The pipipi (Māori: pīpipi; [2] Mohoua novaeseelandiae), also known as brown creeper, New Zealand creeper or New Zealand titmouse, [3] is a small passerine bird endemic to the South Island of New Zealand. They are specialist insectivores, gleaning insects from branches and leaves. They have strong legs and toes for hanging upside down while ...
Catfish of the genus Corydoras, for example, spawn immediately after heavy rain, the specific cues being an increase in water level and a decrease in temperature. When water levels rise, it allows many fish access to areas further upstream, that are better suited for reproduction, that were not previously accessible.
Dolichandra unguis-cati, commonly known as cat's claw creeper, funnel creeper, [2] or cat's claw trumpet, [2] is a rapidly growing climbing vine belonging to the family Bignoniaceae. [3] It affects all plant layers of the forest ecosystem spreading rapidly both vertically and horizontally.
The latter has a head-to-body length of 36.7–43.3 cm (14.4–17.0 in) and a maximum recorded weight of 2.45 kg (5.4 lb). [29] [30] Most cat species have a haploid number of 18 or 19. Central and South American cats have a haploid number of 18, possibly due to the combination of two smaller chromosomes into a larger one. [31]
Many species have patterns such as checking, spotting, or barring on their plumage. The feathers of the tail are rigid and are used for supporting the body when climbing tree trunks; [5] [4] the tail can support most of the body weight and birds that lose their tail find climbing difficult. Woodcreepers climb by flexing their legs and hopping ...

It can grow up to a length of 1 m (3 ft 3 in), and it can weigh more than 2 kg (4.4 lb). [4] It is found primarily over sandy, gravelly, or muddy bottoms from depths of a few metres down to 400 m (1,300 ft). [5] S. canicula is one of the most abundant elasmobranchs in the northeast Atlantic and Mediterranean Sea. The majority of the populations ...
Chum salmon is a typical cold water fish that prefer water around 10 °C (50 °F). When water temperature is raised due to thermal pollution, chum salmon tends to dive into deep water for thermoregulation. This reduces the time chum salmon spent in surface water column and reduce the chance for chum salmon to approach natal river since the ...
