AmphibiaWeb

AmphibiaWeb is an American non-profit website that shows information about amphibians, for example frogs and salamanders. It is run by a group of universities working with the California Academy of Sciences: San Francisco State University, the University of California at Berkeley, University of Florida at Gainesville, and University of Texas at Austin.

AmphibiaWeb's goal is to provide an information page for every species of amphibian in the world so research scientists, citizen scientists and people who want to help the environment can work together.  It added its 7000th animal in 2012, a glass frog from Peru.  As of 2020, it hosted more than 8,000 species from all over the world.

Beginning

Scientist David Wake founded AmphibiaWeb in 2000.  He founded it at the Digital Library Project at the University of California at Berkeley in 2000.  It was a class project.

Uses

AmphibiaWeb gives information to the IUCN, CalPhotos, Encyclopedia of Life and iNaturalist.

Professional scientists use AmphibiaWeb in their papers.  It has been cited in many journals, for example PLOS One, The European Journal of Taxonomy, Amino Acids and The Journal of Ethnopharmacology.

Many libraries recommend AmphibiaWeb to readers, including UNLV University Libraries, Stony Brook University Libraries, the College of Wooster Libraries and James Cook University Libraries.

Burmese amber fossils

Burmese amber, or Burmite or Kachin amber, is amber from the Hukawng Valley in northern Myanmar. It is important for its fossils from the earliest part of the Upper Cretaceous, in the Cenomanian age, 99 million years ago. The amber has been commercially exploited since the first century AD. Research on the deposit may fund internal conflict in Myanmar. 

The amber has flora and fauna especially arthropods such as  insects and arachnids. There are also also birds, lizards, snakes, frogs and fragments of dinosaur remains. 

The fossils arachnids in the amber include:
44 families of spiders.
20 families of mites.
5 families of Opiliones (mites, harvestmen, daddy longlegs)
12 families of pseudoscorpions
7 families of scorpions
5 families of ticks
1 genus of short-tailed whipscorpion (Schizomida)
1 genus of Palpigradi
1 genus of Amblypygi 
1 genus of camel spider 
2 genera of whip scprpions
3 genera of hooded tickspiders
15 families of myriapods are in the amber

8 families of Entognatha are known

29 orders of insects are known, including:
50+ families of Hymenoptera
47 families of flies (Diptera)
89 families of beetles (Coleoptera)
21 families of Neuroptera (such as lacewings, antlions, etc)
65 families of Hemiptera (true bugs)
20 families of Dictyoptera
And 16 more smaller families.

Other groups of invertebrates include:
Nematodes
Nematomorpha
Molluscs

There are some vertebrates:

A well preserved theropod dinosaur tail, with preserved feathers.
Fossils of enantiornithine birds including juveniles and partial wings and preserved feet, including a diagnostic taxon, Elektorornis. 
A complete skull of the bizarre avialan or lizard Oculudentavis is known. 
Electrorana is a well preserved frog known from the amber. 
Other notable specimens include an embryonic snake. 
Several species of lizard were described from the deposit including a gecko with preserved toe pads (Cretaceogekko). 
One of the specimens was initially described to be a chamelonid, actually turned out to be an albanerpetonid amphibian.

Peron's tree frog

Peron's tree frog or emerald-spotted tree frog (Litoria peronii) is a frog from Australia.  It lives in Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland, but people have also seen it in a few other places.

The adult frog is 6.0 cm long.  It lives in forests, grasslands and swamps.  It has sometimes been seen in northwestern Australia, far from its natural range.  Citizen scientists from Frogwatch SA think this is because people keep Peron's tree frogs as pets and then they either escape or are set free.  This frog is usually gray-green during the day.  It turns red-brown with green spots at night.  It has black and yellow colouring on its legs. It looks very similar to Tyler's tree frog.  Scientists tell them apart because their voices sound different.

This frog lays eggs in temporary bodies of water. The tadpoles are yellow with stripes.

