  • Fascinating World of Animals and Insects
    FASCINATING WORLD OF ANIMALS AND INSECTS PADMA RAJAGOPAL Introduction As the human population on earth keeps increasing every second there is greater and greater pressure on all the resources. More and more land is grabbed by man for cultivation or habitation, and in the name of progress and development there is a large scale destruction of forests, mountains, low-lands, lakes, rivers and even the shore lines. It is no wonder that a large number of animal and plant species have disappeared and more and more species continue to disappear every day. In the race for his own survival and well being and to a great extent due to his selfishness and greed Man has totally forgotten that the millions of species of plants and animals inhabiting the earth and which were there millions of years before man came on the scene, have an equal if not greater right to survive. By this ruthless destruction of nature and natural life and the ever increasing pollution of air, water and land, man may ultimately end up destroying even mankind! Only recently there have been some serious attempts to conserve nature and natural life. There is a great need to develop interest among the younger generation in particular, to know something about the animals and plants and to create an awareness to treat them as co- inhabitants of our planet and to protect them. Children invariably show keen interest in anything strange and fascinating. Very few of us are aware of the enormous diversity of the plant and animals life around us, the innumerable fascinating facts about

  • Evolution of the Hominoid Vertebral Column by Scott
    EVOLUTION OF THE HOMINOID VERTEBRAL COLUMN BY SCOTT A. WILLIAMS DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Anthropology in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2011 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor John D. Polk, Co-Chair Assistant Professor Charles C. Roseman, Co-Chair Assistant Professor Laura L. Shackelford Professor Steven R. Leigh Professor Lyle W. Konigsberg ABSTRACT This is a study of the numerical composition of the vertebral column, the central structure of the vertebrate body plan and one that plays an instrumental role in locomotion and posture. Recent models of hominoid vertebral evolution invoke very different roles for homology and homoplasy in the evolution of vertebral formulae in living and extinct hominoids. These processes are fundamental to the emergence of morphological structures and reflect similarity by common descent (homology) or similarity by independent evolution (homoplasy). Although the "short backs," reflecting reduced lumbar regions, of living hominoids have traditionally been interpreted as homologies and shared derived characters (synapomorphies) of the ape and human clade, recent studies of variation in extant hominoid vertebral formulae have challenged this hypothesis. Instead, a "long-back" model, in which primitive, long lumbar regions are retained throughout hominoid evolution and are reduced independently in six lineages of modern hominoids, is proposed. The recently described skeleton of Ardipithecus ramidus is interpreted to support the long-back model. Here, larger samples are collected and placed in a larger phylogenetic context than previous studies. Analyses of over 8,000 mammal specimens, representing all major groups and focusing on anthropoid primates, allow for the reconstruction of ancestral vertebral formulae throughout mammalian evolution and a determination of the uniqueness of hominoid vertebral formulae.

  • Some Mammals Have Unusual Backbones

The human spinal column has 33 small bones (vertebrae). shape, and structure of animals, plants, and microorganisms and of the relationships of their constituent parts. Comparing the structure of animal bones with their function and motion helps scientists to understand how animals are adapted to their environment and how they might adapt to changes in their environment. We know that different shaped bones in our bodies have different functions: the skull protects our brain, our ribs protect our heart and lungs, large bones in our legs and arms can carry heavy loads, smaller bones in our hands and feet allow us to manipulate tools. Questions for children to consider: If both our skull and ribs protect important internal organs, why are they so different? Why are there so many bones in our backbone (Figure 1)? Can you think of examples of how the size and shape of an animal’s bones are suited to its behaviour or to its habitat? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Segments_of_Vertebrae.svg Sometimes scientists find structures (morphologies) CC BY-SA 4.0 in living organisms that they cannot explain.

Thirty three (33) Important Bird Areas were identified including Mabira Forest Reserve. In this study, we make a case that policy formulation about natural resources needs to be informed with facts in the present and full knowledge of the future or predicted long term consequences. We are grateful to BirdLife International Partnership particularly Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB) whose initial support enabled NatureUganda to undertake this study on the economic evaluation of a section of Mabira Forest Reserve that was proposed for Degazzettement. The research work falls under our advocacy programme supported by various partners including BirdLife International through Jansen’s Foundation programme on ‘turning policy advantages into conservation gains’.

  • Differing Effects of Size and Lifestyle on Bone Structure in Mammals Eli Amson1,2* and Faysal Bibi1
    Amson and Bibi BMC Biology (2021) 19:87 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12915-021-01016-1 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Differing effects of size and lifestyle on bone structure in mammals Eli Amson1,2* and Faysal Bibi1 Abstract Background: Mammals are a highly diverse group, with body mass ranging from 2 g to 170 t, and encompassing species with terrestrial, aquatic, aerial, and subterranean lifestyles. The skeleton is involved in most aspects of vertebrate life history, but while previous macroevolutionary analyses have shown that structural, phylogenetic, and functional factors influence the gross morphology of skeletal elements, their inner structure has received comparatively little attention. Here we analysed bone structure of the humerus and mid-lumbar vertebrae across mammals and their correlations with different lifestyles and body size. Results: We acquired bone structure parameters in appendicular and axial elements (humerus and mid-lumbar vertebra) from 190 species across therian mammals (placentals + marsupials). Our sample captures all transitions to aerial, fully aquatic, and subterranean lifestyles in extant therian clades. We found that mammalian bone structure is highly disparate and we show that the investigated vertebral structure parameters mostly correlate with body size, but not lifestyle, while the opposite is true for humeral parameters. The latter also show a high degree of convergence among the clades that have acquired specialised (non-terrestrial) lifestyles. Conclusions: In light of phylogenetic, size, and functional factors, the distribution of each investigated structural parameter reveals patterns explaining the construction of appendicular and axial skeletal elements in mammalian species spanning most of the extant diversity of the clade in terms of body size and lifestyle.

Previous macroevolutionary 10 analyses have shown that structural, historical, and functional factors influence the gross 11 morphology of bone. The inner structure of bone has, however, received comparatively little 12 attention. Here we address this gap in our understanding of vertebrate evolution by quantifying 13 bone structure in appendicular and axial elements (humerus and mid-lumbar vertebra) across 14 therian mammals (placentals + marsupials). Our sampling captures all transitions to aerial, fully 15 aquatic, and subterranean lifestyles in extant mammal clades. We found that mammalian inner 16 bone structure is highly disparate. We show that vertebral structure mostly correlates with body 17 size, but not lifestyle, while the opposite is true for humeral structure. The latter also shows a 18 high degree of convergence among the clades that have acquired specialised lifestyles. Our 19 results suggest that radically different extrinsic constraints can apply to bone structure in different 20 skeletal elements.
