the cardinal myzomela ( myzomela cardinalis ) is a species of bird in the honeyeater family .

it is named for the scarlet color of the male .

it is found in american samoa , new caledonia , samoa , solomon islands , and vanuatu .

its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests and subtropical or tropical mangrove forests .

it frequents areas with flowers , such as gardens .

this is a small , active bird , measuring about 13 cm ( 5.1 in ) from bill to tail .

males are red and black in coloration , females are grayish-olive , sometimes with a red cap or red head .

its long , curved bill is especially adapted for reaching into flowers for nectar .

cardinal myzomela populations have vanished from the island of guam since the invasion of the brown tree snake .

justification : although this species may have a restricted range , it is not believed to approach the thresholds for vulnerable under the range size criterion ( extent of occurrence < 20 , 000 km2 combined with a declining or fluctuating range size , habitat extent / quality , or population size and a small number of locations or severe fragmentation ) . despite the fact that the population trend appears to be decreasing , the decline is not believed to be sufficiently rapid to approach the thresholds for vulnerable under the population trend criterion ( > 30 % decline over ten years or three generations ) . the population size has not been quantified , but it is not believed to approach the thresholds for vulnerable under the population size criterion ( < 10 , 000 mature individuals with a continuing decline estimated to be > 10 % in ten years or three generations , or with a specified population structure ) . for these reasons the species is evaluated as least concern .
the global population size has not been quantified , but the species is described as common throughout its range ( doughty et al . 1999 ) . trend justification : this population is suspected to be in decline owing to ongoing habitat destruction ( stattersfield et al . 1998 ) .

the chestnut-backed antbird ( myrmeciza exsul ) is a passerine bird in the antbird family .

it is found in humid forests in central and south america ( chocó-magdalena ) , ranging from eastern nicaragua to western ecuador .

it mainly occurs in lowlands up to an altitude of 900 metres ( 3,000 ft ) m , but locally it occurs higher .

this is a common bird in the understory thickets of wet forest , especially at edges , along streams and in old treefall clearings , and in adjacent tall second growth .

the female lays two purple or red-brown spotted white eggs , which are incubated by both sexes , in an untidy cup nest which is constructed from vines , plant fibre and dead leaves and placed low in vegetation .

the male and female parents both feed the chicks .

the chestnut-backed antbird is heavy-bodied and short-tailed , typically 14 centimetres ( 5.5 in ) long , and weighing 28 grams ( 0.99 oz ) .

both sexes have a pale blue bare patch of skin around each eye .

the adult male has a blackish head , neck and breast , and the rest of the upperparts , wings and tail are chestnut .

the flanks and the lower belly are a somewhat darker brown .

the female has a brownish-black head and neck , but this does not extend to the breast .

her underparts are a darker chestnut in the nominate subspecies of the caribbean lowlands from nicaragua to panama , but more rufous in m. e. occidentalis of the pacific lowlands in costa rica and panama .

m. e. niglarus from eastern panama and far north-western colombia ( northern chocó department ) is similar .

young birds are duller and slatier than the adults .

the subspecies found in far south-east panama ( darién province ) , colombia ( except northern chocó department ) and ecuador , m. e. maculifer and m. e. cassini , have two wing bars consisting of white spots .

they were once considered a separate species , the wing-spotted antbird ( m. maculifer ) , but are vocally similar to the subspecies without spots on the wings , and the two groups hybridize where their distributions come into contact .

this species has a grating naar call , and the male ’s song is a whistled peeet peeew answered by the female ’s higher pitched version .

the chestnut-backed antbird is normally found as pairs throughout the year , but occasionally joins mixed-species feeding flocks or army ants .

it feeds on insects , other arthropods , and sometimes small frogs or lizards taken from leaf litter and vine tangles in low vegetation or on the ground .

it is easier to hear than see in its dense habitat , but can be attracted by imitating its whistled song .

it may then give a territorial display with puffed-up body , drooped wings , and pumping tail .

