Why are the leaves on my Acacia Dealbata falling off? I bought a Acadia Dealbata a few weeks ago, but since it was still too cold to place outside (the label said it needed a temp. of min. 4 Celcius), I've put it in my living room. The room is generally warm, but not hot and certainly not cold. I've kept the plant watered, although it seems to dry out really quickly, making it hard to keep up with (I guess I've ended up watering it three times a week). Unfortunately we don't get much sun in our living room, so maybe that's the problem. However all my other plants don't seem to suffer from the 2-3 hours a day filtered sun-light light. Of course, they aren't flowering plants either. And, to add to the confusion, at the top of the tree, there're are several new spring-green leaves, although the lower leaves seem to be suffering. Help!!! I got it for my birthday, and it wasn't particularly cheap, so I'd really like to save it somehow but can't find much info on the web or anywhere. Thanks for answering my question. Oh, the falling leaves resemble pine needles. In other words, the leaves aren't falling off from the trunk of the tree, rather the "needles" are falling off the leaves and are kind of yellowish looking.

is a, 18W Phillips genie, sufficient artificial light for indoor growing of plants? I have 3 African tree seedlings in pots, Acacia Galpinii, to be exact. I want to make bonsais out of them but I live in Holland and do not have enough natural light in the house. They need to be outside actually but our climate is to cold for this kind of tree, so I went looking for grow lights and the best I could find was energy saving lamps that emit 100W of light using 18W of energy. I do not know if it would be enough to sustain the plants through the winter and do I need more than 3 of these laps.

A question for veggies:Do you know that plants have life so how can you eat it? All botanists agree that plants have life here is an example: "Plants seem to know which ants will steal their nectar, closing when these ants are about, opening only when there is enough dew on their stems to keep the ants from climbing. The more sophisticated acacia plant actually enlists the protective services of certain ants which it rewards with nectar in return for the ants' protection against other insects and herbivorous mammals," thus serving the same function as friends and allies do in the animal and human realms. Some vegetation develop a bitter taste, some ooze gummy secretions, while others grow thorns to defend themselves. Acacia trees produce tannin to defend themselves when they are grazed upon by animals. The airborne scent of the tannin is picked up by other acacia trees, which then start to produce tannin themselves as a protetction from the nearby animals. When attacked by caterpillars, some plants can release chemical signals to attract parasitic wasps that attack the caterpillars Just another typical Brit presuming plants do not feel pain are you not by eating them depriving them the gift of life?

Anyone culturing plants under artificial light? I need the electromagnetic spectrum of fluorescent lamps? I need the spectrum (image), as well as lumens and colour temperature specifications, of the following lamps from Philips: TLK/40W (which is an UV lamp), Cool White 18W/840 and the Master TL-D Super 80 18W/827. I have tried a crazy lot of searches with poor results. Or ideas on what lamps to use, beside HID- an HPS lamps, would also help. It's for sustaining some Southern African trees (Acacia) indoors.

Where can I find botanical sketches of Australian Native plants? Where can I find detailed botanical drawings of Native Australian species from groups like Eucalyptus, Grevillea, Proteacea, Acacia (wattles) etc? Colour is preferable but not essential. Sketches like those done by Joseph Banks would be perfect. I'm finding it very hard to find such illustrations in libraries here. I love Australian natives and would love to incorporate some great drawings into some Bicycle decals I'm designing.

What killed my Mini Cog (Acacia Cognata)? I planted three Mini Cogs in June last year and they all grew really well to begin with. Two of them are still doing really well but one of them has died recently and I can't work out why. I couldn't find any sign of pests and when I pulled the dead plant out the root system seemed fine. It was getting just as much water and fertilization as all of my other plants. So I really am at a lost as to what may have killed it. I hope someone can help as I've never really been any good at gardening but would like to be! Thanks :)

