9 de mayo. Día de la aves migratorias

por Patricia4 mayo 2020

Por nuestros cielos pasan dos vías migratorias europeas, convirtiendo la península ibérica en un enclave excepcional para observar el tránsito de las aves. Desde el año 2006, el 2º sábado de mayo y de octubre se celebra el Día Mundial de las aves migratorias, una ocasión para acercar el mundo de las aves a nuestras aulas.
Las aves, en general y las migratorias en particular,  son indicadores de la salud del planeta y del funcionamiento de los ecosistemas. El cambio climático, la desaparición de los humedales y otras alteraciones provocadas por la actividad humana como la agricultura intensiva y la caza ilegal, amenazan la supervivencia de cientos de especies que cumplen una función reguladora en los ecosistemas.

Vocabulary: digging: excavar
                     chewing: masticar
                      lapping: lamer.

p 178: What do insects use antennae for?¿Para qué utilizan las antenas los insectos?


p 178: The mouthparts of insects. Aparatos bucales en insectos.

 Insects exhibit a range of mouthparts, adapted to particular modes of feeding. The earliest insects had chewing mouthparts. Specialization has mostly been for piercing and sucking, although a range of specializations exist, as these modes of feeding have evolved a number of times (for example, mosquitoes (which are flies) and aphids (which are true bugs) both pierce and suck, however female mosquitoes feed on animal blood whereas aphids feed on plant fluids). 
Los insectos muestran gran variedad de aparatos bucales, adaptados a su forma particular de alimentarse .Los más primitivos tenían piezas masticadoras. La especialización se ha realizado fundamentalmente hacia la boca picadora y chupadora, con algunas modificaciones: las hembras de mosquito se alimentan de sangre y los áfidos de la savia elaborada de las plantas.

The mouthparts are adapted to the different types of food that insects eat:
Los aparatos bucales están adaptados a los diferentes tipos de alimentación.
A. chewing: masticadora
B. lapping: lamedora
C. Siphoning: chupadora
D. Piercing and sucking: picadora-chupadora.


1. Say one example for each type of mouthpart. Look for them in your book and in the following presentation (pon un ejemplo de cada tipo, mira en tu libro o en la siguiente presentación):

2. Copy two the drawings of the types of mouthparts (p 178)     (copia dos de los dibujos de los aparatos bucales de los insectos)

3. Can you say any example of harmful and benefitial effects of insects?(¿Puedes poner algunos  ejemplo de los efectos perjudiciales y beneficiosos de los insectos? Mira en tu libro y en la presentación anterior)

4. Escribe un breve resumen de este vídeo:

5. ¿Cuáles son las principales amenazas que ponen en peligro a las abejas? Mira este vídeo atentamente:

Las abejas, gracias a su cuerpo cubierto de pelos, transportan fácilmente el polen desde las partes masculinas de una flor hasta las partes femeninas, ya sean de la misma planta o de otras alejadas. Así ocurre la reproducción en muchas especies vegetales, como la fresa, cuyo fruto requiere al menos 21 visitas de abejas para ser grande y sabroso, según los cálculos de Naciones Unidas. Las abejas no son los únicos insectos polinizadores, pero son vitales en cultivos como la alfalfa, las almendras, los pepinos y las fresas.

La Unión Europea está preocupada. En los últimos años, diferentes estudios científicos han señalado el declive de las abejas, asediadas por una multitud de amenazas: la destrucción de su hábitat, el uso abusivo de algunos pesticidas hoy prohibidos temporalmente en la UE, la invasora avispa asiática que ataca las colmenas, el ácaro Varroa que chupa sus líquidos internos, el parásito Nosema apis que afecta a su aparato digestivo, el cambio climático. Y el principal problema es que se desconoce qué está pasando realmente. Faltan datos.

El impacto del 94% de las especies exóticas marinas se desconoce

El cangrejo verde europeo y la macroalga ‘Caulerpa cylindracea’ son las más perjudiciales para la biodiversidad.

Una investigación publicada en la revista Nature Ecology & Evolution, afirma que solo se conoce el efecto en la biodiversidad del 6% de las especies exóticas marinas. El desplazamiento de estos grupos de fauna fuera de sus rangos geográficos nativos ha aumentado en las últimas cinco décadas, convirtiéndose así en una de las principales amenazas ambientales.

De las 1.260 especies exóticas registradas en el GRIIS (Global Register of Introduced and Invasive Species), solo 76 han sido cuantificadas en el estudio para analizar sus consecuencias en el medio ambiente, lo que significa que los efectos de la mayoría de las especies exóticas, en torno a un 94%, no han sido cuantificados rigurosamente. Esto es debido a dos factores como apunta la investigadora de la King Abdullah University of Science and Technology, Andrea Anton, primera autora del estudio: "La falta de medios y recursos en las universidades y centros de investigación y la dificultad de estudiar las especies que no son abundantes”, explica. Julia Santana, también autora e investigadora del Institut Mediterrani d'Estudis Avançats (IMEDEA), añade que el impacto ecológico de las demás es, en casi todos los casos, modesto por lo que “cabe la posibilidad de que los resultados de algunas investigaciones no se hayan divulgado debido al sesgo hacia la publicación de resultados significativos por parte de las revistas científicas”.

