellifica". The Spanish local name for this delicacy is "Panal Miniagua," and the Popoloca


title: "Brachygastra mellifica" content: name is "Cuchii." They eat the honey and larva of these wasps year round, but only harvest when the moon is between its last quarter and waning gibbous. According to traditional knowledge and experience, the nests are full of honey and larvae at this time. These insects can be cooked and used in food items such as tacos and larvae, and are considered a luxury.

The size of the species' total population is unknown, but is assumed to


title: "Desmognathus fuscus" content: easily exceed 100,000. The species' habitat differs somewhat geographically; dusky salamanders in the northern part of the range prefer rocky woodland streams, seepages, and springs, while those in the south favor floodplains, sloughs, and muddy places along upland streams. They are most common where water is running or trickling. They hide under various objects, such as leaves or rocks, either in or near water. Alternatively, they may enter burrows for protection. The dusky salamander lays its eggs close to water under moss or rocks, in logs, or in stream-bank cavities. The larval stage which follows is normally aquatic. A small


title: "Desmognathus fuscus" content: but sturdy salamander, the upper body of the northern dusky salamander varies in colour from reddish-brown to gray or olive, with a white or grey underside. The body is sparsely covered with dark spots or mottling concentrated on the sides. It also has a light dorsal stripe or two dark stripes that continue on to the first part of the tail. Juvenile colouring consists of five to eight pairs of dorsal spots or blotches located between the front and hind legs. Older individuals tend to be uniformly dark brown or black. As with all dusky salamander species, both juveniles and


title: "Desmognathus fuscus" content: adults have a pale single stripe outlined in black that extends from the eye and runs diagonally to the rear of the jaw. Additionally, both have 14 costal grooves, larger hind limbs than forelimbs, and a keeled (knife-like) tail that is triangular in cross-section and compressed laterally at the base. The tail is less than half its body length and is normally lighter in colour in comparison to the body. Adults attain lengths of up to 14 cm, with the average length of adult males and females being 9.4 cm and 8.6 cm, respectively. Being from the family Plethodontidae, the


title: "Desmognathus fuscus" content: northern dusky salamander is lungless. It absorbs oxygen through the skin and membranous tissue located in the mouth and throat. The dusky salamander also has a naso-labial groove, which aids olfaction, and thus the ability to search out mates and prey through smell. The dusky salamander is similar in appearance to and thus often confused with the Allegheny Mountain dusky salamander ("Desmognathus ochrophaeus"). Distinguishing characteristics are that the dorsal spots of the Mountain dusky salamander are usually chevron-shaped and its tail rounded at the base rather than laterally compressed. Additionally, hybridization has been known to occur between the Allegheny Mountain


title: "Desmognathus fuscus" content: dusky salamander and the northern dusky salamander. The northern dusky salamander can also be differentiated from other lungless salamanders including the eastern red-backed, the northern two-lined and the four-toed. They have a distinguishing pale-coloured line that runs from behind their eyes to the rear of the jaw, and heavier set bodies with longer hind legs than front legs. This species is native to North America, and occurs throughout central-eastern regions of Canada and the United States, from southern New Brunswick , southeastern Quebec and southern Ontario southwest to eastern Ohio, and southern Illinois, Mississippi and eastern Louisiana. Disjunctive populations also


title: "Desmognathus fuscus" content: occur in north/northeastern Arkansas and Louisiana, the Carolinas, northern and central Georgia, as well as the Florida panhandle. The Canadian distribution accounts for approximately 5% of the global range. Within its Canadian range, the northern dusky salamander usually occurs in forested habitat located in high elevation, low-order streams. There are two separate units (DU), the Quebec/New Brunswick DU and the Carolinian DU in Ontario. In the northern extent of their range, the northern dusky salamander inhabits saturated soil near springs, seepages, and small tributaries of small headwater streams otherwise known as the riparian zone. Habitat quality is optimal in undisturbed


title: "Desmognathus fuscus" content: watersheds and where water is running or trickling and there is an abundance of forest cover The forest cover serves to keep the water cool and well oxygenated, and maintains moisture and temperature at levels necessary for salamander survival. In the south, the northern dusky salamander can be found in upland streams as well as floodplains, sloughs and muddy sites. The species uses subterranean retreats or burrows near the streams edge as well as leaf litter, logs, rocks and moss as a source of protective cover for avoiding desiccation and predators. These microhabitats are also important for foraging and nesting


