This is a new section of the site that provides tools for planning your next birding trip and manage your own personal checklists. You can use maps and graphs to quickly see how many species can be found in a given region and at various times of year, for instance.

Birds are the only animals that have feathers, which are made of keratin, just like your hair and fingernails. A bird’s wings have the same bones as a human arm, but they are arranged differently. Some of the bones in a bird’s skeleton are hollow. This makes the bird light enough to fly. All birds: Are vertebrates (which means they have a backbone or spine)Are endothermic.
Beetles (Order: Coleoptera) - Amateur Entomologists' Society (AES) Possibly the most well known of Britain's beetles, the Stag beetle Lucanus cervus. The males have large 'antlers' and this gives them their common name. The smaller female does not possess large antlers. Introduction The Order Coleoptera or beetles forms the largest group of insects worldwide with about 370,000 described species. However, the situation in the British Isles is slightly different and beetle diversity comes third with about 4,100 species, being surpassed by both Diptera (flies) and Hymenoptera (bees, wasps, ants, etc.). General features Beetles belong to the Endopterygota or insects having a complete metamorphosis, with a distinct pupal stage between the larval and sexually mature adult stages. Beetles can be found in almost every imaginable terrestrial or aquatic habitat but many more species are found in tropical countries than in places with more temperate climates. Special features A number of beetle species are dependant upon other insects for their survival. Setting

En trente ans, 420 millions d'oiseaux ont disparu en Europe Une étude publiée ce lundi 3 novembre dans le journal scientifique Ecology Letters vient de révéler de nouveaux chiffres inquiétants concernant le déclin de la population des oiseaux. L'étude révèle que 420 millions d'oiseaux ont disparu en trente ans en Europe. Près de 90% de cette disparition a été enregistrée chez 36 espèces d'oiseaux communs telles que le moineau, l'étourneau, la perdrix grise et l'alouette. Richard Inger, chercheur à l'institut pour l'environnement et le développement durable à l'université d'Exeter et qui a participé à l'étude, s'alarme : "Il est très préoccupant que les espèces les plus communes disparaissent rapidement puisque ce sont précisément ces oiseaux qui sont utiles aux hommes." Un déclin néfaste Ces oiseaux permettent de lutter contre les parasites agricoles, de disséminer les graines et d'éliminer les carcasses d'animaux. Protéger les espèces et leur habitat Par ailleurs, l'étude montre que la population de certaines espèces d'oiseaux est en augmentation.
Annuaire des oiseaux The Early History of Beekeeping History of Wild Bees and Beekeeping The beekeeper is the keeper of bee collection of honey and the other products that bees product in the hive like beeswax, pollen, and royal jelly. Another product of bees is for resale to other beekeeper. The collecting honey dates back 15,000 years ago, Egyptian art shows beekeeping around 4,500 years ago. Wild bees became domesticated in artificial hive like logs, wooden boxes, pottery, and woven baskets. The Greece apiculture found smoking pots, honey extractors in Knossos; Beekeeping was a highly valued industry. In China the art of beekeeping recorded the importance of quality of wooden boxes if improved the quality of the honey. There are more than 20,000 different species of wild bees. With breeding bees some companies will achieve a selectively breeding and hybridize varieties are disease and parasite resistance, which produces good honey, swarming behavior reduction.

Welcome to Viet Nam Creatures Website Faune et flore du Vietnam (Vietnam, mon pays natal. Terre des dragons et des légendes) La forêt vietnamienne couvre encore les 2/5 è du pays. Malgré une déforestation accentuée durant les dernières années, dûe en grande partie à l'accroissement de la population et surtout àaux défoliants déversés durant la guerre du Viêt-Nam, la forêt vietnamienne continue à abriter tant de richesses florales et animales. Quelques découvertes récentes Il s’agit des doucs à pattes grises (Pygathrix cinerea), du lapin tigré (Nesolagus temminsi.)( loài thỏ vằn ) de Trường Sơn, du galliforme (bambusicola fytchii), du boeuf gris (Bos sauveli) et de garrulaxe à long bec (jabouilleia danjoui)( loài khướu). La découverte de la grue antigone orientale en 1986 dans le delta du Mékong et celle du saola en 1994 montrent quel point les scientifiques ont commencé à porter une attention particulière sur la faune vietnamienne. Un programme dynamique de reboisement prévoyant la plantation de 500 millions d'arbres a été lancé il y a quelques années par le gouvernement vietnamien.