Water or Paper? In Asian countries people traditionally use water after ablution rather than paper. I find that water leaves you much cleaner than paper! Besides, paper is made from trees. The jungle of Borneo is cut down, and fast growing acacia are planted which in turn spoil the regional biochemistry of the soil. The trees are cut down with heavy machinery, fossil fuels are used to send them to countries where environmental concerns are not yet an issue, and transformed with chemical agents into bleached paper which is shipped back to Malaysia where it is sold at formidable prices to unsuspecting consumers who flush it down the toilet. OK, water treatment is not without its negative side effects on the environment but those are negligible when compared to the entire machinery of the paper manufacturing industry. When you want to do something for your environment do you have trains of thought like this, too? What is your contribution to environmental conservation, water or paper? ---- uh, Lazaus won't be invited for dinner at my place... --- seems that we are divided when it comes to environmental issues... let t come, I give you another couple of hours!

First Spider Known To Science That Feeds Mainly On Plant Food ScienceDaily (Oct. 13, 2009) — There are approximately 40,000 species of spiders in the world, all of which have been thought to be strict predators that feed on insects or other animals. Now, scientists have found that a small Central American jumping spider has a uniquely different diet: the species Bagheera kiplingi feeds predominantly on plant food. The research, led by Christopher Meehan of Villanova University and Eric Olson of Brandeis University, has revealed the extraordinary ecology and behavior in Bagheera kiplingi, which lives throughout much of Central America and southern Mexico. There, the spider inhabits several species of acacia shrubs involved in a co-evolutionary mutualism with certain ants that has long been a staple of ecology textbooks: the ants fiercely guard the plants against most would-be herbivores, while the acacias provide both housing for the ants via swollen, hollow spines and food in the form of nectar (excreted from glands at the base of each leaf) and specialized leaf tips known as Beltian bodies. The Bagheera spiders are "cheaters" in the ant-acacia system, stealing and eating both nectar and—most remarkably—Beltian bodies without helping to defend the plant. The spiders get the job done through active avoidance of patrolling acacia-ants, relying on excellent eyesight, agility, and cognitive skills. How do the spiders get around the ants that are supposed to be guarding the acacias and gobbling up the Beltian bodies themselves? First, Meehan said, the spiders have what might be thought of as "sheer wit." "Jumping spiders in general possess incredibly advanced sensory-cognitive skills and eight-legged agility, and Bagheera is no exception," he said. "Individuals employ diverse, situation-specific strategies to evade ants, and the ants simply cannot catch them." The spiders also seem to build their webs in less attractive plant "real estate" and to actively defend their nests against ant invaders. Finally, Meehan added, the spiders might actually mimic the ants. Young spiders in particular look a lot like and seem to act like ants, one reason they have perhaps flown under scientists' radar for so long despite intensive study of the ants and acacias. Meehan suspects that the spiders wear the ants' chemical scent as well, a notion he is now investigating in more detail. The research will appear in the October 13 issue of Current Biology. Co-author Olson first discovered herbivory by the spiders in Costa Rica in 2001. In 2007, Meehan independently observed the same behaviors in a spider population in coastal Quintana Roo, south of Cancún, Mexico, during a field project for a Tropical Biology course taught by Villanova professor and study co-author Robert Curry. The two research groups subsequently combined efforts to jointly publish the discovery. The research also formed the basis of Meehan's Masters degree from Villanova, completed in 2009. In the field, the researchers documented behavioral patterns through direct observations and high-definition video recordings. Herbivory was especially clear in the Mexican population: Beltian bodies accounted for more than 90% of 140 food items identified. According to Meehan, "This is the first spider in the world known to deliberately 'hunt' plant parts; it is also the first found to go after plants as a primary food source." Spiders in Costa Rica more frequently supplemented plant food with animal prey items, including ant larvae. "What surprised us most about discovering this spider's extraordinary ecology was to find it on the ant-acacias," according to Curry. "This well-known mutualism has been studied by tropical ecologists for nearly 50 years, yet the spider's role was not noticed until Olson's discovery in 2001. We were lucky to find in Mexico an area where the spider is both exceptionally abundant and even more herbivorous than in Costa Rica." The researchers backed up their field observations with the results of laboratory analyses—conducted with the help of co-authors Matthew Reudink and Kurt Kyser of Queens University, Canada—of carbon and nitrogen isotopes for the various components of the ant-acacia system (Beltian bodies, ants, Bagheera spiders) and for other kinds of local spiders. The ratio of 15N to 14N, which provides an indication of a species' trophic position, showed that Bagheera kiplingi was more similar to the herbivorous acacia-ants than to any of the other spiders sampled. Meanwhile, the ratio of 13C to 12C, which generally yields a match between an animal and its food, was almost identical for Bagheera spiders and the Beltian bodies. Collectively, the data show that Bagheera kiplingi obtains most of its diet directly or indirectly from the ant-acacia plants, especially in México. This r