chestnut - backed antbird

nonbreeding territorial behavior of two congeneric antbirds , chestnut - backed antbird ( myrmeciza exsul ) and white - bellied antbird ( m . longipes )
a pair of chestnut - backed antbirds foraging and singing about 4 m from me , in the rain .
the signature look of three species of antbird found on the osa peninsula of costa rica is the blue orbital skin ( the skin surrounding the eye ) . the chestnut - backed antbird is one of these species and is distinguished from the others by its slate colored head and chestnut back . the other antbird that you are likely to see here with the blue orbital skin is the bicolored antbird , but it is distinguished by its white neck and belly .
the antbird was only 1 m from me , sang twice , then flew away .
chestnut - backed antbirds ( myrmeciza exsul ) are common residents of the osa peninsula and one of the most abundant species found here . it is difficult to walk outside here at friends of the osa’s osa biodiversity center and not hear two or three individuals counter - singing . often times when the rest of the forest has become fairly quiet you can always count on a chestnut - backed antbird to let you know that all is as it should be .
the chestnut - backed antbird is one of many secretive forest understory species that is far more often heard than seen . the song - - a two - or three - note whistle - - is a common feature of many lowland forests throughout the species’ range . like most antbirds , the species has no special predilection for foraging at army - ant swarms , though it does so opportunistically when a swarm passes through a territory . the specific name exsul ( “stranger” in latin ) may have reflected its sporadic appearance at ant swarms to early naturalists who believed all antbirds followed army ants . unlike many forest - dwelling antbird species , the chestnut - backed antbird is often found in even small forest patches in fragmented landscapes , and it has flourished on barro colorado island , panama , despite being a demonstrably isolated population .

as you can tell by the name , chestnut - backed antbirds follow army ant swarms ; however , they only do this occasionally and are not considered obligate , or professional , army ant followers . they are strongly associated with the dark undergrowth of wet tropical forests within dense vegetation especially near overgrown treefalls or dense thickets . they often join mixed species flocks but won’t necessarily move along the forest with the flock , but will rather join them while ant swarms are moving through the dense thickets in which the chestnut - backed antbirds are found . once the army ant swarm or the mixed species flock is gone , they will remain in the undergrowth found in their territory . many tropical birds follow army ant swarms to pick up insects flushed by the ants , not to eat the ants themselves . chestnut - backed antbirds mainly hop along very low lying perches or along the ground and peck their prey , which mainly consists of insects and spiders from the ground or near the ground vegetation .
13·5–14·5 cm ; 24–30 g . male nominate race has head , throat and upper breast greyish black ; upperparts and tail dark chestnut , wing - coverts blacker , . . .
a pair of chestnut - backed antbirds was foraging near the ground , and i made my way close to intercept them . the two moved to within 2 m and 5 m of me . they sang their typical , 2 - element song ( e . g . , 0 : 00 , 0 : 08 , 0 : 17 ; the loudest at 1 : 19 and 1 : 29 ) . in addition , for about 12 seconds starting at 0 : 20 , the closer one sang a quiet little song . they continued to forage and sing as they moved away from me .

but new research that shows how the gribble digests wood could hold a key to the production of carbon - neutral fuels from waste .
a team of government - funded british researchers has learned that gribble have a gift for digesting wood not seen in any other animal .
the onsite micro - brewery has been active since the opening of the pub in 1980 . head brewer , rob cooper , has brewed beer at the gribble since it opened . his late father was the head brewer before him and both had the pleasure of knowing rose gribble
but now the humble ‘gribble’ could hold the key to the production of sustainable carbon - neutral fuels , thanks to their unusual digestive system .
a gribble - like processing plant could make sugars from woody raw material that can be fermented into alcohol - based fuels for vehicle engines .
this is exciting to scientists investigating green fuel sources , because it means gribble could hold the key to converting wood and straw into liquid biofuel .
researchers at the universities of york and portsmouth made the discovery after carrying out an extensive study of digestive genes from the gribble species limnoria quadripunctata .
the scientists investigated a digestive organ in gribble called the hepatopancreas , a sort of appendix consisting of two blind - ended sacs connected to the stomach .
it seems possible from the four spots on the rear end of this little chap that the species represented here is limnoria quadripunctata holthuis , 1949 ; but in the absence of any online gribble guide it’s hard to be sure . any gribble experts want to speculate ? [ update : see comments below for elucidation ]

