  • Evolution of Oviductal Gestation in Amphibians MARVALEE H
    THE JOURNAL OF EXPERIMENTAL ZOOLOGY 266394-413 (1993) Evolution of Oviductal Gestation in Amphibians MARVALEE H. WAKE Department of Integrative Biology and Museum of Vertebrate Zoology, University of California,Berkeley, California 94720 ABSTRACT Oviductal retention of developing embryos, with provision for maternal nutrition after yolk is exhausted (viviparity) and maintenance through metamorphosis, has evolved indepen- dently in each of the three living orders of amphibians, the Anura (frogs and toads), the Urodela (salamanders and newts), and the Gymnophiona (caecilians). In anurans and urodeles obligate vivi- parity is very rare (less than 1%of species); a few additional species retain the developing young, but nutrition is yolk-dependent (ovoviviparity) and, at least in salamanders, the young may be born be- fore metamorphosis is complete. However, in caecilians probably the majority of the approximately 170 species are viviparous, and none are ovoviviparous. All of the amphibians that retain their young oviductally practice internal fertilization; the mechanism is cloaca1 apposition in frogs, spermato- phore reception in salamanders, and intromission in caecilians. Internal fertilization is a necessary but not sufficient exaptation (sensu Gould and Vrba: Paleobiology 8:4-15, ’82) for viviparity. The sala- manders and all but one of the frogs that are oviductal developers live at high altitudes and are subject to rigorous climatic variables; hence, it has been suggested that cold might be a “selection pressure” for the evolution of egg retention. However, one frog and all the live-bearing caecilians are tropical low to middle elevation inhabitants, so factors other than cold are implicated in the evolu- tion of live-bearing.

  • Pip Pip Cheerio! a Baby Chick Is Hatching Ever Wonder How a Baby Bird Gets out of Its Egg? It Has Got to Require Some Hard Work for Such a Tiny Little Animal
    Pip Pip Cheerio! A Baby Chick is Hatching Ever wonder how a baby bird gets out of its egg? It has got to require some hard work for such a tiny little animal. Luckily, chicks are equipped with a handy dandy tool built into their beaks called an egg tooth. An egg tooth grows at the very tip of the beak. They are very small and sharp enough to help break through the shell of the egg. This is called pipping. Learn what it’s like to pip through an eggshell with this fun art activity. You will need: ● Two pieces of paper, any color will work, but white is the easiest to decorate! ● Markers, crayons, or colored pencils ● Scissors ● Glue (a glue stick will work well!) or double sided tape ● Optional: tweezers, spoon, fork, or other tools. Instructions: Step 1: Draw out an egg shape on the paper Step 2: Cut out two egg shaped pieces of paper about the same size *Helpful note: you can make them the same size by putting the two pieces of paper together and cutting them out at the same time Step 3: Decorate one side of the egg to make your chick! Get creative with your decorations but centering your chick’s face will give you the best results. The other piece will be the eggshell, which you can also decorate! *Helpful note: You will be ripping this paper later, so keep the decorations to the outside edges. Step 4: Take your chick paper and glue all around its edge; if you are using double-sided tape, tape around the edges.

  • Life Cycle of a Bird Bob White Quail Bob White Quail Are Birds That Were Once Commonly Seen in Texas
    Life Cycle of a Bird Bob White Quail Bob White Quail are birds that were once commonly seen in Texas. The population of these quail has steadily been declining over the last several decades—since the 1960’s. Bob White Quail are one of four types of quail found in Texas. They get their name for the sound they make—it sounds like they are saying “Bob White” when they whistle. Quail are considered an indicator species. Their presence means the ecosystem is healthy and thriving. Most people agree that loss of habitat is the main contributor to the quail decline. Now that we are aware of this problem, there are efforts across the state to help restore the population in some areas. Long Acres Ranch is one of those places. Quail are ground birds and hang out in groups called a coveys. They live in areas that mainly open but have sections of bunch grasses to run and hide in. At night, the quail will gather in a circle, with their tail feathers together to sleep. Why do you think they do this? Quail are shaped like pears with small heads and bigger bodies. Even though they can fly short distances, they spend most of their lives on the ground. What is a disadvantage for them being ground birds? Male quail have a white stripe on their face. The female quail are various shades of brown. Why do you think male birds are more attractive than female birds? Adult quail eat mostly forbs but occasionally will find a worm or small bug and that is a treat! Baby quail eat mostly insects.

  • Occurrence and Timing of Egg Teeth in Birds
    OCCURRENCE AND TIMING OF EGG TEETH IN BIRDS GEORGE A. CLARK, JR. HE egg tooth is a small tooth-like protuberance on the distal end of the T dorsal surface of the upper mandible at the time of hatching. It is generally believed that the egg tooth functions in cutting through the shell membranes and shell at hatching. In addition to egg teeth on the upper mandible, a number of authors have noted tooth-like modifications of various kinds at the tip of the lower mandible in embryos or newly hatched birds of a variety of families. The objective of this paper is to present an extended review of scattered records of egg teeth as a stimulus and aid for further studies on the morphology, function, development, and evolution of these structures. In spite of the great significance of hatching in the life of the bird, very little is known of the causal relations involved in the process. Certain correlated events such as respiratory, circulatory, and behavioral changes are known, but in no case have the factors responsible for the timing of hatching been specifi- cally identified. The role of the egg tooth in hatching also needs further study. Fisher (1953) studied the development in the chicken of the hatching muscle which may be important in the functionin g of the egg tooth. It has been sug- gested that the hatching muscle provides a major part of the thrust in breaking through the shell. The egg tooth is possibly unique as a structure functional only at the time of hatching.

  • Vietnam Association of Geodesy, Cartography and Remote Sensing (VGCR)
    BIDDING PROPOSAL FIG WORKING WEEK 2017 Submit By: Vietnam Association of Geodesy, Cartography and Remote Sensing (VGCR) Hanoi - Vietnam, 20 November 2013 Expression of Interest Letter by the President of Vietnam Association of Geodesy, Cartography and Remote Sensing (VGCR) Dear FIG Council, Firstly, I would like to thank the FIG’s Leaders for your kind invitation to the bidding to host the FIG Working Week 2017 & FIG Congress 2018. Secondly, please allow me to introduce briefly - the Vietnam Association of Geodesy, Cartography and Remote Sensing as a member association of FIG. We used to organize successfully “The 7th FIG regional Conference 19-22 October 2009 on Spatial data Serving people”. Moreover, VGCR has collaborated with Asian Remote Sensing Association to organize two conferences on “Asian Remote Sensing” in 2005 and 2010. In addition, as a member of FIG, we attended many FIG conferences, especially the Working Week and Congress and has learned from them many experiences for FIG’s event organization. It is also our honor & prestige if we are selected to host the FIG Working Week 2017 in Hanoi, on the special occasion of 30th anniversary of our association. More than important, becoming the host country for FIG Working Week is a great opportunity for Vietnam to propagate our achievements & our progress in the field of surveying & data management. Especially, it would be considered as an important chance for us: the circle of Vietnamese professionals, experts, and surveyors to approach to the world’s scholars as well as the occasion that the world experts can help Vietnam to realize all our concerns & issues as the fact that Vietnam is one of the most five countries in the world being suffering consequences from climate changes, especially the threat of sea level rise.
