Introduction: Water is crucial for all aspects of life, the defining feature of our planet. Ninety seven and a half per cent of all water is found in the oceans, of the remaining freshwater only one percent is accessible for extraction and use. Functioning and healthy aquatic ecosystems provide us with a dazzling array of benefits – food, medicines, recreational amenity, shoreline protection, processing our waste, and sequestering carbon. At the beginning of the 21st century, the world faces a water

Hummingbirds are the second most diverse family of birds with about 340 known species. These little birds can travel vast distances; around 30 percent of hummingbird species migrate between the USA, Canada and Mexico. We do not know how migration is triggered. They are known to only reside in the western hemisphere. Hummingbirds have received relatively little attention from a conservation aspect, especially considering their commonplace and popularity with people. Scientists dilemma: unlike many

The blood or hemolymph, as in other arthropods, is carried in an open circulatory system.[3] The body organs, "heart" (dorsal aorta), muscles, etc. are surrounded in a reservoir of blood, and pulsing contractions of the tube-like dorsal aorta create a weak circulatory force. In fertilised queens the ovaries are activated when the queen lays her egg. It passes along the oviduct to the vagina. In the vagina there is a chamber called the spermatheca. This is where the queen stores sperm from her
