of the few crustaceans (crayfishes or shrimps) that live permanently on dry
land. They are usually small, reaching 1.5 cm in length. For respiration, they
use a system of thin tubes in their abdomen. They prefer moist environments,
like basements and building walls. During the day, they normally hide under
rocks, wood or fallen leaves. They live on dead plant material. Unless they
multiply to very large numbers, they are practically harmless. The original
home of these animals is Europe, from where they have spread throughout the
world.</span></div>

females carry about twenty fertilized eggs on the underside of their bodies,
until the young hatch. While adults have seven pairs of legs, freshly hatched
young bears only six pairs. When woodlice molt, they first discard the rear
part of their exoskeleton, then two to three days later, the front part is discarded.
They can live up to two and a half years.</span></div>

marten is around 60 cm long, gray-brown in color and with a white ruff. They
belong to the family Mustelidae, like Badgers, Otters or Weasels for instance.
Martens are mainly nocturnal, living in places with plenty of cover, like edges
of forests, rocky terrain, quarries and near human dwellings. They move in
short jumps and are excellent climbers. In high mountain ranges during summer
months, martens may be found up to 4000 meters elevation. They are often found
in attics or old structures, where they hunt for rodents, birds, eggs, small
invertebrates and various remnants of food. Martens mate in the summer.
Geographically, martens occur in Europe and Asia, and were transported to USA.</span></div>

<br />Silverfish are miniscule wingless insects, whose body is covered with silvery scales. They are mostly nocturnal, when they seek out humid areas (bathrooms, toilets, basements), or places where there is plenty of food and shelter (bakeries, pastry-shops). Don't worry, the presence of silverfish in your home does not indicate lack of cleanliness, but more likely abundant hiding places. In small numbers they are essentially harmless, but they can cause problems when they multiply.</div>

<br />Silverfish avoid light and can often be spotted trying to hide in a corner after the lights are turned on in a room. They live on substances containing protein and saccharides, like paper, books, tapestries, cotton, leather, silk, flour, sugar, cereals and glue. Silverfish also live in nature, usually dwelling under rocks, fallen leaves, bark and such. They lay up the three eggs at a time in tiny cracks and can live up to six years.<br /><br />Learn more about silverfish on <a href="http://natureatyourhome.biodiversityexhibition.com/" target="_blank">Nature at your Home</a>.

In 1610, on the ship named Discovery, Henry Hudson set out on the fourth of his attempts to find the Northwest Passage. He sailed from the southern tip of Greenland to Labrador, and then turned to the north. He encountered a wide channel and assumed that this was the way to China. From that day on, the bay had been called Hudson's Bay. Then, he sailed into the bay, which he assumed to be part of the Pacific Ocean, then travelled further to the south into what is known today as James' Bay. </div>

In June of 1611, he set out to continue the expedition. Several days after leaving the bay, his crew mutinied. They had had enough of exploring and wanted to go home. The captain refused to consider their demands. When the crew was unable to persuade him, they set him, his son John and seven crew members loyal to Hudson adrift in a small boat and left them to their fate in a stormy and freezing sea, with no prospects of rescue. Nothing further is known of their fate.</div>

Locating the Northwest Passage eluded Henry Hudson, but his enthusiastic description of the area near the mouth of the Hudson River led to Dutch to colonize the area and found New Amsterdam, later New York.

Alexander
von Humboldt was a German scientist and traveler with a cosmopolitan education
and a wide range of interests. Together with a French botanist Bonpland, von
Humboldt arrived at Cuman, Venezuela on June 4th, 1799. They travelled along
the Orinoco River to its confluence with the Atabapo River. In November 1800,
they sailed to Havana and explored all over Cuba. In March 1801, they continued
to Cartagena, Colombia. Along the Rio Magdalena River, they travelled to Honda
and Bogota in Colombia and further to Quito, Eduador. They investigated the
western slopes of the Peruvian Andes and travelled all the way to the Pacific Ocean.
After a stay in Lima, Peru, they journeyed from Calla to Acapulco in Mexico,
where they arrived in March 1803. They spent an entire year exploring Mexico,
travelling mainly through volcanic mountain ranges. In 1804, they returned to
Cuba. In 1804, they returned to Europe via the United States.</div>