title: "Desmognathus fuscus" content: both of which take place on land close to the water's edge. As a result of desiccation and predators, activity of the northern dusky salamander peaks in the morning, and the evening and early night. Alongside the stream, females nest in cryptic microhabitats where soil is saturated with water. Their eggs are often laid in logs, under rocks or moss, or stream-bank cavities. During development while in the larval stage, the northern dusky salamander is strictly aquatic, its habitat the interstitial spaces between rocks of the streambed. In winter, they remain in shallow running water, whereas adults overwinter in subterranean


title: "Desmognathus fuscus" content: retreats or in streams, often remaining active throughout winter if the substrate doesn’t freeze. As a relatively small amphibian, the northern dusky salamander spends most of its life in hiding. If predated it is capable of autotomy along any point of its tail, but lacks chemical defense mechanisms against its main predators which include larger salamanders, birds, fish, snakes, crayfish, and small mammals. The home range of the northern dusky salamander is limited to 1m to 3.6 m. The northern dusky salamander has seasonal variations with its patterns of movement. During warmer months the salamanders have larger home ranges that


title: "Desmognathus fuscus" content: average around 1.5 m2. This is reduced during the winter and some populations move into specific areas for condensed winter retreats. Due to their lack of mobility, some populations of dusky salamander are genetically distinct. Breeding is terrestrial and occurs annually in spring or fall and includes elaborate courtship rituals. Adult males have papillose cloacal lips and a small mental gland. These glandular tissues become enlarged when sexually active. Female individuals lack a mental gland and have folded cloacal lips. For reproduction, the male applies the snout, cheeks and mental gland to the snout of the female, who usually responds


title: "Desmognathus fuscus" content: by picking up the spermatophore. Fecundity increases with body size. Females normally deposit between 10 and 30 eggs under logs, moss or rocks located streamside where soil is saturated with water. Clutch size has been known to vary geographically and can be as large as forty-five, or as few as eight. Females remain with their eggs for an incubation period of six to ten weeks (45 to 60 days) in order to protect them from desiccation and predation . The larvae are predominantly aquatic and approximately 1.5 cm in length upon hatching. The larvae then metamorphose into semi-terrestrial adults, with


title: "Desmognathus fuscus" content: juvenile salamanders being 2.8 to 4.4 cm in length. Their biphasic life cycle includes an aquatic state of seven to 16 months, followed by a semi-terrestrial adult stage. The northern dusky salamander attains sexual maturity at approximately three to four years of age. Life expectancy is 10 to 15 years. The northern dusky salamander is considered to be feeding generalist, with its diet based on food availability. Stream salamanders are known to be significant predators. This is namely because they are dominant vertebrates within headwater riparian forest ecosystems, with a biomass greater than that reported for fish, birds or small


title: "Desmognathus fuscus" content: mammals. The species is carnivorous and consumes a variety of aquatic and terrestrial invertebrates. Larvae feed predominantly on aquatic invertebrates, whereas the adult diet consists of 60 to 85% of terrestrial invertebrates, including arthropods and earthworms. When prey is in excess, the northern dusky salamander does typically have a preference for the larger and fleshier terrestrial invertebrates, such as earthworms. The aquatic portion of the adult’s diet is habitat specific and commensurate with the seasonal abundance and diversity of invertebrates. Current data does not allow an accurate estimate of population size or trends. That said, the total adult population size


title: "Desmognathus fuscus" content: of the northern dusky salamander is known to exceed 100,000 individuals. There are numerous stable populations throughout the range. The species is widespread in Quebec and New Brunswick but local densities are usually low. In Ontario, the species is rare with a population size estimated at fewer than 250 individuals. The northern dusky salamander is extremely vulnerable to desiccation and therefore reliant on clean headwater streams. Resultantly, contamination of ground water or waterways through pollution from urban areas, industry, or agriculture, can be catastrophic to local populations. The disappearance of the species from the Acadian National Park in Maine is


title: "Desmognathus fuscus" content: believed to be the result of heavy metal contamination. Freshwater stream acidification also poses a significant threat with 40% of streams in the southern Appalachians showing signs of acidification. Changes to stream flow or the groundwater supply, can have significant impacts on local salamander genetics and populations vis-à-vis loss of suitable aquatic or terrestrial habitat, bank instability from excessive runoff, or simply changes to the moisture in the terrestrial habitat. Such changes can be naturally occurring or artificially induced (e.g. discharged water volumes). The activities of forestry can be similarly devastating. Timber harvesting, wind farms and watershed urbanization reduce water


