A Family Farm: Life on an Illinois Dairy Farm
In a new memoir, Robert Switzer tells the story of his family's dairy farm and captures the experience of millions of other family farmers in the 20th century. The book, "A Family Farm: Life on an Illinois Dairy Farm," also tells the story of American agriculture from the 19-teens to the early 1990s. It's a very personal story, told without sentimentality, of the loss of this way of life for millions of farmers.

Zebra finch genome - David Clayton University of Illinois

The brain of the zebra finch responds to song much like humans respond to speech. Researchers are studying finch communication to learn more about human language comprehension and production. University of Illinois cell and developmental biology professor David Clayton talks about his research.

A tiny wasp that lays its eggs under the skin of unwitting caterpillars belongs to one of the most diverse groups of insects on Earth. Now researchers report that its diversity is even higher than previously thought. PHOTOS by Won Young Choi, Daniel Janzen, Winnie Hallwachs, Michael Sharkey, Josephine Rodriguez, Jim Whitfield.

Good job I love it so much that I wrote a book about it.
Feed on Funji?
really beautiful job!
Great video! I'm doing a paper on the notithenioid fishes and loved the images of these fish.
oceanography sucks!

I suppose that this grass must be harvested or baled before they completely dry, before a stray ember lights it off, for a severe field fire.
Stray embers aren't common
@gadevic i wouldnt say that the wasp are parasitoid. bc it doesnt spend a majority of its life in the host. it only lay its egg in the host, and nothing more. im no entomologist either, but i just about done taking my ecology class :)
cool
its important to provide inviting habitats in organic gardens for wasps due to their food habit of eating pests.
I'm a writer, not an expert on this subject. I think, however, the direct impact on wildlife is still unknown.There are some benefits to wildlife, for example the fact that Miscanthus requires less or no nitrogen fertilizers, so there will be less or no runoff into nearby waterways. But other impacts may be detrimental....
Used as habitat for many species of birds
I'm a writer not an expert on this, but actually, corn stalks are used for biofuels. And yes, you are right, there are characteristics of Miscanthus that scientists hope to use to improve corn and perhaps soybeans. If they can find the genes that make them cold hardy, for example, they may be able to introduce those genes into other crops and extend the growing season or the range where they can be grown.
Hi, I'm not entomologist but I'd like to know if you can help me with this. Is it a parasitoid? Thank you
Really interesting.
