[ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] One type of lamp has a violet filter material, either on the bulb or in a separate glass filter in the lamp housing, which blocks most visible light and allows through UV ...
Alarm calls have been studied in many species, such as Belding's ground squirrels. Characteristic 'ticking' alarm call of a European robin, Erithacus rubecula. In animal communication, an alarm signal is an antipredator adaptation in the form of signals emitted by social animals in response to danger.
Its function is to make the animal, for example a wasp or a coral snake, highly conspicuous to potential predators, so that it is noticed, remembered, and then avoided. As Peter Forbes observes, "Human warning signs employ the same colours – red, yellow, black, and white – that nature uses to advertise dangerous creatures."

The black widow gets its name from a particularly gnarly behavior: Males are often killed and eaten by females shortly after mating. A female can live up to a year or more and produce several egg ...
Ecological light pollution [1] is the effect of artificial light on individual organisms and on the structure of ecosystems as a whole.. The effect that artificial light has upon organisms is highly variable, [2] and ranges from beneficial (e.g. increased ability for predator species to observe prey) to immediately fatal (e.g. moths that are attracted to incandescent lanterns and are killed by ...