title: "Desmognathus fuscus" content: supply, water quality and microhabitat availability. Aquatic habitat can be degraded through siltation of streams, or the microhabitat conditions of the forest floor undergoing alterations. Siltation is of particular consequence to the northern dusky salamander because the interstitial spaces that they use for foraging, nesting and overwintering are lost. Urbanization has resulted in the disappearance of the species in Mount Saint-Hellaire National Park in Quebec, as well as other areas. Vulnerability to extirpation is further heightened when the species relies on a single watershed. Such is the case of the Ontario population of the northern dusky salamander. The species is


title: "Desmognathus fuscus" content: also threatened through the introduction of predatory fish, such as Brook Trout. The northern dusky salamander is listed as endangered in Ontario and is declining in many parts of the United States yet some populations remain stable. The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) lists its global status as Least Concern. In the province of Ontario, where the status of the Carolinian population of the northern dusky salamander is listed as Endangered, the northern dusky salamander is protected under the Ontario Endangered Species Act of 2007 and by the Ontario Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act. These acts protect its


title: "Desmognathus fuscus" content: habitat and make it illegal to possess, harm or kill the species. In Ontario, a dusky salamander recovery team entitled the "Allegheny Mountain Dusky Salamander and Northern Dusky Salamander Recovery Strategy" has also been established to develop a recovery plan for both species. The Quebec / New Brunswick population of the northern dusky salamander is considered not at risk. Nonetheless, it is currently on a list of species likely to be designated as threatened or vulnerable by the Quebec provincial government and is also protected by a provincial act that prohibits the collecting or selling of specimens. Likewise, Article 22


title: "Desmognathus fuscus" content: of the provincial Environmental Quality Act offers protection against unregulated degradation of the dusky salamander’s environment. In New Brunswick, the species is designated as Sensitive under the General Status of Species in Canada. Protection is offered the species by the New Brunswick Fish and Wildlife Act. Desmognathus fuscus Desmognathus fuscus is a species of amphibian in the family Plethodontidae (lungless salamanders). The species is commonly called the dusky salamander or northern dusky salamander to distinguish it from populations in the southern United States which form a separate species, the southern dusky salamander ("D. auriculatus"). The northern dusky salamander is the

It is found in Canada and the United States. Its natural habitats are temperate forests, rivers, intermittent rivers, freshwater springs, and rocky areas. "D. ochrophaeus" is a medium-sized salamander that can grow to about 10 cm in length. Adults are brownish and can have a widely variable coloration pattern. Usually, it has a light stripe down the back, with a row of dark spots on the centre and flanked by dark pigments. As in all members of the genus, the


title: "Allegheny Mountain dusky salamander" content: hind legs are larger and stouter than the front legs. This species belongs to the "lungless salamander" family (Plethodontidae), and adults must keep their skin moist to breathe. It is a somewhat terrestrial salamander that can be found under stones, logs, and bark near springs, streams and other areas where the ground is saturated with water. Ontario's Endangered Species Act, 2007, protects "D. ochrophaeus" from being killed, harmed, or possessed. Salamanders are protected on Niagara Parks Commission property under the Niagara Parks Act, which makes it illegal to hunt, trap, or molest any animal without a government permit. A Dusky

The greenhouse frog is a very small species, ranging from in length. These frogs are usually drab or olive-brown in colour, and occur in two forms; one has two broad stripes running longitudinally down the back, and the other is mottled. The undersides of both are a paler colour than the back, and the eyes are red. The greenhouse


title: "Greenhouse frog" content: frog is native to Cuba and some other islands in the West Indies. It has been introduced to Hawaii and Florida, where it has become common. It has been sporadically found in southern Georgia, southern Alabama and eastern Louisiana. It is an introduced species in Jamaica , Guam and Shenzhen, China. It lives in moist leaf litter, often near human habitations, but is seldom seen because it is nocturnal. It sometimes emerges on warm, rainy days in summer, and in Florida, it has been found hibernating in March under the flaking bark of a wild tamarind ("Lysiloma") tree. The diet


