South African ex-security contractor Chrystal Booysen has officially retired to her family game stud farm after her last mission took a dark turn. American private investigator Rowan Zackery is hired to rescue Australian corruption-fighting magnate Curtis Wilson’s daughter. But Rowan is out of his depth in Africa, and he needs Chrystal’s expertise. The longer Akina is missing, the greater the likelihood of her being dead. And Rowan doesn’t want to find yet another body… Is it possible that Mother Stella-Rose, Chrystal’s estranged Childhood friend, might be involved somehow in the disappearance of the children? As they chase the elusive trail, can they save Akina, or will they be too late?

Imported to the United States from Europe in 1890 and released in Central Park, New York City, to fight the growing number of insect pests at that time, the starlings quickly adapted themselves to the new climate. They are now at home almost everywhere. The starling is typical of many other birds, and this book with simple text is a wealth of birdlore. The marvel of streamline design and construction which is a bird's body-a design which has been copied to a great extent in building airplanes-is carefully explained. We follow the starling from nesting time, when the female busily sets the nest to rights, until the young ones are completely independent. As in "Pinto's Journey," "Turtles" and "Coyotes," also by Wilfrid Bronson and published by Sunstone Press, the text in this book for young readers is in large, clear type, and there are many illustrations on each page.

The voices of birds have always been a source of fascination. Nature’s Music brings together some of the world’s experts on birdsong, to review the advances that have taken place in our understanding of how and why birds sing, what their songs and calls mean, and how they have evolved. All contributors have strived to speak, not only to fellow experts, but also to the general reader. The result is a book of readable science, richly illustrated with recordings and pictures of the sounds of birds. Bird song is much more than just one behaviour of a single, particular group of organisms. It is a model for the study of a wide variety of animal behaviour systems, ecological, evolutionary and neurobiological. Bird song sits at the intersection of breeding, social and cognitive behaviour and ecology. As such interest in this book will extend far beyond the purely ornithological - to behavioural ecologists psychologists and neurobiologists of all kinds. * The scoop on local dialects in birdsong* How birdsongs are used for fighting and flirting* The writers are all international authorities on their subject

Birdsong is well-known for being performed during the breeding season to attract mates and defend territories. However, many birds, such as the European starling (Sturnus vulgaris), also sing in large flocks during the non-breeding season. This behavior, referred to here as gregarious song, is thought to be intrinsically motivated and important for social cohesion within the flock. Relatively little is known about the mechanisms that produce gregarious song. In this dissertation, I explore a conserved neural circuit that may regulate gregarious song and other non-sexual, social behaviors across vertebrates. In Chapter 1, I further characterize the avian nucleus accumbens (NAC) and its subregions by comparing them to mammals. I find that immediate early gene activity positively correlates with gregarious song produced in flocks, but not with songs produced while breeding. In Chapter 2, I discovered that pharmacologically stimulating mu-opioid receptors within the NAC and the medial preoptic area (mPOA ) increases gregarious song and leads to the establishment of a conditioned place preference. In Chapter 3, I used RNA-sequencing of the starling's mPOA to uncover possibly novel modulators of gregarious song, including a cluster of co-expressing glutamatergic genes that correlated with song. In Chapter 4, I compared the RNA-sequencing profile of the mPOA in singing starlings with that of rats performing juvenile play, to uncover a shared neurotranscriptomic profile of intrinsically motivated social behaviors. This included multiple glutamatergic genes and multiple microglia-specific genes. The work presented here provides evidence for an interconnected, highly conserved circuit in the brain that works to regulate gregarious song and other non-sexual social behaviors across vertebrates.

"The function of the complex song of the European Starling (Sturnus vulgaris) was examined. Song playback experiments showed that both male and female starlings were attracted by song, and complex song inhibited males from entering nestboxes. Wild starlings (at least two years old when first recorded) showed extensive changes in the composition of their song phrase repertoires and most also increased the size of their repertoires, which will result in a correlation between age and repertoire size in this species. Females prefer males that have more complex song, and this preference remained significant when preferences for certain nest sites were controlled. Males with larger repertoires did not spend more time incubating or make more feeding visits to nestlings than did males with smaller repertoires. The evolution of complex song in the European starling is consistent with an age-indicator model of sexual selection, in which aspects of male quality correlated with age are advertised by the complexity of male song." --
