Third, which we already suspected, bird brains are adjusted to provide extra smartness in a way not seen in mammals. Research done quite a while back suggests that this is adaptive. Researchers have been studying song learning in birds for some time. City Great Tit ( Parus major ) telomeres shortened.

Geladas are the sole survivors of a once abundant branch of primates that historically foraged across the grasslands of Africa, the Mediterranean and India. However recent research has shown that they are in fact not baboons, despite superficial appearances, and they are now just called “Gelada”. Mammals Ethiopia Gelada'

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 go read that for sure, and revel in the excellent graphics. As Lee Et.Al

The purpose is to protect ocean species as a whole. I think that ocean life, with the exception of mammals, are often overlooked because they are not the sentient, communicating species that we identify with, like primates, dogs, cats, etc. I'm not sure how this fits into my support of animal rights though.

Here’s some data from the famous research project of Manu, Peru, giving biomass in kilograms per hectare. The data here are from the site of Manaus: All animals: 200 Mammals: 8.4 This is also because mammals are large. Comparing mammals, birds, and reptiles, for instance, what is the distribution and range of sizes?

The trait must then be identifiable as to whether or not it exists in a certain species. For instance, in primate phylogeny, postcranial traits (bony traits of the body, not the head) are usually useless because we can’t link teeth to bodies in most cases, and the teeth drive the taxonomy (though there are some recent exceptions ).

Unless you are nothing but the lowly diehard lister, for which you should feel much shame and embarrassment for, birders and biologists alike frequently want to understand birds on a deeper level than how to identify the age, sex and species of a certain individual. I look forward to more research being done in this field.