Humboldt
became the founder of volcanology; the science of terrestrial magnetism,
geobotany and climatology as part of which he first proposed the concept of
isotherms. He devoted himself to the study of volcanic peaks. During one
expedition, Humboldt (together with Bonpland) climbed Chimborazo to over 5,000
meters. Several places are named in honour of Humboldt including two bays in
California and New Guinea, two mountain ranges in central Asia and Nevada, a
lake and river in Nevada, a glacier in northwest Greenland, a current in the
Pacific Ocean and many cities in America.</div>

Mice are small rodents, active primarily at night. They have very sensitive hearing, sense of smell and sight. They eat almost everything they come across, food scraps, various insects, grain and even soap. Mice are found in nature as well as human dwellings, and move often. Besides the damage to food stocks, mice are unpleasant in that they leave their urine and droppings everywhere. They are also dangerous carriers of disease and parasites.<br />

Mice build nests under floors or in attics, and line them with paper, rags, leaves and similar materials. They breed very quickly; females can have up to twelve young, five to ten times per year. Gestation is approximately 20 days. The young are ready to leave the nest in another 20 days, and become sexually mature within their first year. In captivity they can live up to four years. They have many natural predators, like carnivores, snakes and birds.<br />

<a href="http://natureatyourhome.biodiversityexhibition.com/" target="_blank">„Nature at your home“</a> presents more than 20 different
species of plants or animals, that have learnt to exploit the benefits of
living close to human settlements. You can find them in your garden, as well as
directly within your house or flat, sometimes being much closer than you have
ever thought. Our new topic, however, also shows that these organisms are also
fascinating creatures of the nature. Have you, for example, known that <a href="http://natureatyourhome.biodiversityexhibition.com/en/card/oriental-cockroach" target="_blank">Oriental Cockroach (<i>Blatta orientalis</i>)</a> is
able to survive several weeks without its head until it starves to death? Or
that the <a href="http://natureatyourhome.biodiversityexhibition.com/en/card/human-flea" target="_blank">Human Flea (<i>Pulex irritans</i>)</a> posseses
the most complex reproductive organs among the animals? If not, then all you
need to do is to go through our new topic at the <a href="http://www.biodiversityexhibition.com/" target="_blank">BLE</a> website!<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">All of the information, pictures and paintings in
„Nature at you home“ are linked to their original sources at <a href="http://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/" target="_blank">BHL</a>, <a href="http://eol.org/" target="_blank">EoL</a> or

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The primary goal of the project was to
create an indexed archival system for digitized scientific literature, and free
access to this literature via a multifunctional portal (<a href="http://www.bhl-europe.eu/">www.bhl-europe.eu</a>). The digital copies of
this literature are thus freely available to all, scientists and public alike.
The portal officially goes live today, March 18<sup>th</sup>, 2013.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Literature on the BHL-Europe portal comes
from numerous European and also some non-European institutions and their
libraries, and contains many unique items, difficult to access otherwise.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The web portal is available in 14 languages.
It is possible to search in the literature (monographs, magazines, various book
editions and professional journals) by using various features on the site, such
as by either scientific taxonomy or local (common) names and synonyms. The
results may then be viewed directly online, or downloaded as .pdf, text (OCR)
or images (.jpg). The portal offers many additional functions.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The BHL-Europe portal (and other
international sources) is linked to the Biodiversity Library Exhibition (BLE, <a href="http://www.biodiversityexhibition.com/">www.biodiversityexhibition.com</a><span class="MsoHyperlink">)</span> platform, which publishes selected literature in
the form of interesting themes, information and an attractive design. Thanks to
the specific presentation of literature and interesting scientific items, the
platform has significant educational potential. The BLE platform was developed
by the National Museum as part of the BHL-Europe and OpenUP! projects, and is
constantly expanding.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

which makes available huge quantities of material from various European
collections (over 20 million objects). These objects encompass various types of
European cultural heritage items, such as architecture, history and art. Natural