Reassortment

Reassortment is mixing of the genetic material of a species into new combinations in different individuals. 

There are several ways this happens. The term is  used when two similar viruses infecting the same cell exchange genetic material. In particular, reassortment occurs among influenza viruses. Their genomes have eight segments of RNA. These segments act like mini-chromosomes: each time a flu virus is assembled, it needs one copy of each segment.

A single host (a human, a chicken, or other animal) may be infected by two different strains of the influenza virus. Then it is possible that new assembled viral particles will be made from segments whose origin is mixed, some coming from one strain and some coming from another. The new reassorted strain will share properties from both  parental lineages.

Reassortment is responsible for some of the major changes in the history of the influenza virus. The 1957 and 1968 pandemic flu strains were caused by reassortment between an avian virus and a human virus. The H1N1 virus responsible for the 2009 swine flu pandemic has an unusual mix of swine, avian and human influenza genetic sequences.

There are other examples, but this is enough to indicate why reassortment causes such dangerous illness.  

If any of a virus’s genome segments is damaged in such a way as to prevent replication or expression of an essential gene, the virus is inviable when it, alone, infects a host cell (single infection).  However when two or more damaged viruses infect the same cell (multiple infection), the infection may succeed due to reassortment of segments. Each of the eight genome segments may be present in at least one undamaged copy.

Cleon

Cleon (;  Kleon, ; died 422 BCE) was an Athenian politician and general known for his support of the Peloponnesian War. The historian Thucydides writes that Cleon was a demagogue and that he once ordered the Athenians to massacre an entire city for rebelling against Athens.

Cleon also dragged Aristophanes to court to prosecute him for his play The Babylonians. Aristophanes at the beginning of his next play The Acharnians said he would have revenge on Cleon. Aristophanes also wrote a comedy called The Knights to try and convince the people not to re-elect Cleon and another called The Wasps about Cleon being a populist.

According to Aristotle, Cleon was the first one who would shout down anyone who disagreed with him and accuse any and all opponents of being essentially traitors to ‘the people’ and who did everything he could to convince the people that the only way for them to have power was to let him do what he wanted even if it were against the Constitution.

Vomitorium

A vomitorium is a hallway or alcove found in ancient Roman buildings.  It is called a vomitorium because it can allow many, many people to enter or leave the building at the same time.  The word in Latin means "place from which things spew forth," or "place that things come out of quickly."

Real vomitoria

Romans built vomitoria in theaters and stadiums.   One building could have many vomitoria on each floor.  Some modern theaters and stadiums also have vomitoria.  In the 1980s, the Oregon Shakespeare Festival added vomitoria to its Allen Elizabethan Theatre so they could do more things with entrances and exits.

Myths about vomitoria

Because the name sounds like "vomit" in English, people in the 1800s and 1900s thought a vomitorium was a special room that ancient Romans would go to during feasts.  They would throw up in that room to empty their stomachs so they could return to the feast and eat more.  But this is not true.  Ancient Romans did not build special rooms to vomit in.

Creole peoples

In the Middle ages, many Europeans were seafaring nations. They discovered new countries. Creole people are people who descended from people of different ethnic backgrounds. At the start, usually the father was European, and the mother was local. With time, whole societies of such people were formed.

There were three big groups:

 In the former Portuguese colonies,  people mixed rapidly.  The men often didn't find a woman of the same standing, so they married a slave. This meant that by default, their children would also be slaves. The men didn't want that, and many freed the woman they married (and their children).  Such societies developed in Cape Verde, or in Brazil, for example. Today, these people are known as Crioulo.
 In the former Spanish colonies, things developed differently. Only the Spanish people born in the country could become bishop, or governor for example. The mixed people developed into a middle class, which gained a lot of influence. They are known as Criollo today.
 So-called Atlantic creoles traveled with the ships, mostly as translators. Very often one parent was European, the other was from Africa. 

Since about the 18th century, the criollos make up the majority of people in many countries.
