I recently participated in an “English Report Writing” training, sponsored of course by my employer, and this post will function as a test to see how well I was focussed on the lecture (instead of the sky outside the seminar room which may hold a black stork any day during spring migration). Like … the Tufted Duck !
Hore & Henrik Mouritsen of Universität Oldenburg, Germany, have just published a paper in Nature called “ Anthropogenic electromagnetic noise disrupts magnetic compass orientation in a migratory bird ”. Svenja Engels, Nils-Lasse Schneider, Nele Lefeldt, Christine Maira Hein, Manuela Zapka, Andreas Michalik, Dana Elbers, Achim Kittel, P.
While this bird is not uncommon in Germany, I have only seen this species once in the region around Bonn (which I should probably blame in part on the infrequency of my birding outings). While experiments have shown that some birds (like crows and parrots) can count, this rule unsurprisingly did not hold when subjected to testing.
The best test of that proposition, of course, is to repeat it to any one of the hundreds of thousands of birders who have, say, a family. Please consider using the services described in this post or any of the other posts we are sharing this February.
Given how far Hokkaido is from Europe, it seems a bit surprising how many bird species wintering on this Japanese island have a name starting with “Eurasian” Or how many of these species I have also seen in my parents’ garden in Germany. One would hope that in Germany, the situation is a bit different.
In the late 80s I was invited by Zeiss to go to Wetzlar in Germany to see the company’s binoculars being manufactured, an invitation that was too good to refuse. I was one of a small group of journalists, each of whom was presented with the latest Dialyt 10×40 inscribed with our initials.
For long it was assumed that the saplings cannot survive being under water half a year, from spring to August, but recently another theory was tested. The colony is still big, as Naziridis told me, but the total number is now lower due to willows dying out without young saplings to replace them.
Germany is currently experiencing its hottest June and July ever, and temperatures in the last few weeks have rarely been below 33°C (91°F), sometimes reaching nearly 40°C (103°F). It’s bad. Relative field marks put the one species of the pair in relation to the other, e.g. longer legs, brighter red on mantle and so on.
It’s no coincidence that the two species that pass Hare’s pointing test also share a profound cross-species bond. But scientists had carried out few studies to test those beliefs–until now. Kaminski put Rico to a rigorous test and confirmed that the dog could learn names for more than 200 toys, balls and other items.
I saw them at Ayers Rock which while I was there had the worst floods in memory (my parents in Germany thought I must be traveling under a bad star, as they heard about these floods in the German news and knew I was there at that time). .” Funny how the difficulty of breeding a species can be illustrated in simple monetary terms.
Predictably, it contained few surprises (and no lifers either) as Germany took lock-down regulations seriously and travel, even locally, was next to impossible throughout most of the year. There is no “masked” anything here in Germany. ” And the corvids all miss the mark by a single letter. .”
Second note: Inner Mongolia has a land area larger than that of France and Germany combined, and I only spent one week there. ” The range of the Eurasian Bullfinch stretches from Iberia to Siberia – and that means that I have seen it in my parents’ garden in Germany as well as here in Inner Mongolia.
She lives part-time in Uruguay and is co-director of the Fiction Meets Science program at the University of Bremen, Germany, which seeks to bridge the “two cultures” of science and literature. The novel works, mostly, and who better than Gaines to make it so? But, well aware of the risks of “gene overlap” in parents, they have a plan.
Although a few unexpected hick-ups occurred, such as significant travel delays (which have become the norm when using Germany’s trains) and positive Covid tests that prevented some family members from joining, it was refreshing to spend some time somewhere else, particularly in a scenic and relaxing environment like the Tegernsee.
Bird Watchers and Technology A Way of Jungle Birding A Brief Interview with Al Levantin Best Bird of the Weekend (Fourth of August 2009) About the Author Mike Mike is a leading authority in the field of standardized test preparation, but what he really aspires to be is a naturalist.
” (source: Fritz Hillenbrand, Underground Humour in Nazi Germany: 1933-1945, Routledge: London). In science speak, this then results in the following conclusion: “Results from individual subject tests were interpreted as reflecting species-specific approach/avoidance behaviors. ” Sounds more sophisticated, right?
One of the established ways to evaluate self-cognition in animals (including humans) is the mirror test. In the classic test, an animal is anesthetized and then marked on an area of the body the animal cannot normally see. I wonder if the color blue has some politically incorrect associations. Their chicks are kind of cute though.
