Winter Visitor Birds: A Long Journey

The Arctic tern is the champion of all super and covers longer distances of migration of Arctic North to spend the winter in Antarctica. (Remember that our winters are summers). They travel 20,000 km to reach 20,000 in the other way back.

It's that time of year when you begin to feel the pinch in the air and the day quickly, giving way to night. Before we know it winter will be upon us, I tell myself as I wander down a path of family forest. Ulooka, owl, greets me from the hollow of a tree.

I look up to see a huge white and black V-formation in the sky in the morning. A group of cranes, Demoiselle. These people are coming from Central Asia through the Himalaya.

Do you know we are over 300 species of birds from the winter? All of our forests, lakes, wetlands, swamps and water bodies will host foreign guests. So keep a sharp eye for them.

Becomes unbearable cold in the freezing winter months in the northern hemisphere and birds travel great distances from Russia, Eastern Europe, Iran and Africa to come here. Flying over the deserts and mountain ranges, often non-stop for days, some of them do not travel through the long grueling. Which is why there are a lot of preparation that goes before the migration.

The Male Bird Spider Back Massage

When a man of golden orb-weaver spider Nephila Pilip want to get to work, he takes a special trick: You give your partner a "backrub", a new study.

For many spiders, the females of the species are much larger than the males-N. Pilip women are up to ten times larger, so mating is always a risky business. An unlucky suitor may be interrupted in his carnal embrace, when a woman starts and eats it.

Male spiders have developed several techniques to avoid this fate, at least before the end of the work.

Black widow, for example, picking up the scent of women that help determine how hungry males of their interests before trying to love is to mate. Redback spiders in Australia, meanwhile, actually snacked leave to extend their time with a woman.

N. Pilip strategy involves another trait common among spiders: pedipalps, a pair of appendices that include the male genitalia, said study co-author Matjaz Kuntner, Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History and the Slovenian Academy of Sciences and Arts.

Male pedipalps fit perfectly into two of the female genital openings, which can leave behind to "connect" openings. But a man needs to mate several times to connect the two openings and ensure the woman who may have multiple partners-have their babies.

Small Furry Mammals Live Longer

Small furry mammals partial to a daily dose of hibernation during the winter are probably the extension of life at the same time, according to a study published.

Experiments with native Siberian hamsters Djugarian showed that when small rodents temporarily lower your metabolism and body temperature, a state called torpor, stops and even reverses a natural decomposition of chromosomes associated with aging.

Each time a cell divides, the telomeres are worn a bit small. The work of the enzyme is partially reconstructed. Finally, when telomeres are worn beyond repair, cell death is triggered.

Telomeres and telomerase, the enzyme that control, are key players in aging and longevity.

Each time a cell divides, the telomeres are worn a bit small. The work of the enzyme is partially reconstructed. Finally, when telomeres are worn beyond repair, cell death is triggered.

Australian-American cell biologist Elizabeth Blackburn, who shared the 2009 Nobel Prize in Medicine for his work in the field, the telomeres is similar to the "tip of the shoelace" - loses its final plastic and lace begins to unravel.

For hamsters, daily torpor, which usually lasts several hours, in some way acted to preserve these safety tips, and even for the restoration