"This well-known mutualism has been studied by tropical ecologists for nearly 50 years, yet the spider's role was not noticed until Olson's discovery in 2001. We were lucky to find in Mexico an area where the spider is both exceptionally abundant and even more herbivorous than in Costa Rica." The researchers backed up their field observations with the results of laboratory analyses—conducted with the help of co-authors Matthew Reudink and Kurt Kyser of Queens University, Canada—of carbon and nitrogen isotopes for the various components of the ant-acacia system (Beltian bodies, ants, Bagheera spiders) and for other kinds of local spiders. The ratio of 15N to 14N, which provides an indication of a species' trophic position, showed that Bagheera kiplingi was more similar to the herbivorous acacia-ants than to any of the other spiders sampled. Meanwhile, the ratio of 13C to 12C, which generally yields a match between an animal and its food, was almost identical for Bagheera spiders and the Beltian bodies. Collectively, the data show that Bagheera kiplingi obtains most of its diet directly or indirectly from the ant-acacia plants, especially in México. This research has broader implications, acco

help summarize article please please? can you please help me summarize this article. If you cant help please dont leave a comment First Spider Known To Science That Feeds Mainly On Plant Food ScienceDaily (Oct. 13, 2009) — There are approximately 40,000 species of spiders in the world, all of which have been thought to be strict predators that feed on insects or other animals. Now, scientists have found that a small Central American jumping spider has a uniquely different diet: the species Bagheera kiplingi feeds predominantly on plant food. The research, led by Christopher Meehan of Villanova University and Eric Olson of Brandeis University, has revealed the extraordinary ecology and behavior in Bagheera kiplingi, which lives throughout much of Central America and southern Mexico. There, the spider inhabits several species of acacia shrubs involved in a co-evolutionary mutualism with certain ants that has long been a staple of ecology textbooks: the ants fiercely guard the plants against most would-be herbivores, while the acacias provide both housing for the ants via swollen, hollow spines and food in the form of nectar (excreted from glands at the base of each leaf) and specialized leaf tips known as Beltian bodies. The Bagheera spiders are "cheaters" in the ant-acacia system, stealing and eating both nectar and—most remarkably—Beltian bodies without helping to defend the plant. The spiders get the job done through active avoidance of patrolling acacia-ants, relying on excellent eyesight, agility, and cognitive skills. How do the spiders get around the ants that are supposed to be guarding the acacias and gobbling up the Beltian bodies themselves? First, Meehan said, the spiders have what might be thought of as "sheer wit." "Jumping spiders in general possess incredibly advanced sensory-cognitive skills and eight-legged agility, and Bagheera is no exception," he said. "Individuals employ diverse, situation-specific strategies to evade ants, and the ants simply cannot catch them." The spiders also seem to build their webs in less attractive plant "real estate" and to actively defend their nests against ant invaders. Finally, Meehan added, the spiders might actually mimic the ants. Young spiders in particular look a lot like and seem to act like ants, one reason they have perhaps flown under scientists' radar for so long despite intensive study of the ants and acacias. Meehan suspects that the spiders wear the ants' chemical scent as well, a notion he is now investigating in more detail. The research will appear in the October 13 issue of Current Biology. Co-author Olson first discovered herbivory by the spiders in Costa Rica in 2001. In 2007, Meehan independently observed the same behaviors in a spider population in coastal Quintana Roo, south of Cancún, Mexico, during a field project for a Tropical Biology course taught by Villanova professor and study co-author Robert Curry. The two research groups subsequently combined efforts to jointly publish the discovery. The research also formed the basis of Meehan's Masters degree from Villanova, completed in 2009. In the field, the researchers documented behavioral patterns through direct observations and high-definition video recordings. Herbivory was especially clear in the Mexican population: Beltian bodies accounted for more than 90% of 140 food items identified. According to Meehan, "This is the first spider in the world known to deliberately 'hunt' plant parts; it is also the first found to go after plants as a primary food source." Spiders in Costa Rica more frequently supplemented plant food with animal prey items, including ant larvae. "What surprised us most about discovering this spider's extraordinary ecology was to find it on the ant-acacias," according to Curry. "This well-known mutualism has been studied by tropical ecologists for nearly 50 years, yet the spider's role was not noticed until Olson's discovery in 2001.

