...respectively, this paper analysis the influence of Carson on their work and the results of the influence. Like Carson, David Suzuki was also a very famous Zoologist in Canada and the fame that he had was due to the various T.V. shows that he had done in order to promote environment conservation. In his book the ‘Sacred Balance’, he has discussed various issues related to the maintenance of the eco-balance and there is an account of many more which were similar to the ones raised in Carson’s book ‘Silent Springs’. Also, we see that initially there was an abundance of criticism related to technology and declining biological balance in the initial works of David however gradually we can see that the discussions that he does, moves towards the zoology and animals that have been impacted through the rise...

...Zoology is more than just animals. When I was little I wanted to work with animals. Most knows it’s a lot of work but it’s a lot of fun. They make a good amount of money and get to spend their days with animals. I want to work with animals to help them and see what makes them do what they do and how their brains work. What I would like to learn in a career about zoology, the salary, education needed, and my future outlook. In a career about zoology I would like to learn about how an animal's brain works and they do what they do. “They average salary per hour would be 27.74.” (says http://www.bls.gov) The education needed in order to do this job would be a bachelor’s degree. My job outlook would be to grow 4% but slower than the average occupation....

...your office being the great outdoors and interacting with animals on a daily basis you should consider becoming a zoologist. Zoology is a branch of biology that refers to the animal kingdom, including structure, classification, habits, and distribution of all animals, both living and extinct. Zoologist observe animals both in the wild and in laboratories in order to learn as much about them as they can. Because zoology is a very broad field of study one would typically choose a certain type of animal species to observe such as mammals or apes. Zoologist can study things such as the origin, development , behavior and interaction between animals and their environment. Educational Requirements- The minimum requirement to become a zoologist is a bachelor's degree. Some colleges offer 4-year programs focused on general zoology. Courses in these programs may include biology, animal behavior, vertebrate anatomy, physiology , and ecology. To receive a higher level position one would need a master’s or doctoral degree. It takes about 2 years to receive a master’s degree and 6 for a doctoral degree. A doctorate degree would allow you to conduct your own independent research. Recommended courses in high school are biology, chemistry, and physics. Mathematical and writing courses are important as well. Other skills necessary- Some skills significant for zoology are a good understanding of science, good writing and speaking skills (for your reports and observations), monitoring, patience...

...Earl Johnson Ms. Rose Kulich English 111.0020 15 October 2014 “The Way of Two Countries” The Czech Republic and Brazil are very different in many ways. Not only are their geographical locations different, but also the language and way of life. Both countries have many beauties, but have a long hard history to get that way. These countries are very different and unique in their own ways. Both countries are very unique and different in ways such as their wildlife, history, and attractions. Czech Republic is thought of to be full of buildings and human activity, but wildlife is present in this country. Of course there are mammals such as rodents and birds such as woodpeckers. There are animals located here that one cannot find in Brazil, for example the European Jackal. The European Jackal is also known as the Caucasian wolf and the reed wolf. The jackal is one of the rarest and least known native canids of Europe. The average size of both sexes is around 47-49 inches tall. The beautiful fur is usually coarse and brightly colored. Another animal of the Czech Republic is the European otter, there colors are usually brown on its upper body and cream on the bottom. Otters have a hard life of living due to pollution and the growth of pesticides used. Brazil’s wildlife shows more vibrant colors of those located in the cold Czech Republic. The Toco Toucan is a bird from the jungles of Brazil. Though the Toucan is listed on the threatened species list, they can still be found in...

...legends told in other parts of the world. While most legends are told and brushed off as simply crazy stories, the legend of Bigfoot has caused much debate and investigation into the truth behind the stories of the giant ape-like animal. Many scientists have studied the supposed evidence of Bigfoot and the stories that have been told about the creature. For years, the research into the existence of Bigfoot has gone on with no conclusive evidence being found to prove the existence or non-existence of such an animal. As the questions remain, the legend of Bigfoot lives on and continues to grow from year to year. The stories and evidence provided in this paper are all from David Jenkins’ personal collection and experiences. David Jenkins was my zoology teacher in tenth grade, my biology teacher in eleventh grade, and finally my marine biology teacher my senior year. Mr. Jenkins has gone to church with my family and I since I can remember. He is a science teacher by trade, but is also a legitimate Bigfoot researcher and is affiliated with the Bigfoot Field Research Organization. When I spoke to Mr. Jenkins in May 2013, that I would be writing a research paper on the subject of Bigfoot, he was more than pleased to help me. BIGFOOT: LEGEND OR FACT? 3 When people hear talk...