title: "Greenhouse frog" content: of the greenhouse frog consists of small invertebrates, such as ants, beetles, mites, spiders, and roaches. The greenhouse frog is unusual in that its eggs are not laid in water or in a frothy mass as is the case in some tree frogs. Instead, the eggs are enclosed in a thick membrane and laid singly in concealed, damp locations, such as beneath a log, buried in debris, or even under a flower pot. Clutch sizes vary between three and 26 eggs in Florida. They pass through their tadpole stage while still in the egg, and emerge as fully developed juvenile


title: "Greenhouse frog" content: frogs about long with a short tail that soon gets reabsorbed. In warm conditions, hatching may occur on the 13th day of development. The tadpoles have an "egg tooth" on the end of their snouts to help them to emerge from the egg case. Afterwards, this is no longer of use, so is shed. The adult frog may provide some parental care by guarding the eggs, as frogs have been observed lurking in the vicinity of egg clumps.

title: "Red salamander" content: Red salamander The red salamander ("Pseudotriton ruber") is a species of salamander in the family Plethodontidae endemic to the Eastern United States. Its skin is orange/red with random black spots. Its habitats are temperate forests, small creeks, ponds, forests, temperate shrubland, rivers, intermittent rivers, freshwater, trees springs. Overall this species is common and widespread, but locally it has declined because of habitat loss and it is considered threatened in Indiana. Red salamanders eat insects, earthworms, spiders, small crustaceans, snails and smaller salamanders. The red salamander, as a member of the family Plethodontidae (lungless salamanders), lacks lungs and respires through its


title: "Red salamander" content: skin. "Pseudotriton ruber" is a medium-large salamander, with adults ranging from in total length. Its sides and back vary in color from an orange-brownish tint to a bright red depending on its age. Like other salamanders, the red salamander seems to lose its color as it ages, becoming more darkly pigmented with less obscure patterns. Another distinguishing characteristic of "P. ruber" is the appearance of numerous irregular black spots down its back. Although the red salamander is brilliantly colored and has many distinguishing features, it is sometimes difficult to tell species apart. "P. ruber" is most similar in appearance to


title: "Red salamander" content: the mud salamander ("P. montanus"), but can be distinguished by the difference in size and number of spots running down the dorsum and also by the difference in the color of the iris. The red salamander has more spots and the spots also tend to be larger in size than those of the mud salamander. In regard to eye color, the red salamander’s iris is a gold-like tint, whereas the mud salamander’s iris is brown. Mud salamanders typically have a blunter snout than the red salamander. Also, the mud salamanders typically have a more contrasting dorsal and ventral coloration than


title: "Red salamander" content: the red salamanders that are more uniform in color. In the Plethodontidae (lungless salamanders), many members respire through their skin and the lining in their mouths. Lunglessness in this family may have evolved due to an adaptation for life in streams, and members of the family Plethodontidae probably did evolve other methods for respiration other than lungs (i.e. gills) due to enhanced survival of larval salamanders in fast-moving stream environments of southern Appalachia. Lungs in general help aquatic animals maintain position in the water column, but the larvae of Plethodontidae members are benthic creatures, therefore the adaptation of lunglessness would


title: "Red salamander" content: be beneficial to them since buoyancy would endanger their survival. The red salamander is further classified as a member of the genus "Pseudotriton". Members of this genus include only the red salamander and the mud salamander. The four subspecies of "P. ruber" are found across the eastern United States, occupying streams through open areas such as fields and meadows, as well as aquatic areas through forested areas and mountains. Each subspecies is similar in appearance with slight differences in size and coloration, but are found in different habitats. The northern red salamander, "P. r. ruber", is characterized as being red


title: "Red salamander" content: or reddish-orange with numerous black spots down its back. This subspecies is the most common and can be found from southern New York and Ohio to northeast Alabama, as well as the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Similar in appearance to the northern red salamander is the Blue Ridge red salamander, "P. r. nitidus". This species differs it is slightly smaller and lacks black coloration on the tip of the tail and chin. The Blue Ridge red salamander is found in elevations to more than in the southern part of the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia. The blackchin red salamander, "P.