gribble was strolling down the 6th fairway that runs along the water thursday at the arnold palmer invitational when he spotted an alligator sunning itself along the fairway ' s edge . at this point the obvious course of action would have been to change direction and avoid any interaction with the reptile , but gribble chose a different path .
in thursday ' s opening round of the john deere classic , cody gribble did something all weekend hackers are familiar with . hitting a fairway wood on the par - 5 17th at tpc deere run , gribble topped his second shot in embarrassing fashion . how the pga tour rookie reacted , however , is something most golfers could learn from .
the gribble offers comfortable chesterfield sofas surrounding two roaring log fires to warm you in the winter months and a pretty cottage garden in which to enjoy the long summer evenings .
for centuries , seafarers were plagued by wood - eating gribble that destroyed their ships , and these creatures continue to wreak damage on wooden piers and docks in coastal communities .
note : gribble also provides a stock entity ( gribble . entity < tkey > ) and class map ( gribble . intkeyentitymap / guidkeyentitymap ) out of the box that only contains an id and values property . this is handy if you need to work with a table that is completely dynamic and do not want to create an entity and map . table contains static factory methods , discussed next , that omit the mapping and will use the built in one ( table . create < tkey > ( . . . ) ) .
gribble played in college at texas and is the second member of the school ' s 2012 national championship team to win a pga tour event . the other is jordan spieth .
this is true of both cows and termites . but gribble have no symbiotic microbes in their digestive systems , and produce all the enzymes needed to convert wood into sugars themselves .
whether the gribble worm ' s process is scalable is another issue , but such minor details do not seem to make it into the hyperbolic press releases announcing these ' discoveries . '
gribble allows you to execute sql statements through the sqlstatement class which implements isqlstatement . simple return types like numeric , datetime and guid are supported by all methods in addition to reference types .

jackson , miss . - - cody gribble and his caddie talked a ton during the final nine holes of his impressive run to a sanderson farms championship victory . very little was about golf .
by examining genes that are expressed in the guts of gribble , the researchers have demonstrated that its digestive system contains enzymes which could hold the key to converting wood and straw into liquid biofuels .
the gribble worm is more known as a pest that eats the hulls of ships . it turns out the bacteria in its stomach produces the requisite enzymes that can break cellulose into simple sugars .
scientists at the university of york believe that potent digestive enzymes that the gribble produces to convert wood into the sugars they live on , could be harnessed as a crucial component in making liquid biofuels .
gribble are voracious consumers of wood and have all the enzymes needed for its digestion . the enzymes attach to a long chain of complex sugars and then chop off small soluble molecules that can be easily digested or fermented . the researchers identified a cellulase ( an enzyme that converts cellulose into glucose ) from gribble that has some unusual properties and used the latest imaging technology to understand more about it .
unlike termites and other wood - eating animals , gribble have no helpful microbes in their digestive system . this means that they must possess all of the enzymes needed to convert wood into sugars themselves .
gribble had two birdies on the front nine to stay in contention , then ran off birdies on nos . 11 , 13 , 15 , 16 and 17 . he finished at 20 - under 268 .
the york project , headed by professor simon mcqueen - mason , is working with marine biologists at portsmouth university to identify the enzymes in the gribble’s digestive tract that are the most efficient in breaking down wood .
they talked about gribble ' s texas longhorns and their big win in football over baylor on saturday . they talked about the chicago cubs and the world series . they discussed their upcoming trip to las vegas .
which brings us to the announcement by the university of york and university of portsmouth in the united kingdom that a crustacean called the
gribble worm
is an idiot savant when it comes to transforming wood into sugars .
the gribble inn is a charming public house within west sussex , nestled in the quaint village of oving . it is situated close to the south downs with views to goodwood , three miles from the historical city of chichester .
following her death in 1980 , local farmer peter hague compassionately bought and transformed the cottage into a public house for the local oving parishioners . in memory of rose , peter named the pub ‘the gribble’ as a lasting tribute .
we have just completed our first steps into the world of bottling . we are pleased to announce our santa’s sack limited edition bottled ruby red ale 5 . 4 % is now available to purchase in house at the gribble inn
the gribble , a wood - boring marine isopod long has been considered nothing more than a nautical nuisance . its specialty is boring its way into the wooden hulls of ships , turning seafaring into an even more perilous undertaking .
most animals that consume wood have digestive tracts packed with microbes that help to digest the cell wall polymers , but the gribble’s is sterile , so it must produce all the enzymes needed to break down the wood itself . we have done extensive dna sequencing of the genes expressed in its gut , and we have detected cellulases never seen in animals before . we want to see if it’s possible to adapt the gribble digestive enzymes for industrial purposes .
to do this they turned to the destructive power of tiny wood - boring marine isopod called ‘gribble’ , which historically attacked the timber hulls of seafarers’ ships , and continue to wreak damage on wooden piers and docks in coastal communities .
the small talk worked . gribble finished with a 7 - under 65 - - which included five birdies on a spectacular back nine - - to turn a tight fight into a four - stroke victory and his pga tour title .
the gribble fluent mapping works the same as fnh . if the column is omitted the property name is used as the column name . the id mapping is only required when creating , modifying or deleting entities . if you will only be querying entities the id mapping is not required . the generated ( ) flag tells gribble that it will need to generate the id . in this case it will generate a guid comb . if the id is generated by the database , as in the case of an identity field or default value , this flag should be omitted . the dynamic ( ) flag this tells gribble that the property will be a catch all bag for columns that are not mapped .
this information will help the researchers to design more robust enzymes for industrial applications . while similar cellulases have been found in wood - degrading fungi , the enzyme from gribble shows some important differences . in particular , the gribble cellulase is extremely resistant to aggressive chemical environments and can work in conditions seven times saltier than sea water . being robust in difficult environments means that the enzymes can last much longer when working under industrial conditions and so less enzyme will be needed .
cody gribble didn ' t have the best first round at bay hill , as evidenced by his triple - bogey at the 3rd hole , but it could have taken a turn for the worse when came across an alligator on the course .
the scientists at york are now studying the enzymes to establish how they work , and whether they can be adapted to industrial applications . perhaps one day soon seafarers will be sailing the seas on ships powered with biofuels produced with gribble enzymes .
so try to follow cody gribble ' s lead when it comes to handling bad shots on the golf course . however , we still recommend that you don ' t follow his lead when it comes to dealing with gators on the golf course .
we are proud to present our very own micro - brewery here on site at the gribble inn . we have the capacity to brew up to 4320 litres of beer every week , with the capabilities to vary our types and styles of beer .