Jumping spiders of the family Salticidae are the most specious taxa in the Araneae, and cur- rently a total of 510 genera and more than 4600 species have been documented (Platnick 1998). However, the diversity of jumping spiders in Taiwan is poorly understood. Until very recently, only 18 species from 10 genera had been described, almost all of which were published in the 19th century (Chen 1996). Despite the fact that the diversity...

...Brian Jones Melanie Raite Biology 1103 November 3, 2012 DDT and Its Effects on Peregrine Falcons The Peregrine Falcon (Falco peregrinus), or Duck Hawk, is a medium-sized raptor weighing 2 to 2 ½ pounds. These remarkable birds of prey measure 15-21 inches and have a wingspan of about 3 ½ feet. Their name, Peregrine, comes from the Latin word peregrinus, which means “to wander”. The name fits, given that they have one of the longest migrations in North America and are found on every continent besides Antarctica. Peregrine Falcons hunt pigeons, crows, waterfowl, starlings, jays, and other small to medium sized birds. They are also known to hunt for bats and other small mammals (Defenders of Wildlife). They are best known for their spectacular hunting methods in which they catch their prey mid-air. If that is not impressive enough, they do it while plunging at speeds of up to 200 miles per hour, killing or stunning its prey instantly (National Geographic). What is even more impressive than any of this is the fact that the Peregrine Falcon was on the verge of extinction and has made a remarkable comeback. The cause of their brush with extinction was the result of the use of organochlorine pesticides, mainly dichloro-diphenyl-trichloroethane (DDT) (The Santa Cruz Predatory Bird Research Group). DDT was first synthesized in 1874. However, its effectiveness as an insecticide was not discovered until 1939. This discovery was made by Dr. Paul Herman Müller of Switzerland. Müller...

...The Effect of O2 Concentration on Chaoborus (Phantom Midge Larvae) ABSTRACT The aim of this investigation was to examine the effect the abiotic factor O2 concentration has on the abundance of Chaoborus, also known as the phantom midge larvae. This entailed using a net to catch the organism and counting them under timed conditions. The test was repeated in a vegetated and open area of water in order to be able to evaluate different oxygen concentrations. The abundance of phantom midge larvae was measured by manually counting and the concentration of oxygen at the two sites was measured using an oxygen probe. Results indicated that in open areas the number of midge larvae was vastly larger than that of vegetated areas; they had also confirmed that the area of open water had a lower O2 concentration as compared to the vegetated area. These results are fitting to the scientific background of Chaoborus, as they are known to inhabit water with less concentration of oxygen1. Further analysis of these results were conducted using a Mann-Whitney U-Test which proved there was a significant difference in the number of phantom midge larvae in the two areas for which the reason was the different concentrations of oxygen. RESEARCH & RATIONALE This aim of this investigation is to measure the effect Oxygen Concentration of fresh pond water, an abiotic factor, has on the number of Chaoborus (Phantom Midge Larvae) present by studying their abundance in areas of the pond which...

...ABSTRACT Geert Hofstede's legendary national culture research is critiqued. Crucial assumptions which underlie his claim to have uncovered the secrets of entire national cultures are described and challenged. The plausibility of systematically causal national cultures is questioned. Introduction Do nations have cultures? Within each of the ‘management disciplines’ there is a significant literature which assumes that each nation has a distinctive, influential, and describable ‘culture’ As Hickson and Pugh declare: '[i]t ‘shapes everything’ (1995: 90). Other than a priori belief, what is the basis of claims that influential national cultures exist? What is the quality of the evidence appealed to? Frequently, within the management disciplines, the causal-national-culture accepting literature justifies its reliance on the notion of national culture by citing approvingly the work of Geert Hofstede who claims to have successfully 'uncover[ed] the secrets of entire national cultures' (1980b: 44). Whilst Anderson has vividly described nations as ‘imagined communities’ (1991) and Wallerstein states that he is ‘skeptical that we can operationalise the concept of culture ... in any way that enables us to use it for statements that are more than trivial’ (1990: 34), Hofstede claims to have identified the four (later five) 'main dimensions' of national culture along which countries can be hierarchically ordered (1980a, 1984, 1991). By 1998 he could confidently claim that the scale...