title: "Red salamander" content: r. schencki", differs in appearance by having strong black coloration under its chin, as well as spotting all the way to the tip of the tail. It can also be found in elevations to more than in the Blue Ridge Mountains. The southern red salamander ("P. r. vioscai") is often purplish- to salmon-colored and normally has white spots on its head. This subspecies is found from southern South Carolina to southeast Louisiana and southwest Kentucky. All subspecies of "P. ruber" occupy moist environments such as under moss and stones near clear water sources such as streams or springs. Red salamanders


title: "Red salamander" content: are normally not found near large streams, but instead near smaller water sources. Some important aquatic and terrestrial ecological aspects of this salamander include its diet, predators, and microhabitat preferences. Larvae mainly feed on invertebrates such as insect larvae and worms. Larval growth rates differ depending on the temperature of the water and tend to be higher in the warmer months when water temperature is higher. The red salamander generally lays eggs in the fall and hatching season takes place in the late fall and winter. The larval period varies between 27 and 31 months and then metamorphosis takes place


title: "Red salamander" content: in the spring and early summer of the third year. Larval red salamanders are generalists, eating whatever is available. Feeding rates typically increase when water temperature is low and larger individuals feed more than smaller individuals. Although feeding rates appear to increase with increasing size, mortality rates, though, seem to be independent of size or age and survival is estimated to be about 50% per year. The longer larval period ensures that transformation occurs when the salamanders are much larger than other species of salamanders and typically have a short juvenile period, maturing quickly. Males mature at about , typically


title: "Red salamander" content: at four years of age, and females mature at about , typically at about five years of age. Red salamanders generally live in springs or streams during the winter and then disperse to and from these sites in the fall and spring. Due to its semiaquatic nature, the red salamander remains in terrestrial environments until early spring then disperses to more aquatic sites. Adults often live in burrows along streams and in other moist environments such as under logs and rocks along the forest floor. Adult red salamanders, like their larvae, are generalists and tend to feed on invertebrates, as


title: "Red salamander" content: well as small amphibians. Its predators include birds and small carnivores such as skunks and raccoons. Since the red salamander is a large species of salamander, its presence or absence can greatly affect the ecosystem where it lives, and understanding its ecology is important to understand its role in community structures. "P. ruber" has a wide range in its breeding season, which is only limited by extremely cold temperatures. Generally, however, adult red salamanders mate annually and engage in primitive courting activities. Courtship between two red salamanders involves: "A male approaches a female, rubbing his snout against her snout, cheeks,


title: "Red salamander" content: and chin. The male then moves his head and body under her chin and starts tail undulations. The female then straddles the male’s tail and the pair engages in a straddled “walk” until the male deposits sperm on the substrate. The “straddle-walk” approximately lasts two minutes and once the sperm is deposited, the female picks up the sperm cap as she moves over it and then they separate". Females are capable of long-term sperm storage and may not lay eggs for months after mating. Females typically lay eggs in the fall or early winter in headwater streams, and have very


title: "Red salamander" content: well-hidden nests. Other important behavioral aspects of "P. ruber" include its defensive mechanisms. In regards to mating, males appear to not be aggressive towards one another, but do occasionally court other males as a means of sperm competition to get the other male to deposit spermatophores, giving them a better chance of successful mating over their competitors. When threatened, red salamanders assume a defensive posture in which they curl their bodies, elevating and extending their rears, and placing their heads under their tails which are elevated and undulated from side to side. The coloration of the red salamander has been


title: "Red salamander" content: hypothesized to mimic that of the red eft stage of the eastern newt ("Notophythalmus viridescens") which emits a powerful neurotoxin in their skin. This hypothesis, however, was heavily criticized due to significant size differences in the organisms and the differences in the species’ times of foraging ( i.e. "P. ruber" mainly at night and the red eft mainly during the day). More recently, red salamanders have been noted to have reduced palatability, so they are considered part of a Müllerian mimicry system in which all species are unpalatable and benefit from aposematic coloration. Overall the red salamander is common and


title: "Red salamander" content: widespread, but locally it has declined because of habitat loss and it is listed as an endangered species in Indiana. The red salamander is arguably one of the most primitive plethodontids, so is extremely valuable in understanding the links to ancestors and the evolutionary processes that have occurred. Maintaining species diversity is an important part of conservation, and to prevent the loss of salamander diversity as a whole, it is important to have some type of management plan in place to prevent "P. ruber" from escalating from a low conservation status to a higher level of concern. Since the red