specifically , mcqueen - mason and his team have been studying an enzyme found in the gribble that could show the way to breaking down wood into simple sugars . their work could lead the way in turning waste—paper , scrap wood and straw—into liquid fuel .
on sunday , gribble started slowly , but picked up steam on an unseasonably hot day in jackson where the temperature pushed 90 degrees . he made a short birdie putt on 11 and then hit a difficult downhill 18 - foot putt for birdie on 13 .
gribble is a simple , linq enabled orm that was designed to work with dynamically created tables . it was not meant to be a replacement for a full fledged orm like nhiberate but to handle a use case that other orm ' s could not handle well .
i knew i was in a good spot and i knew i was playing well ,
gribble said .
it ' s hard not to sit there and look at the scoreboard , look where you ' re at and how you ' re doing .
the research team—from university of york , university of portsmouth , hampshire , uk , and the national renewable energy laboratory , golden , colo . —have used advanced biochemical analysis and x - ray imaging techniques to determine the structure and function of the enzyme used by the gribble .
a great treat for christmas ! here at the the gribble inn & brewery we offer gift vouchers to purchase for that special someone . they are redeemable against our food and drink offerings , as well as against our brewery talks . we offer voucher denominations of £5 & £10 .
gribble looked as if he might have trouble just making the cut at the country club of jackson after an opening 73 . he bounced back with a 63 in the second round to jump into contention - - one shy of the course record - - and followed it up with a 67 on saturday .
gribble obviously has a way to go to match the accomplishments of spieth , who is among the world ' s best players , but the sanderson farms win is certainly a good start . he earned $ 756 , 000 , 300 fedexcup points and exempt status on tour through the 2018 - 19 season .
dr . gribble is a molecular biologist broadly interested in the evolution , ecology and life history of marine and freshwater plankton . she combines her training in biological oceanography , evolution , and molecular biology to investigate how environment and genetics influence the phenotypic plasticity of life history strategy and morphology to allow adaptation to changes in environmental conditions and to determine evolutionary fitness . by understanding the outcomes induced by specific environmental conditions , the molecular genetic bases of phenotypic changes , and the evolutionary conservation of plasticity , dr . gribble’s research enables predictions about the results of changing environmental conditions at scales ranging from the individual to the ecosystem .
kirk won the tournament in 2011 , back when it was called the viking classic and played at nearby annandale golf club . he was in contention again at the country club of jackson after shooting a 65 in the third round , but nobody was able to keep up with gribble ' s torrid pace on sunday .
simon mcqueen - mason has seen the destructive power of the tiny gribble first hand . before he became a plant scientist , mcqueen - mason—who today works in the centre for novel agricultural products at the university of york , heslington , york , uk—was a commercial fisherman who owned his own wooden - hulled fishing boat .
“when simon cragg first looked at gribbles through an electron microscope he was able to see their gut was completely sterile , which means nature had got there before us . what is happening inside a gribble’s gut is nature’s own bioreactor and now we have the blueprint of this enzyme , we just need to copy it . ”