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The release date of March 18<sup>th</sup>
was not chosen at random – the date coincides with the release date of the
American portal BHL US/UK/Australia (<a href="http://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/">www.biodiversitylibrary.org/</a>) in
its new user interface. BHL US/UK/Australia functions principally as an
aggregator of scientific literature in the USA, much like BHL-Europe does in
Europe. The portals currently differ in their function and content. Our
cooperative venture creates better access to scientific literature in a world
context, and functions as a digital literature archive. The joint release of
these two portals permits dissemination of this information in a much broader
scope, all over the world.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

grassland areas of Eurasia and North America. This mammal, closely related to today’s
Indian elephant, grew to 4.5 m and could weigh up to 4000 kg. It fed mainly on different
sorts of grass. The hair of <i><span style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Mammuthus

fly is a 2 cm long metallic green beetle of Meloidae family (Blister Beetles).
It can be found primarily in warm climates in Europe and Asia. This beetle
feeds on leaves of ash, privet and others deciduous trees. Spanish fly has a
very complicated development, going through several larval stages which
parasitize on solitary bees.</span><br />

male of Spanish fly produces liquid which contains a strong poison cantharidin.
Cantharidin has a significant aphrodisiac effect, which is why it was used
during the Middle Ages as an ingredient in various love potions. Since
antiquity, powder from these beetles has been used by various poisoners.</span><br />

poison produced by the Spanish fly causes festering blisters on skin contact,
and contact with the eyes can even cause blindness. A deadly dose is only 30
milligrams. Ingestion causes painful erection in men, bloody diarrhea and
intestinal problems. There have even been cases of damage to the heart, kidneys
or nervous system.</span><br />

considered a delicacy in Japan, although it is deadly dangerous. The tissues of
this fish (especially reproductive organs, liver, intestines and skin) of some
blowfish contain the poison of tetrodotoxin. First signs of poisoning appear in

first. Next are headaches, fatigue, lassitude, speech impediment and difficulty
to breathe. Gradual paralysis of breathing muscles follows, with a coma and
death within 24 hours after eating a blowfish.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<i>Be aware that some plants in parks and gardens could be poisonous, especially for children. One of them is Common Laburnum. And did you know that in earlier times, the seeds and leaves of Laburnum were used as a psycho-pharmaceutical agent to treat excessive irritability, psychoneurotic illnesses, migraines, chronic arsenic poisoning and liver ailments?</i><br />

is a robust shrub or small tree with smooth gray bark, reaching heights of up
to seven meters. It blooms from April through May with profuse cascades of labiates
yellow racemes. Pods are bean-like, colored brownish-gray. This angiosperm is
also known as golden rain or golden chain. It originated in southern and
southwestern Europe, but is frequently planted in parks and gardens as an
ornamental shrub. Its hardy character also led to it frequently being planted
around schools, and this was a frequent source of mass poisonings in children.</span><br />

contains poisonous cytosyne, which is present primarily in the flowers, seeds
and roots. Most poisonings occur in children, from playing with pods and seeds.
A fatal dose for children is three to four pods, or twelve to fifteen seeds of
laburnum. Initial symptoms of poisoning appear thirty minutes to an hour after
ingestion, and include burning mouth, nausea and vomiting. Subsequent symptoms
are intense stomach and intestinal cramps, sweating, headaches and muscle
spasms, up through circulatory failure. Fatal poisonings are manifested as
whole-body paralysis with death from lung paralysis in one to several hours.</span><br />

sought-after sheathed woodtufts, which are noted for their sweet fruity smell
and occurrence on deciduous wood.</span></div>