The nest is lined with green leaves. The female lays three to five eggs, dull white, spotted with pale yellow-brown or red-brown and a few darker freckles. There is no further information on its reproduction. The black-collared hawk lives on a diet mainly composed of fish. It also eats water bugs and occasionally lizards, snails and rodents. In the 1870s Ridgeway wrote that "Busarellus" (then known as "Ichthyoborus") had the "general form and appearance of


title: "Black-collared hawk" content: "Buteogallus aequinoctialis"", but that it "is much more nearly related to the heliatine groups", in which he included "Milvus", "Haliastur", and "Haliaaetus". During the early-to-mid 20th century, "Busarellus" was conventionally placed near "Buteogallus" in taxonomic order. The black-collared hawk has the basal phalanges of the inner toe fused, which may be an adaptation to prevent the toe from bending back when catching prey. This feature is shared with "Ictinia" and with the group of true milvine kites and sea eagles ("Milvus", "Haliastur", "Haliaaetus", and "Icthyophaga"). Research in molecular phylogenetics during the early 21st century indicates that there is a clear

title: Neurexin content: postsynaptically). Additionally, β-Neurexin has also been found to play a role in angiogenesis. The C terminus of the short intracellular section of both types of neurexins binds to synaptotagmin and to the PDZ (postsynaptic density (PSD)-95/discs large/zona-occludens-1) domains of CASK and Mint. These interactions form connections between intracellular synaptic vesicles and fusion proteins. Thus neurexins play an important role in assembling presynaptic and postsynaptic machinery. Trans-synapse, the extracellular LNS domains have a functional region, the hyper-variable surface, formed by loops carrying 3 splice inserts. This region surrounds a coordinated Ca ion and is the site of neuroligin binding, resulting in

title: "Cocoi heron" content: Cocoi heron The Cocoi heron ("Ardea cocoi") is a species of long-legged wading bird in the heron family Ardeidae found across South America. It has predominantly pale grey plumage with a darker grey crest. A carnivore, it hunts fish and crustaceans in shallow water. The cocoi heron was originally described by Linnaeus in the 1766 10th edition of his "Systema Naturae", The origin of its species name is unknown, but may be related to the common name in Chile "Cuca", which in turn denotes the bird’s call note. It is more widely known in South America as "Garza Mora" or


title: "Cocoi heron" content: "Black Heron". The Cocoi heron forms a superspecies with the similar European grey heron and North and Central American great blue heron, with all of these species showing similar skeletal morphology. The Cocoi heron is the largest of the South American heron species and measures in length, although body sizes vary regionally; with southern individuals probably being the largest. Adult weight of both males and females can variously range from . In the adult, wing length has been recorded as , tail length , culmen from base and tarsus . Sizes are similar to its North American counterpart, the great


title: "Cocoi heron" content: blue heron, although the latter may average slightly larger. The sexes are alike in both body size and colouration. It has a grey back and upper wings and a white S-shaped neck, thighs, under-tail wing coverts and scapulars; with black streaks on the neck and upper breast. The forehead and crown of the head are black and this black extends down to the eye region and up to the pointed crest hanging down the nape. There is also black streaking on the neck and black patches on sides of the lower breast and abdomen. Leg colour has been reported as


title: "Cocoi heron" content: black, brownish-grey or dark green. The iris is usually yellow and the bill dull yellow. The bare skin of the orbital region is pale greenish. In Argentina, breeding Cocoi herons have been observed to have bright yellow bills with a red tinge at the base and dusky pink legs. In flight, its large wings make it a slow but sturdy and graceful flyer. The voice is a deep croak. Overall, the Cocoi heron is similar in appearance to the grey heron; but the former has slightly darker colouration and a longer neck and crest. In the juvenile, the underparts are


title: "Cocoi heron" content: ash grey and streaked with buff. The neck and upper body surface are pale brownish with some ash grey tinge on the neck. Compared to the adult, the crown is duller and the under-tail coverts have a dusky streaking. Juveniles also lack the long plumes and occipital crest typical of the adult. Despite the paler colouration, the downy chick already shows the contrast between the dark head and pale neck typical of the adult. The Cocoi heron occurs throughout much of South America except in the Andes and in some parts of Argentina. It is native in Argentina, Panama, Suriname,