Meanwhile, the ratio of 13C to 12C, which generally yields a match between an animal and its food, was almost identical for Bagheera spiders and the Beltian bodies. Collectively, the data show that Bagheera kiplingi obtains most of its diet directly or indirectly from the ant-acacia plants, especially in México.

parasitism or commensalism for egyptian animal. helphelp!!!!!!? I need a symbiotic relationship that is not mutualism for an egyptian animal or plant. so one of these animals: Scorpions Gazelles Desert Fox Hyena Wild Ass Jackal Wild Boar or one of these plants : Papyrus Plant Wheat Barely Lentils Chickpeas Cacti Date Palm Tree Blue Water Lilly Acacia Tree the more examples you give me the better!!

Could human's eat Beltian bodies? If we genetically engineered species of acacia to have huge beltian bodies could humans then eat them? can we eat them now? or would they be toxic? Seeing as they contain proteins and lipids (i assume normally plants don't have them so easily available) i was wondering if they could be used alongside vegetables to provide adequete nutrition. Or even just as an interesting dish to serve. And also, i just like the idea people getting protein from a plant that gives it away for free in such a weird way.

symbiotic relationship help?

Biology confusion! 10 points to the best answer!? 1. Which of the following is a structural plant defense? cactus spines milkweed latex poison ivy secretion 2. How are giraffes able to feed on an acacia tree despite the tree's long thorns? Giraffes have a long neck that they can maneuver between the thorns. Giraffes have a long, mobile tongue that can maneuver between the thorns. Giraffes produce saliva that dissolves the thorns. Giraffes don't eat acacia trees. 3. How does the active compound in poison ivy protect the plant from predators? It is a strong acid that burns the skin. It dissolves skin cells and causes pain. It starts an immune system response that causes a rash. It makes the skin more sensitive to oxygen. 4. How do acacia trees communicate with each other in response to insect attack? They release pollen. They drop their leaves. They produce thorns and spines. They produce a gas called ethylene

Is this brand of melatonin natural or synthetic? Okay, I have a questioned and I've been all over the net trying to find the answer to this. I had to switch from taking Natrol Melatonin 3mg (which is synthetic) to Spring Valley Melatonin 3g. I have read countless articles stating that natural melatonin supplements carry the risk of contamination of animal viruses due to it being from the pineal glands of animals. However, reading the ingredients from the bottle, it seems to list mostly plant ingredients:melatonin, calcium carbonate, cellulose gel, maltodextin, croscarmellose, sodium, acacia So does anyone know what this means? Has anyone ever taken Melatonin by Spring Valley?? Thanks so much!! ♥