mushroom causes very serious poisonings. The toxins it contains are not broken
down by heat, and remain poisonous even after being thoroughly cooked. A fatal
dose for an adult is around 10-15 mushrooms - considering how small and thin
they are, that is not very much material. Poisonings have an effect similar to
that of the death cap - damage to liver and kidneys. The smaller number of
poisonings, compared to the death cap, is somewhat due to its relative
scarcity, but largely because most pickers regard all small mushrooms growing
from stumps as inedible 'toadstools'.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Though a very common
spice today, its origins were long shrouded in mystery. It was known in ancient
Greece and Rome, but no one knew where it came from! A fable by Arab merchants
claimed that wild raptors went looking for cinnamon in faraway lands and
brought it back to line their nests. Brave Arabs then stole cinnamon from the
nests to sell it. According to the storyteller in “1001 Nights”, cinnamon even
grows on the bottom of a secret lake! But alas, the truth is less spectacular.
Cinnamon comes from the <i>Cinnamomum verum </i>tree.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<i>Atrax robustus</i> is the most feared spider in Australia. It has a relatively small black-brown body. Females can be up to 7 cm long, while males are somewhat smaller at 5.5 cm. Its chelicerae (fangs) can be up to 5 mm long. It lives under logs and rocks in forests, parks and urban gardens in southeast Australia. Like other members of the infraorder Mygalomorphae, it builds funnel-shaped webs, made of spider silk. It is very aggressive and often attacks anything coming close to its nest. When threatened, it rears up on its hind legs and rocks its body. It attacks by jumping onto its victim and delivering a very painful bite.<br />

Atrax poison is neurotoxic and extremely strong; initial symptoms appear within ten minutes, and death can occur within a few hours. Besides burning pain, the bitten area swells. Lymph nodes become infected, salivation increases, along with sweating, tearing and urination, sometimes accompanied by nausea, diarrhea, vomiting and ague. Further symptoms include stomach cramps and a tightening sensation across the chest. It is interesting that poison from this spider is extremely dangerous to humans and other primates, while other animals are essentially immune to it.<br />

holly is one of the symbols of Christmas. Christian folklore states that holly
thorns represent Christ's crown of thorns, and the red berries his blood. Holly
captures our attention with its prickly, waxy leaves and later, its bright red
berries. Its home is western, central and southern Europe, northern Africa,
Asia Minor and northern Iran. It is often planted as a decorative shrub in
parks. From May through June it blooms with tiny white flowers. In the fall,
these give rise to small red berries. The plant contains the alkaloid

poisoning occur mainly in children, from consuming the bright red berries.
Symptoms are nausea, strong diarrhea and sleepiness. Initial symptoms can occur
in children with the consumption of as few as two berries. A fatal dose for an
adult is considered to be 20-30 berries. However, newer research suggests that
even larger doses cause only vomiting and diarrhea.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

living as a hemi-parasite on other plants. It uses its special root-like organs
(haustoria) to steal nutrients, water and minerals from its host. As opposed to
true parasites, it also uses photosynthesis to create its own organic
substances. There is only one species of mistletoe in Europe: European or
Common Mistletoe (<i>Viscum album</i>). It
can grow on deciduous or coniferous trees, dependent on the subspecies. The
poisonous qualities of mistletoe have not been conclusively proven; only larger
quantities are known to cause diarrhea and stomachaches. Only in nursing
infants can poisoning have more severe consequences.</span></div>

Cumin consists of the dried or ground seeds of the herb <i>Cuminum cyminum</i>. It originally was cultivated in the Far East. They are a common ingredient in African tagine and cuscus, and in Spain, cumin is often mixed with cinnamon.</div>

One of the most interesting anecdotes involving cumin is probably the one of C. Julius Vinder, a Roman living in the time of emperor Nero. He used cumin to induce paleness, and pale as a ghost he went to find the emperor. and promised to make him his heir, if Nero would grant him authority over Gaul. The greedy emperor immediately did so, eagerly anticipating Vinder's death, who, however, was healthy as a horse.</div>

lie in India, where it was said to be sanctified by the god Vishna. The name

regarded and that throughout European history, many medicinal and ritual uses
were found for it!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US">Salt duck, rub with thyme
mixture of thyme and oil, fill cavity with sections of orange, apple, bay
leaves and parsley. Bake. When the duck is almost tender, baste with wine.
Continue frequent basting until skin is crisp and red. Finish by adding orange
juice and cut-up skin to drippings. Portion duck, surround with orange slices
baked in butter and sprinkle with thyme. Serve with rice, white bread or
potatoes.<o:p></o:p></span></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0