title: "Cocoi heron" content: Colombia, Venezuela, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Ecuador, French Guiana, Guyana, Paraguay, Peru and Uruguay. Overall, the Cocoi heron is notably widespread and ranges from Central America to the mainland shores on the Strait of Magellan, but is rarely found further south than Chubut in Argentina. It has an estimated extent of occurrence of 20600000 km. It inhabits the wetter parts of the Chaco and occurs as a vagrant in the Falkland Islands, Saint Helena, Ascension Island and Tristan da Cunha. It is a regular, non-breeding visitor to Trinidad and Tobago. The habitat comprises almost any body of water or wetland away


title: "Cocoi heron" content: from dense forest; including lake shores, swamps, rivers and estuaries. Gallery forest, grassland and beaches have also been reported to be suitable feeding grounds. Pastures appear to be disfavoured probably because these habitats harbour a large proportion of insects, which are less favoured as prey than fish and mammals. In the Falkland Islands, the habitat appears to comprise small streams. In one study in the Parana river, water with aquatic vegetation was found to be the most preferable, followed by open waters, with the lowest preference for beaches. This heron is found at elevations up to 2550 m above sea


title: "Cocoi heron" content: level. This heron feeds primarily on fish over long; with mammals, amphibians and sometimes insects also being consumed. Fish species consumed include whitemouth croaker,wolf fish, various "Leporinus" species up to 200 mm long and streaked prochilod. This heron has also been observed to feed on carrion and "Callinectes" blue crabs. In Colombia, chicks have also been observed being fed predominantly fish and less frequently with amphibians and crustaceans. The Cocoi heron catches prey by striking its head into the water and thrusting its bill to stab downwards. It may also tilt its head downward above the water so that only


title: "Cocoi heron" content: its bill is immersed. During feeding, the head and neck move rapidly while the body remains immobile. Feeding is usually diurnal and solitary, especially in Argentina, although in Chile, it is considered to be a largely nocturnal feeder, with diurnal roosting taking place in trees overlooking the water. In Venezuela, it has also been seen foraging in large groups. Where feeding is diurnal, there appears to be a peak in feeding activity at noon and a reduction at dusk. The Cocoi heron appears able to use alternative food sources by exploring foraging sites distant from its breeding colonies, since terrestrial


title: "Cocoi heron" content: rodents and reptiles and marine organisms have been found in the diet of individuals from freshwater colonies. Some colonies also reside near to estuarine coastland and individuals from these colonies are more reliant on marine prey. Foraging individuals often stay near to colonies and colony site choice has been found to be strongly linked to proximity to high-quality foraging habitats. The heron may also sometimes exploit dead whitemouth croaker discarded by recreational fisheries. Generation length in years has been estimated as 10.5 years, with a maximum longevity of 24.4 years. This heron is primarily non-migratory, but may move toward the


title: "Cocoi heron" content: equator during winter to seek warmer temperatures. The onset of the nesting season varies geographically. In Suriname, it begins in July; whereas it begins in August to November in Brazil and Argentina, October in Uruguay and November in the Buenos Aires region. The Cocoi heron nests colonially in trees. The large, deep nest is constructed from branches and sticks with grass, usually situated in trees. Near Buenos Aires, nests consisted of branches of "Solanum glauca" and dry thistles. They were roughly circular, 65 cm in diameter and very deep. In Chile, Cocoi herons have been observed to construct their nests


title: "Cocoi heron" content: on weeping willow trees in standing water withrushes. The eggs are pale blue with paler speckles and some whitish traces. Egg dimensions from various clutches in South America lie in the range 62-69 x 45-48 mm. Eggs from one Argentinian clutch weighed 70-80 g. From one colony in Buenos Aires, incubation was estimated as 24-26 days. However, in one Chilean colony where eggs hatched in September (Spring), incubation period was estimated as 27 days, ranging 26-29 days. Clutch size is 1 to 4 eggs. Juveniles may remain in the nest for up to 12 to 13 weeks, but most leave


title: "Cocoi heron" content: at 6 to 7 weeks. Alongside human inference, one natural threat may be posed by southern crested caracara. In one colony in Buenos Aires, the young in a caracara nest hatched before that of the Cocoi heron in a nearby nest and the former were reared largely on the heron chicks. The Cocoi heron is classified by the IUCN as Least Concern because of its extensive geographical range, apparently increasing population trend and large population size. Individuals in some territories are affected by agrochemicals, environmental modification and human interference with nests and eggs; but these issues do not constitute damaging
