I was doing my thesis research at the time, and it even affected what I was doing, as the wild world was being reconceptualized in terms of tannins and alkaloids, seed edators and dispersers, and so on. I remember taking an advanced seminar in plant-animal interaction, in preparation for my own study of human-plant interactions.

I want to talk about this research but if you really want to know more about it, don’t rely on me; one of the co-authors of this important paper is Darren Naish, who happens to be a stupendous blogger, and he has written the research up here. So, for example, humans are apes. Meanwhile I have a few random thoughts. 1204026109).

Early research suggested that “Fragmented distributions and population bottlenecks due to human activities appear to have increased genetic differentiation among populations” (Leberg 1991). Which would be weird. I find that a little surprising since it is our national bird. Have a happy Thanksgiving! __ Sources: Badenhorst, Shaw, et.

There were three profound questions my birding group discussed while we birded Trinidad and Tobago, back in December 2012: (1) How many Bananaquits could fit on a banana? (2) And, to make things even more confusing, why did Ian’s 2012 ffrench guide list the motmot under its old name, Blue-crowned Motmot? .

In 2012, I reviewed The Jewel Hunter , an absorbing narrative in which author Chris Goodie travelled throughout Asia, Africa, and Australasia to observe and photograph every Pitta species in the world. A passion for one bird family is also very useful. Like all talented travel writers, Dunn is adept at drawing us into his experiences.

I can’t imagine they were expecting anyone to research the line as much as I now regret doing! I wonder if all that could fit on a beer can? “Is that some kind of Eastern thing? And how it became the tagline on a can of beer from a craft brewery in Connecticut is equally mysterious, but brewers can be a funny bunch, too.

But now there is some research on that.