El análisis global del impacto de las especies exóticas sobre los ecosistemas marinos de forma sistemática ha sido una de las claves del estudio, ya que no se había podido observar anteriormente en ninguna otra investigación. Aunque su presencia en ciertos entornos tiene consecuencias ecológicas desastrosas, como por ejemplo la desaparición de otras especies nativas, la magnitud de estos impactos es mínima comparada con los efectos que tienen que ver con las amenazas del ser humano, como, por ejemplo, la pesca, según la investigación. En general, los descubrimientos indican que, analizadas en conjunto, estas reducen significativamente las propiedades ecológicas de las comunidades nativas marinas. Sin embargo, la mayoría tienen unos efectos modestos en los entornos marinos e incluso pueden llegar a ser efectos positivos.

“Cabe la posibilidad de que los resultados de algunas investigaciones no se hayan divulgado debido al sesgo hacia la publicación de resultados significativos por parte de las revistas científicas”

La principal autora de la investigación comenta que los resultados cuantitativos de este trabajo “contribuyen a resolver el debate actual sobre si el efecto ecológico de las especies exóticas se basa en impactos o en percepciones”. Además, con él se podrá identificar las más invasivas en los ecosistemas marinos y, por ende, se podrá establecer un control sobre ellas y su posible erradicación, de esta forma "se priorizan las especies exóticas invasoras y sus vías de introducción, se controlarán o erradicarán las especies prioritarias, y se habrán establecerán medidas para gestionar las vías de introducción a fin de evitar su introducción y establecimiento". 

El impacto de las especies estudiadas varía dependiendo de la localidad y el tiempo donde se analice. Sin embargo, los productores primarios (plantas, algas y bacterias que producen materia orgánica) y depredadores exóticos han resultado tener los efectos más significativos en los entornos en los que se encuentran, clasificándose como los grupos más disruptivos de todas las especies exóticas marinas. En cambio, los productores primarios y los grupos de diferentes ejemplares nativos marinos en un mismo sistema, son los conjuntos de especies que se han visto más afectados.

El estudio se ha centrado en 19 de las especies exóticas que fueron escogidas por tener al menos tres estudios cuantitativos realizados sobre ellos y que, según Núria Marbà, investigadora científica del IMEDEA, “cumplían nuestro criterio de selección, permitiendo de esta forma un análisis de efectos ecológicos más robusto e individual”. Los investigadores concluyen que solo dos de estas han sido las que han tenido un efecto ecológico negativo significativo: el cangrejo verde europeo y la macroalga Caulerpa cylindracea. El primero “es nativo en Europa y el norte de África y su forma de introducirse en otros entornos es mediante el lastre de los barcos” explica el científico del IMEDEA Scott Bennett. Tiene unos efectos más negativos sobre sus presas, como por ejemplo las almejas y otros bivalvos. En cambio, la macroalga Caulerpa cylindracea, nativa de Australia occidental y que se puede encontrar en el Mediterráneo, ejerce los mayores efectos negativos sobre la abundancia y diversidad de otras macroalgas.

Animal Senses

 From:  http://www.cracked.com/article_19952_the-6-most-mind-blowing-animal-senses.html

Vampire bats are the only mammals that subsist entirely on blood -- otherwise, we'd just call them "bats." Getting their nightly blood dinner, however, requires a supersense that you probably didn't even know existed.

That nose that God forgot actually can sense the heat of your blood flowing through your veins.
Its nose-lip combo contains infrared heat cells that can sense the warmth of the blood at a distance. The crazy part is that they know where the best veins are.
Their system for heat detection is so efficient that they don't waste time. The vampire bat hones right in on the vein, first time, every time.

 "Gross, these pork chops are still raw!"

