#Earthworms Trap Carbon, But Do They Influence Climate Change?(ISNS)--Earthworms have long been the organic gardener's friend.

Essentially earthworms created a carbon trap. We're losing the litter on the surface of the soil

The footage comes from more than 100 automated infrared camera traps set up in nature reserves in the Sichuan region.

#Funnel-web Spiders: Families, Bites & Other Facts Funnel-web spiders are spiders that build funnel-shaped webs

which they use as burrows or to trap prey. Three distinct spider families are known popularly as funnel-web spiders.

Spiders in the Agelenidae Dipluridae and Hexathelidae families all build funnel-shaped webs but that is where their similarities end.

and their funnel webs are lined really burrows with silk These spiders have a dangerous bite. Two well-known species of Hexathelidae are the Sydney funnel spider and the northern tree funnel spider;

Spiders in the Dipluridae family are commonly known as funnel-web tarantulas. Their funnel webs are rather messy.

Most of these spiders live in the tropics of Central and South america but they are found worldwide including Australia Africa and Central asia.

Web Residents of grassy areas will recognize the funnel webs scattered in the grass during the summer and early fall.

or in the cracks of shingles (anywhere there is a crevice for them to build a funnel web inside).

Instead prey gets caught in a large sheet web that surrounds the funnel s entrance. Depending on the species the sheet web may

or may not be sticky but either way prey gets caught in its slippery or sticky surface.

The spider calmly waits calmly in its funnel until it feels the sheet web vibrate as prey gets caught in it.

Dangerous species All species of Australian funnel-web spiders are considered dangerous but the two most notorious are the Sydney funnel-web spider and the northern tree-dwelling funnel spider.

The black or brown Sydney funnel-web spider s habitat correlates closely with the greater Sydney area.

Male Sydney funnel-webs are exclusively responsible for human deaths from this spider's bite. Their venom is five times as toxic as the female s

but also trap the light so that viewers can see the intended colors from all angles. The trick Guo said was to get light to enter grooves much smaller than the wavelengths of light.

His legislation establishes clever traps a series of procedural hurdles that would make science at federal agencies subject to endless challenges by special interests that do not want to see agency regulations move forward.

Of course any time you introduce a species there are many potential pitfalls but this plan is cautious

Striking Images of Locust Swarms To detect the pests agriculture officials in California have placed about 100000 traps across the state.

As part of the study the team installed bird traps in blue tit nesting boxes a process that sometimes scared the birds away from home

and then they created synthetic leaf traps or biomimetic plastic surfaces. Traditionally in Bulgaria Serbia and other southeast European countries households with infestations of bed bugs have thwarted the evasive little bloodsuckers by strewing kidney bean leaves on the floor at night.

which are potent greenhouse gases that trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere and contribute to the destruction of the ozone layer.

This dominant female nicknamed Trike is believed to have lost a hand and lower arm in a snare accident before the creation of the protected forest in the southern highlands of Tanzania.

Greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide trap heat helping warm the globe. The surge in carbon dioxide levels due to human activity since the Industrial revolution is now causing an overall warming of the planet that is having impacts around the globe.

#Spider Traps Prey Using Amazing Ladder Webs Scientists have gotten a rare glimpse of the enigmatic odd-clawed spider

Observations of the system revealed a dust trap of millimeter-size grains on one side of the star with smaller micrometer-size particles spread evenly throughout the disc.

Enter the dust-trap theory: If there were a way to form an environment for the dust to grow perhaps it could solve the radial-drift problem.

and could potentially have created the massive planet that is partially responsible now for creating this other trap said Phil Armitage a theoretical astrophysicist at the University of Colorado in Boulder who wrote an analysis of the paper in the journal Science.

He said the dust-trap theory has been around for a while but few astronomers suspected it would be so obvious in an image.

#Whales Trap Dinner with Mouthful of Swirling Bristles Humpback and bowhead whales create their own food nets from specialized bristles in their mouths to more efficiently nab fishy morsels a new study of baleen whales suggests.

Both rely on baleen a system of hairy bristles that line their mouths and trap food.

The whales'tongues wear away the inner edges of the plates to create a fringe that traps krill and other tasty morsels.

