I especially liked the scene of the parent taking a snooze with the very alert youngster nearby. 29 Digiscoping is taking pho- tos using a small digital camera mounted on a spotting scope. This setup can easily give you a lens equivalent of about 2,300 mm. That’s a very high magnification when you consider the biggest telephoto lenses for regular cameras are usually smaller than 1,000 mm and generally around 400 – 600 mm. Also, digiscoping equipment costs much less than high-quality large telephoto lenses and often weighs much less. Digiscoping allows you to photograph most wildlife from a considerable distance without disturbing them. From 40 feet away you can get close-up photos of songbirds.

In addition, the subgeneric arrangement of the species is unstable, and proposals segregating Chryso- lina species into new genera have been recently suggested. In this context, the availability of a phylogenetic framework would provide the basis for a stable taxonomic system, but the existing phylogenies are based on few taxa and have low resolution.

  • Biology Has Been Taught at Bristol – As Botany and Zoology – Since Before the University Was Founded in 1909
    Biology has been taught at Bristol – as Botany and Zoology – since before the University was founded in 1909. Bristol has made significant contributions to many fields, from animal cognition and medicinal plants to entomology, evolutionary Game Theory and bird flight – and the BBC Natural History Unit's proximity to the University has led to television careers for a number of graduates! In 1876, University College, the precursor to the University, appointed Dr. Frederick Adolph Leipner as Lecturer in Botany, Zoology and, amusingly, German. Leipner had trained at the Bristol Medical School, but taught botany and natural philosophy, later combining this with teaching in Vegetable Physiology at the Medical School. He became Professor of Botany in 1884 and was a founding member of the Bristol Naturalists' Society, becoming its President in 1893. Bristol today is proud of its interdisciplinary strengths and, among others, offers Joint Honours Degrees in Geology and Biology, and in Psychology and Zoology. A portent of these modern links is seen in one of the University's most notable early appointments, Conwy Lloyd Morgan, appointed as Professor of Zoology and Geology in 1884 and then – somehow fitting in service as Vice- Chancellor – becoming the first Chair in Psychology (and Ethics). Lloyd Morgan is most famous as a pioneer of the study of comparative animal cognition. He was a highly influential figure for the North American Behaviourist movement: “Lloyd Morgan's cannon” is a comparative psychologist's version of Occam's Razor whereby no behaviour should be ascribed to more complex cognitive mechanisms than strictly necessary. He was the first Fellow of the Royal Society to be elected for psychological work.

  • Entomologi Och Naturalhistoria 2009
    Entomologi och naturalhistoria 2009 Följande lista över entomologiska böcker och tryck omfattar en rad olika ämnesområden och inkluderar många olika insektsgrupper. Vissa insektsgrupper har fått egna rubriker. Dessa grupper kan även finnas behandlade under andra avdelningar, varför det kan löna sig att leta också under dessa. I den här katalogen har jag särskilt velat lyfta fram några klassiska insektsverk som haft stor betydelse för entomologins utveckling i dess olika former. Jag begagnar även tillfället att slå ett slag för den i boksamlarkretsar välkände entomologen och Linné-kännaren Felix Bryk, som trots en verksamhet som rörde sig över vida fält alltid behöll bibliophilens känsla för det estetiskt tilltalande, något som löper som en röd tråd genom hans produktion. Han presenteras i en särskilt avdelning och med en kort biografi. Trycken är kompletta och i gott antikvariskt skick, skurna och häftade i 8:o, samt bär pappomslag om ej annat anges. Betalning och sändning efter överenskommelse. Porto tillkommer vid postutskick. Använd gärna e-post vid beställning.

    Engineering and Urology Society 29th Annual Meeting Saturday May 17th, 2014 Orlando, FL http://engineering-urology.org/ The Engineering and Urology Society offers a unique opportunity for collaboration where engineering innovation meets clinical demand. This leads to an unparalleled exchange of ideas and routes to address clinical problems with engineering solutions. The ultimate forum where these interchanges occur is at the Annual Meeting of the Engineering and Urology Society held in conjunction with the Annual American Urological Association Meeting. The EUS meeting is also the only dedicated section of the Endourology Society at the AUA. The Annual Meeting of the Engineering and Urology Society offers the delegates an opportunity to present and learn about the latest research developments in urologic technology. The morning session consists of state of the art lectures and discussions in cutting-edge areas of technology. The afternoon poster sessions and ever-growing subgroup meetings allow members to present their work, discuss, and obtain further feedback and ideas from fellow technophiles. This year’s 29th Annual Meeting will take place on May 17th, and has been organized by program chairmen Stavros Gravas, Bodo Knudsen, and M. Pilar Laguna. The morning sessions will begin with a thought- provoking discussion on the intersection of lab training and new imaging technology and urology. Following that, the spotlight is turned to advances in evidence making in uro-technology. Next, colleagues from the European Association of Urology (EAU), Uro-Technology section (ESUT) will present developments for new endoscopic instrumentation. After the lunch break, a brand-new session on “Innovations in Urology” will be held at the Science & Technology Hall, highlighting the grant and patent application processes which are an integral part of engineering and urology.