Catfish Are Giant Swimming Tongues

Yes, catfish are just huge, fish-shaped tongues, continuously licking our waterways.
The average person has about 10,000 taste buds, all in about the same place -- the mouth. According to one neurophysiologist who happens to be a catfish expert, a small 6-inch catfish can have over 250,000 taste receptors located all over its body. Or as he put it, it'd be like "if the tip of your tongue grew out and covered your body." Which is to say, you cannot touch a catfish somewhere where it cannot taste you.
Can you imagine walking through a room and tasting THE ROOM as you went by? That's what it's like to be a catfish ... all day and all night. Water pollution? Tasted it. The collective pees and poops of all the water animals in its vicinity? He tastes that shit in his sleep -- literally. There is nowhere for this animal to hide from the taste of the nastiness around him.
Of course, the catfish's sense of taste is how it locates and tracks down its food. Most of its taste buds are concentrated on its Fu Manchu mustache*, which kind of acts like a taste antenna as it swims through the current, tasting for the putrid slime trail of some prey it can swallow up

A Narwhal's Tusk Is a Huge Sensory Organ

 For years, scientists have wondered what the hell was up with narwhals, the bizarre creatures that look like manatees, only with gigantic horns growing from their skulls. Are they the unicorns of the sea, and if so, do you need a human virgin to trap them? These are the questions that even science can't answer.

What we have figured out is what's up with the narwhal's single tusk. For one thing, it's not a tusk -- it's a tooth. One long, weird, spiral tooth. But what we didn't know until recently was that the narwhal's tooth is covered with 10 million nerve endings. It's not a weapon or a hunting tool , as previously assumed. It's a sensory organ capable of things we're just now starting to figure out.

A Spookfish Can Hunt and Keep a Lookout Simultaneously, With Mirrorvision

If you had to guess which parts of that nightmare are its eyes , you'd go for those big orange spheres. But the reality is much cooler than that.
You see, fish that live in the endless night of the  depths face a problem: they have to look for food while staying alert against their own predators. You almost need eyes in the back of your head ... or the ability to look up and down at the same time. This fish does that, with internal mirrors.

The spookfish has split eyes, so it can see in both directions at once -- it's literally like having eyes in the back of its head. It's actually not a separate pair of eyes, but a complicated system that uses a curved mirror of reflective plates to collect the miniscule bits of light to be found a half-mile under the surface. So it's less like having eyes in the back of your head and more like having a pair of those sunglasses with mirrors that let you see behind you. It is the only vertebrate creature on earth that does this.
It makes a little more sense looking at it from the side:

The eyes are going the opposite direction you think -- the little black eyes on the bottom are looking up, for food. The big "eyes" on top are actually the backs of this mirrored surface, which collect little flashes of bioluminescence below that signal a predator is coming (the spookfish is vulnerable from below, something else useful to know if you ever have to fight a giant one).

Dolphins Use Holographic Imaging to See Inside You

  Everyone loves dolphins. They're playful, lovable and intelligent, and they rarely ever kill just for the fun of it. But when they do decide to murder you, they have some state-of-the-art equipment to help them.

You may know already that dolphins have sonar that is far superior to their vision, creating their adorable dolphin sounds and detecting how they bounce back. In fact, the sounds they hear create a kind of holographic image in their minds. As in, they perceive echoes as 3-D shapes and textures. Dolphins can "see" sound. And if that wasn't cool (or weird) enough, they can look right inside of you.
That is, their ultrasonic clicks penetrate flesh, giving them an X-ray view of your bones and innards. A talent that they've been known to employ when killing other creatures, because they will target vital organs when they attack.
How accurate is it? Well, tests for sensitivity show that they can distinguish between two objects that differed in width by the length of a human hair from 26 feet. Oh, and they can stun fish with concentrated bursts of sound, too. That's supervillain level, right there.

 

VERTEBRATES

Mammals

 

The diversity of mammals is amazing. They can be as huge as these whales,or as tiny as this cute little balancing mouse. They can be noisy like this howler monkey, or quiet like this hedgehog with its sharp, pointy spines.
Even though they’re amazingly diverse, all mammals have a number of common characteristics you should know about, so you can recognize and differentiate them.
All mammals are viviparous, they are born from their mothers’ womb. In their early stages of life, they feed on milk, which they get from their mothers' breasts where the mammary glands are. And that’s why they’re called mammals. And when they’re little, they’re so cute, aren’t they?
Mammals reproduce by internal fertilization when a sperm cell and an egg join inside the female.
As you can see, they have teeth inside their mouths, and lips around them so they can eat and suck milk.
Most mammals’ bodies are covered with hair, and all mammals breathe with their lungs, even if they live in the sea. Look at these dolphins coming to the surface for air.
The body temperature of mammals doesn’t depend on whether it’s cold or hot outside, because they can maintain their own internal temperature.
Almost all mammals are terrestrial, like camels, and jaguars. Some live in the sea and are called Marine mammals,like these dolphins,and these seals,There's even a flying mammal, bats are the only mammal that flies.
Mammals have four limbs, which vary depending on where they live. Land mammals have legs,so they can walk,and run when they need to,and Jump.,and sometimes even climb.
Marine mammals have fins so they can swim very fast...
And flying mammals have wings so they can fly through the sky...
Do you know which is the most wonderful mammal that lives on Earth?Human beings! People are mammals too...