Jerry Karnas the Center for Biological Diversity's population campaign director in Miami is all too familiar with these political pitfalls particularly in addressing the impact of population growth on climate change.

Venus on the other hand has a very dense atmosphere that traps solar radiation; the average temperature on Venus is about 864 degrees F (462 degrees C). The exchange of incoming and outgoing radiation that warms the Earth is referred often to as the greenhouse effect because a greenhouse works in much the same way.

so they contain more old trees would help trap more carbon (making the forest a carbon sink).

Here s another potential pitfall. Even if there is a net conservation benefit to the area where the offset project is carried out these gains could be wiped out

Trap More Wolves (Op-Ed) Zack Strong is an NRDC wildlife advocate in Bozeman Mont.

Another amendment would allow landowners with a kill permit to use foothold traps to kill wolves that have attacked livestock.

Further foothold traps are non-selective and would be more likely to capture a non-threatening non-offending animal than a specific wolf.

Allowing the use of foothold traps could also result in the capture and killing of threatened and endangered species such as wolverines lynx and grizzly bears as well as black bears deer elk moose mountain lions eagles and yes landowners'own dogs and livestock the very animals

these traps would supposedly be protecting. The odds of incidental captures would be given particularly high that landowners would be allowed to leave these traps out a full month

and a half after the livestock attack had occurred. A third amendment would remove the requirement that FWP set quotas during the wolf hunting

To gather information on the abundance of brown hyaena I turned to camera traps. Wildlife surveys have been enhanced greatly by the development of camera traps.

A key factor is the capture confirmation and monitoring of rare and elusive species particularly when the species is located across large remote areas.

Camera traps are excellent tools that have grown in popularity with conservation ecologists. However every camera trap needs to be set up monitored

and protected areas to reach the designated camera trap sites come rain or shine. In the farmland acquiring permission to gain access to private land was critical.

and mark their territory through latrines at road junctions making these ideal sites for placing camera traps.

A total of 800 camera trap nights produced nearly 35000 images of which 10000 were made up of carnivores ranging from the large ones such as lion leopard spotted hyaena brown hyaena wild dog to the medium-sized such as honey badger jackal civet serval caracal

Wildlife Services agents also use a variety of traps and snares. These devices often capture non-target animals including rare and threatened species such as wolverines lynx and grizzly bears.

and killed more than 520 animals in leghold traps and more than 850 in neck snares including mountain lions river otters pronghorn antelope deer badgers beavers turtles turkeys ravens ducks geese great blue herons and even a golden eagle.

Frustratingly these non-selective methods continue to be used even though their indiscriminate nature has been known for decades.

Even though I was experienced an professional trapper my trap victims included non-target species such as bald eagles and golden eagles a variety of hawks and other birds rabbits sage grouse pet dogs deer

Because of trap injuries these non-target species had to be destroyed. And scientists continue to describethe indiscriminate nature of snares.

While studying the impacts of wolf snares on moose Alaska biologist Craig Gardner reported in the journal Alces:

Wolf snares can be even less selective than snares set for smaller furbearers because cable diameter and loop circumference are larger set height is higher

and the size and strength of a wolf require that minimum breaking forces must be high...

Based on my 15 years of experience releasing nearly 40 moose from snares and discussions with other Alaskan biologists

I concluded that most moose restrained in wolf snares die either at the capture site or from frozen limbs or nose subsequent to release.

That is why NRDC recently supported a ban on body-gripping traps and snares in the City of Los angeles. It's why we've opposed the trapping

and snaring of wolves in the northern Rockies. It's why we've pushed for federal legislation prohibiting the use of poisons to kill wildlife.

Nature Newsbaiting mosquito traps with cards soaked in honey, and then analysing VIRAL RNA in saliva left by mosquitoes that feed on them,

researchers often use traps baited with carbon dioxide or light to attract the insects, which are then ground up

and his colleagues have developed a method for collecting mosquito saliva by allowing the insects to feed on honey-drenched cards placed in a trap filled with carbon dioxide.

Their results showed that traps containing honey-soaked cards attracted more mosquitoes than those without cards,

with more than 75%of mosquitoes consuming honey while in the traps. Each week, the team collected cards and trapped mosquitoes and shipped them to a lab,