dr mcgeehan said : “the 3d structure has revealed that although the skeleton of the gribble enzyme is very similar to the equivalent enzymes in fungi , the surface is unrecognisable . it appears that the consequence of evolution in a marine environment is an acidic coat that protects the enzyme from high concentrations of salt . this unusual salt tolerance and stability represent exciting properties with great potential benefit to industry . ”
in research published in the proceedings of the ( u . s . ) national academy of sciences , a team headed by simon mcqueen - mason and neil bruce at york , and simon cragg at portsmouth reveal that the gribble digestive tract is dominated by enzymes that attack the polymers that make up wood . one of the most abundant enzymes is a cellulose degrading enzyme never before seen in animals .
the ultimate aim is to reproduce the effect of this enzyme on an industrial scale . rather than trying to get the cellulase from gribble , the team have transferred the genetic blueprint of this enzyme to an industrial microbe that can produce it in large quantities , in the same way that enzymes for biological washing detergents are made . by doing this they hope to cut the costs of turning woody materials into biofuels .

update : the release of the gribble armada after our brave little tv stars had managed to survive over 24 hours away from seawater they were starting to look a bit sluggish when asked to perform yet again under the lights this morning at work . the ranger decided they needed to be given a fighting chance to go off and nibble some toff’s yacht in cowes . so down to the river medina went the gribbles , wrapped in a magazine , and they were sent off in a little flotilla of wooden fragments .
using advanced biochemical analysis and x - ray imaging techniques , scientists from the centre for novel agricultural products ( cnap ) in the department of biology at york , the university of portsmouth and the national renewable energy laboratory in the usa have determined the structure and function of a key enzyme used by gribble to digest wood . this will help the researchers to reproduce its effects on an industrial scale in a bid to create sustainable liquid biofuels . the research is published in the proceedings of the national academy of sciences usa .
duke gribble received his state of california k12 teaching credential and baccalaureate degree from northridge university , while majoring in english and theater . he has over 10 years experience as an environmental sciences educator in california and has been recognized by the united states presidency for service to the nation through environmental protection . as an avid outdoor enthusiast and naturalist , duke has traveled and studied extensively throughout natural ecosystems in america and abroad . he is currently writing and editing technical documents for an entomological website database and working on educational theatre projects for the dietrick institute .
we create a sqlstatement object by passing in a connection manager , an optional class map ( only used when returning entities ) and an optional profiler . you can create a sqlstatement object with the new keyword or one of the static factory methods . there is a connection manager that takes a system . data . sqlconnection or connection string and one that takes an nhibernate . isession ( when using nhibernate integration ) . gribble supports the go keyword and will automatically split the statement into seperate batches . it uses the last batch for return values , preceding batches are executed non query .
current research in the gribble lab focuses on studies of evolution , life history , and aging using monogonont rotifers . rotifers are aquatic invertebrate animals with many advantages as a model in aging and maternal effects research : small size and a two - week lifespan enables high replication and rapid experimentation , transparency allows easy microscopy , clonal propagation permits direct examination of maternal effects without changes in genome , and inducible sexual reproduction enables crossing and traditional genetics . tools for rotifer research include genomes , transcriptomes , and rnai . rotifers are thus a tractable and robust system for investigating many basic biological questions , including the evolution of mate recognition and speciation , the influence of environmental conditions on phenotypic plasticity , and the genetic and epigenetic mechanisms of aging , lifespan - extending interventions , and maternal effects .

this thesis uses a vulnerability assessment approach that has been applied in a variety of fisheries and natural resource management contexts . this approach has been taken because vulnerability assessments provide a useful framework for organising and integrating different types of information . vulnerability frameworks have been used to assess a variety of fisheries related risks including the risks to bycatch species such as sea snakes and turtles ( griffiths et al . , 2006 , milton , 2001 ) and sharks and rays ( stobutzki et al . , 2002 ) ; the economic risks climate change poses to fisheries ( fletcher , 2005 ) ; sustainability and risks of targeted fishing for sharks and rays ( salini et al . , 2007 , walker , 2005a ) , and a wide range of other fisheries ( see hobday et al . , 2007 for review ) . australian fisheries have used vulnerability frameworks which compare a species’ susceptibility to the fishery against its productivity to describe sustainability ( gribble et al . , 2005 , hobday et al . , 2007 , salini et al . , 2007 , stobutzki et al . , 2001 ) . vulnerability frameworks are also used in assessing the vulnerability of species and systems to climate change ( chin et al . , 2010 , füssel & klein , 2006 , johnson & marshall , 2007 ) .