How mammals feed
Depending on what they eat, mammals can be classified into different groups.
Herbivores only eat plants and their teeth are especially designed for grinding. Horses, sheep and llamas are herbivorous mammals. Some very special herbivores are called ruminants. They swallow their food almost without chewing it, and some of it is digested normally, but some of it is stored in their stomach, and when they want to, they regurgitate it into their mouth to digest it again. Cows, giraffes and goats are ruminants.
Carne means skin or meat in Latin, and that’s what carnivores eat: the flesh of other animals. Their teeth are large and sharp for hunting and tearing at their food.
Carnivores that eat insects and other invertebrates are called insectivores,like these anteaters.
Omnivorous mammals feed on both meat and plants. Bears, monkeys and humans are omnivores: we can eat a tasty burger with lettuce and tomato.
 So, let's remember,
Mammals are viviparous, and in their early stages of life they feed on milk from their mother’s breasts,They have lips and breathe with their lungs,Their body temperature does not depend on the environment they are in, and depending on their food sources, they may be herbivores, carnivores or omnivores.

Birds

 

They are so diverse, and there are so many colors and shapes, it's fun to learn about them. For example, this tiny little hummingbird doesn’t look anything like this huge ostrich. And these penguins don’t look much like this peacock with its large fan-shaped tail. Well, they may not look alike, but they’re all birds, and have many things in common.
Birds are oviparous... which as you know, means that they reproduce by laying eggs. The females lay the eggs in nests, in the rocks... or on the ground... And with the heat of their bodies, they incubate the eggs until the little chicks hatch.
Birds don’t have teeth, they have beaks or bills... And these can be very different, depending on what that species of bird feeds on.
They breathe with their lungs, that are connected to... bags full of air... called air sacs... and these help birds to fly. Also, nature, which is very clever, has made their bones hollow, so they weigh very little, and because of this it’s much easier for them to fly.
The skin of birds is covered with feathers: these protect them from the cold and heat. Birds have four limbs, the back ones are legs... and the front ones are wings. Together, the wings and feathers are essential for them to be able to fly... and in some cases... so they can swim.
Birds are terrestrial and most of them can fly. Can you think of any birds that can’t fly? That’s right!!! Penguins and ostriches are two species of birds that cannot fly.
Birds have four types of feathers: those that cover the whole body; flight feathers in the wings that help them to fly; down feathers, which cover the chest and belly and maintain the body at a constant temperature; and tail feathers that help guide the birds’ body like a rudder on a boat.
Birds can be classified into several groups, according to what they eat: herbivores feed on plants and grasses – their beaks are short and strong, and can crush seeds and grains. When they only eat grains, they are called granivores.
Carnivorous birds hunt and eat other animals, using their strong, curved beaks. Within the group of carnivores there are insectivores, that only eat insects, and piscivores that only feed on fish. These birds have pointed beaks that are long and sharp to help them catch the fish. Remember - birds that eat fish are called piscivorous.
The last group - omnivorous birds - includes pigeons and hens, and they eat almost anything.
So remember: birds are oviparous, which means they reproduce by laying eggs; their mouths are beaks or bills and they breathe with their lungs; their skin is covered with feathers; and depending on the food they eat, they can be herbivorous... carnivorous... or omnivorous.
 So, now you know a lot more about birds.

REPTILES

Reptiles are vertebrate animals which are characterized by their special way of moving: many move by dragging their tummy, or abdomen, on or close to the ground; their name,
in Latin, means just that: reptar mean to crawl or slither.
Many are terrestrial, but there are also some that live in water.
All reptiles have a number of characteristics we should know about so we can recognize them. Reptiles are cold-blooded animals
that breathe with their lungs.
They are oviparous, that is they reproduce by eggs; when the eggs develop and hatch, the babies are just like their parents...
but very small. Aren’t they cute?
As you can see, reptiles’ skin is covered with strong, tough scales, and some, like tortoises, even have a shell. It looks like he has his house on his back, doesn’t it?
As for feeding well, most reptiles are carnivorous... They hunt,
like this crocodile which has just eaten this poor rodent;
or this cute chameleon, with its long, sticky tongue that catches all kinds of insects... Look, look! As we said already,
most reptiles are carnivorous, but some, like this iguana, are herbivorous.
There are lots of interesting things you should know about reptiles,
such as: most snakes have venom in their fangs...
But they’re not as bad as they seem, because they warn us of danger with their bright colors or the sound of their rattles.
Chameleons are very curious: they can change color, copying the landscape around them they blend in with the background so no-one can see them, and they become almost invisible.
So let’s remember the most important characteristics of reptiles.
Reptiles walk by dragging their tummy on or close to the ground;
they are oviparous and their body is covered with strong, hard scales...
They are vertebrates and are cold-blooded... And remember, they breathe with their lungs. Reptiles really are quite interesting, aren’t they? Well, goodbye for now everyone,