Was Moses High on Mount Sinai, Moses was on psychedelic drugs? Moses was high on drugs: Israeli researcher" The world wide media interest in Benny Shanon's paper about Moses and entheogens, is encouraging us to take a good and hard look at the roots of religions and the notion that they were based on fertility cults, and shamanic practices such as Entheogens (or hallucinogenic) plants as a source of spiritual communion with the universal consciousness, or the mind of God. John Allegro, in his book "The Sacred Mushroom and the Cross: A Study of the Nature and Origins of Christianity within the Fertility Cults of the Ancient Near East", postulated through the etymology of words and relates how the development of language indicated that the roots of the religions emanating from the Middle East were based on fertility cults, and shamanic practices such as Entheogens (or hallucinogenic) plants as a source of spiritual communion with the universal consciousness, or the mind of God.. Back in the 1960's the reaction against these ideas was so strong that it destroyed Allegro's career, the book was not published in the UK as it was regarded as blasphemous, and blasphemy was still a crime. It's good to think that we have made some progress in recent years. Allegro's theory was visionary and ground-breaking. He was the first to propose in some detail that two major religions Christianity and by extension Judaism were entheogen-oriented and that the entheogen was Amanita Muscaria. His book was published at a time when there was little or no awareness about the use of entheogens, and was indeed a courageous act to publish this book. Another great explorer and pathfinder in human consciousness was Terence Mckenna, in his book "Food of the Gods: The Search for the Original Tree of Knowledge A Radical History of Plants, Drugs, and Human Evolution", proposed that hallucinogenic plants, in this case Psilocybin mushrooms, were at the astounding and unexplained evolution and development of the human brain in such a short time of the evolutionary time scale (just 500,000 years from the hominids), in other words how we developed from our ape relatives . His theory also encompasses the development of linguistics , human civilisation. JERUSALEM (AFP) - High on Mount Sinai, Moses was on psychedelic drugs when he heard God deliver the Ten Commandments, an Israeli researcher claimed in a study published this week. Such mind-altering substances formed an integral part of the religious rites of Israelites in biblical times, Benny Shanon, a professor of cognitive psychology at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem wrote in the Time and Mind journal of philosophy. "As far Moses on Mount Sinai is concerned, it was either a supernatural cosmic event, which I don't believe, or a legend, which I don't believe either, or finally, and this is very probable, an event that joined Moses and the people of Israel under the effect of narcotics," Shanon told Israeli public radio on Tuesday. Moses was probably also on drugs when he saw the "burning bush," suggested Shanon, who said he himself has dabbled with such substances. "The Bible says people see sounds, and that is a classic phenomenon," he said citing the example of religious ceremonies in the Amazon in which drugs are used that induce people to "see music." Israeli researcher He mentioned his own experience when he used ayahuasca, a powerful psychotropic plant, during a religious ceremony in Brazil's Amazon forest in 1991. "I experienced visions that had spiritual-religious connotations, " Shanon said. He said the psychedelic effects of ayahuasca were comparable to those produced by concoctions based on bark of the acacia tree, that is frequently mentioned in the Bible.

Was Moses inspired by entheogen, a psychoactive substance? A speculative hypothesis is presented according to which the ancient Israelite religion was associated with the use of entheogens (mind-altering plants used in sacramental contexts). The hypothesis is based on a new look at texts of the Old Testament pertaining to the life of Moses. The ideas entertained here were primarily based on the fact that in the arid areas of the Sinai peninsula and Southern Israel there grow two plants containing the same psychoactive molecules found in the plants from which the powerful Amazonian hallucinogenic brew Ayahuasca is prepared. The two plants are species of Acacia tree and the bush Peganum harmala. The hypothesis is corroborated by comparative experiential-phenomenological observations, linguistic considerations, exegesis of old Jewish texts and other ancient Mideastern traditions, anthropological lore, and ethnobotanical data.

Acacia Green Mist - how to split or propagate? I have a very large Acacia Green Mist (approx. 1.5m x 1m) in a garden bed and I need to remove it from the bed and hopefully re-use it elsewhere. So, can these be split or easily propagated? Any advice would be appreciated as I really don't want to lose this excellent healthy plant. http://www.liddlewonder.co.nz/schemedetail.php?plantid=654
