Rubyung (Pyrrosia longifolia)

Dlium Rubyung (Pyrrosia longifolia)

Rubyung (Pyrrosia longifolia) is a species in the Polypodiaceae, an epiphytic fern that grows on large trees, forming dense colonies and covering the surface of tree trunks, growing wild in the shade or under the shade of the forest canopy, sometimes in open areas, plantations and unused land. taken care of.

P. longifolia has roots with fibrous rhizomes. The stems are in the form of rhizomes that grow creepingly, long, dark brown, 3 mm in diameter and densely packed. Ptiolus are blackish brown, 10-15 mm long, 4 mm in diameter and have trichomes.





The leaves are green, thick, long linear, with flat edges, oblong-shaped sterile and wide in the middle, fertile have rounded tips, up to 110 cm long, up to 3 cm wide, the upper surface is smooth and shiny.

The sorus is attached to the lower surface, is round, clustered on some of the upper leaves and is brown in color. The scales on the rhizoma are oblong-ovate, 2-3 mm long, dark brown in the middle, flat edges, yellowish white at the edges and have more than 100 hairs. The trichomes on the ptiolus and sterile leaves are stellate, 8-9 arms and white in color.

Humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) manufacture bubble-nets as tools to increase prey intake

NEWS - Humpback whales ( Megaptera novaeangliae ) create bubble net tools while foraging, consisting of internal tangential rings, and actively control the number of rings, their size, depth and horizontal spacing between the surrounding bubbles. These structural elements of the net increase prey intake sevenfold. Researchers have known that humpback whales create “bubble nets” for hunting, but the new report shows that the animals also manipulate them in a variety of ways to maximize catches. The behavior places humpbacks among the rare animals that make and use their own tools. “Many animals use tools to help them find food, but very few actually make or modify these tools themselves,” said Lars Bejder, director of the Marine Mammal Research Program (MMRP), University of Hawaii at Manoa. “Humpback whales in southeast Alaska create elaborate bubble nets to catch krill. They skillfully blow bubbles in patterns that form a web with internal rings. They actively control details such ...
