	Extinction - Facts, Information, and Encyclopedia Reference article
		Endangered species are species that are in danger of becoming extinct; several organizations attempt to preserve recognized endangered species through a variety of conservation programs.
		Species listed under this status by the WCU are not known to have any living specimens in the wild, and are maintained only in zoos or other artificial environments.
		The rapidly dwindling species of dragon-flies, butterflies and fireflies from densely populated areas (where satellite foot-prints and mobile communication infrastructures are plentiful, India or China for instance) has been blamed by some on the rise of the mobile phone, although in the absence of studies, this is speculative.

	Bee - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		While the specialization of island genetics is often unable to compete once brought back into contact with larger populations, in the theoretical case of bees and flowers this teaming-up turned out to be among the most effective survival traits in natural history.
		Certain species of allodapine bees (relatives of carpenter bees) also have primitively eusocial colonies, with unusual levels of interaction between the adult bees and the developing brood; this is called "progressive provisioning", when a larva's food is supplied gradually as it develops, and this system is also seen in honeybees and some bumblebees.
		In a few cases only one species of bee can pollinate a plant species, and some plants are endangered because their pollinator is dying off.

	endangered - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about endangered (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		An endangered species is not a new phenomenon; extinction is an integral part of evolution.
		The replacement of one species by another usually involves the eradication of the less successful form, and ensures the continuance and diversification of life in all forms.
		According to the Red Data List of endangered species, published by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) in 2003, 25% of all mammal species and 12.4% of all bird species are threatened with extinction.

	Online Encyclopedia and Dictionary - Bird
		Flightless species are vulnerable to extinction when humans or the mammals they introduce arrive in their habitat, for example the Great Auk, flightless rails, and the moa of New Zealand.
		Depending on the species, the gizzard may contain small pieces of grit or stone that the bird has swallowed to aid in the grinding process of digestion.
		Many species have become extinct through over-hunting, such as the Passenger Pigeon, and many others have become endangered or extinct through habitat destruction, deforestation and intensive agriculture being common causes for declines.

	Endangered species - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		While species have evolved and become extinct on a regular basis for the last several hundred million years, the number of species becoming extinct since the Industrial Revolution has no precedent in biological history.
		While most people readily relate to endangerment of large mammals or birdlife, some of the greatest ecological issues are the threats to stability of whole ecosystems if key species vanish at any level of the food chain.
		Another argument against listing species is the use of the "shoot, shovel, and shut up"[5] method of clearing endangered species from an area of land.

	Endangered species news
		A technical definition used for classification in the United States referring to a species that is in danger of extinction throughout all or a significant portion of its range.

	Cat - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
		Cats can be destructive to ecosystems in which they are not native and whose species did not have time to adapt to their introduction.
		Feral cats are thought to be a major predator of Hawaiian coastal and forest habitats, and are one species among many responsible for the decline of endemic forest bird species as well as seabirds like the Wedge-tailed Shearwater.
		Environmental concerns may be minimal in most of England where cats are an established species and few to none of the local prey species are endangered.

	Rhinoceros - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Several rhinoceros species became extinct within geologically recent times, notably the Giant Unicorn and the Woolly Rhinoceros in Eurasia; the extent to which climate change or human predation was responsible is debated.
		The critically endangered Sumatran Rhinoceros is the only surviving representative of the most primitive group, the Dicerorhinini, which emerged in the Miocene (abut 20 million years ago).
		None of the five rhinoceros species have secure futures; the White Rhinoceros is perhaps the least endangered, the Javan Rhinoceros survives in only tiny numbers (estimated at 60 animals in 2002) and is one of the two or three most endangered large mammals anywhere in the world.

		The breeding of endangered species is coordinated by cooperative breeding programmes containing international studbooks and coordinators, who evaluate the roles of individual animals and institutions from a global or regional perspective.
		Many zoos now have special buildings for nocturnal animals, with dim lighting during the day, so the animals will be active when visitors are there, and brighter lights at night to ensure that they sleep.
		The majority of the large non-profit and serious institutions with conservationist, educational as well as scientific orientation, are working to improve their animal enclosures, although it remains difficult to create acceptable and sizable artificial environments for some special species (for example, dolphins and other whales).

	Spawning Summary
		Spawning aggregation is defined as a group of fish of the same species that are gathered together for the purpose of spawning—releasing sperm or eggs for the purpose of reproduction.
		Propagation of imperiled fish species is often more than twice as costly as rearing non-native game fish due to genetic analyses, special diet requirements, and rearing conditions that enhance survival in the wild, along with rigorous monitoring and evaluation studies." A critical factor in the reproduction of endangered species is the understanding of spawning aggregations.
		There are many reef fish species that reproduce in unprotected federal waters of the U.S. Caribbean, the Gulf of Mexico, and the South Atlantic.

		Depending on taxonomic viewpoint, there are about 8,800–10,200 living bird species (plus about 120–130 that have become extinct in the span of human history) in the world, making them the most diverse class of terrestrial vertebrates.
		Birds possess a ventriculus, or gizzard, that is composed of four muscular bands that act to rotate and crush food by shifting the food from one area to the next within the gizzard.
		This region is sometimes featherless, and the skin may be tinted (as in many species of the cormorant family).
