    As the common question has been asked before, where did the blue budgie color morphing first take place? The first appearance of the blue budgie color morphing first took place in 1878 in Brussels [1], then later reappeared dominantly in the Netherlands in the early 1880’s. Although the first color mutation was in the early 1880s, reproduction of the blue budgie gene was very unpredictable as scientists have documented. The first results in breeding the new blue budgies resulted in short life spans and high mortality rates. Once the “mutant gene” was stabilized 40 years later, birds could pass these genes on to the offspring.[2] The color mutations differ from the wild-type colorations because the wild-type colorations are mostly just the lighter green and the yellow to fit in with the tree tops and…

    The brown recluse spider lives inside houses as well as in its surroundings. Inside homes, the arachnid lives in dark places, such as cracks, corners, seldom used clothes, curtains and inside furniture. Yet, it is very common for a spider to get trapped in showers and bathtubs because of their smooth surface, and there have been lots of cases in which spiders bit the legs of a person who was having a bath. Outdoors, the BRS is usually located underneath rocks or within hollow woods. If you live in areas where the BRS lives, you must be careful when manipulating garden objects such as boxes, piles of wood, pots, etc.…

    Frogs and other amphibians are important for several reasons. One reason is that they are an integral part of the food chain, as they serve as both predator and prey (What Do Frogs). Without them, the ecosystems they live in would suffer. For example, frogs feed on pests, such as mice or insects, which infest human homes and consume crops. Without frogs and toads to feed on them, the populations of such pests would grow rapidly. Many of their prey even spread diseases, like mosquitos which spread malaria, so frogs play a direct role in keeping humans healthy. Tadpoles, juvenile frogs and toads, clean waterways by feeding on algae, which cuts down on costs that would otherwise be needed for water filtration (Why We Must). Additionally, frogs also serve as prey for a variety of organisms, from predatory birds, fish, and snakes, to larger insects, other frogs, humans, and more. If frogs die out, all of their predators would have to cope with a lack of food sources as well (What Do Frogs). Furthermore, because amphibians live in both water and land, they play key roles in transferring nutrients between the two. Without them, all organisms in their environments would suffer. Food webs such as this are simply too interconnected for the loss of one creature not to affect the rest, especially not creatures as vital as amphibians (Amphibian…

    In the past few years, citizens of Minnesota have discovered deformed frogs scattered throughout the state. There are many speculations as to how the frogs got such deformities. Some scientists believe that its something in the waters of the Minnesota wetlands, other factors could be parasites or ultraviolet radiation. Minnesota is not the only location in the world that has reported deformed animal sightings, but almost three-quarters of the deformed frogs were reported in Minnesota. This is not necessarily because Minnesota contains the most deformed frogs, because scientists are unsure if that is true. Residents of Minnesota are most aware to the problem, so they are basically looking out for the frogs. Deformed frogs are most commonly missing limbs, have extra limbs, or have some bent limbs. Also, there are internal deformities that one would not be able to tell just from looking at the frog. These include digestive and urinary problems, and a slow ability to eat, avoid predators, and move. Because of this most frogs do not survive the winter, and if they do, deformed frogs do not advance on to a second year of living. Deformities do not occur in all frogs, the most common frogs with these malfunctions include the wood frog, American toad, and the northern leopard frog. Since deformed frogs have been found in ponds and both the urban and rural parts of Minnesota, scientists have concluded that well water can produce such malfunctions. Several tests have been preformed on the water that Minnesota residents are drinking and nothing has been found. The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency and the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences have been performing tests to help solve the problem of deformed frogs in Minnesota.…

    The Cane Toad is native to the Amazon Basin which is located in South America. The Cane Toad was first introduced to Florida to control pests that would inhabit the sugar cane crops between the 1930s to the 1940s. It is said that the reason of the overgrowing population of the Cane Toad is because of the illegal pet trade in the 1950s and 1960s. The Cane Toad can be found in the urban, suburban, and agricultural parts of Florida.
