Collin Raynaud Winter 2009 Mon‚ 12-2 Insects‚ Food? Introduction: Insects have been here long before human civilization‚ foraging the world and utilizing its nutrients. In a sense then‚ every human being ever has been forced to interact with insects‚ so then why has this “household” item not been utilized as a food source for humans? Well‚ that’s not entirely true. Entomophagy‚ according to Webster’s Dictionary‚ is the practice of eating insects. Using insects as a food source isn’t

This termite can be found all over North America‚ and is the most common termite in the region of North America. This termite is the most destructive wood eating insect in North America and because of this‚ they are called pests. They are commonly found in Ontario Canada‚ and in eastern states of the United States. The termite eats many wood or cellulose materials such as wood buildings‚ paper‚ wooden fixtures‚ and

the universe‚ nor material objects (well‚ as far as we know anyways). The only two traits that are left to define culture are simply the aspects of knowledge and hierarchies. The passage of knowledge is noted in chimpanzees‚ such as the skill of termite fishing is passed down from the mother (Lonsdorf) or other behaviors‚ like leaf sponges (Tonooka) or stone uses (Benito-Calvo). Hierarchy indeed exists amongst the male chimpanzees‚ but there isn’t much to say about the hierarchy system as it isn’t

This paper examines the following in particular: elephants‚ armadillos‚ termites‚ butterflies‚ penguins‚ hummingbirds‚ starfishes‚ and sand dollars. These species not only divide upon the two the same equivalence in characteristics‚ setting them apart from other species‚ but includes the fact that all are generally eukaryotic

While some Chimpanzees use their hands‚ sticks usually made of vegetation or wood (Sanz et. al 1). For example‚ one study found that chimpanzees between the Republic of Congo and Cameroon modified their sticks to adjust to differences in termite nests. Termites can be located in grass‚ trees‚ or soil and differ in their organization (Sanz et. al 1). Chimpanzees may use different strategies with these tools‚ using them to puncture

Corbin Gleason ENVS 385 Dr. Wegner 05/05/13 Biomimicry: The Key to Biophilic Design Biophilia and biomimicry are very analogous and often confused‚ but they are not identical principles. Biophilia posits that “human health and well-being has a biologically based need to affiliate with nature”‚ applied to design and architecture it refers to incorporating natural elements into the design of buildings and other structures. Biomimicry is a big part of biophilic design in that it seeks to incorporate

would be that it simply uses nature as a guide to make human practices less harmful to the environment. A couple of examples of implementing biomimicry are the uses of non-toxic adhesives‚ inspired by geckos (energy efficient buildings inspired by termite mounds)‚ and resistance-free antibiotics‚ inspired by red seaweed. Biomimicry is a term that derives from “bionics”. Bionics has the same basic principle of biomimicry; it uses nature as a guide. However‚ bionics does not include the sustainability
