Zoology - July 2006

I have these grand daddy long legs that love to stand on my home( in corners of my garage, or outside by my doors and windows) . These guys are in the same spot for days. What are they good for? And what do they eat?

1. What gene determines size in big cats: tigers, jaguars, etc?
2. Does melanism affect any other characteristics or weaknesses within
the big cats?
3. Is it a gene that reinforces their predatory instinct and
aggression? If so, which gene?

Last night I saw a fly on my clean bathroom counter giving birth to maggots! My carpets were cleaned yesterday, there was no food left out and my house was just thoroughly cleaned. I have never heard of such a thing. Does anyone know why this would happen? I thought they only did that in degrading organic matter.

"Duplication of homeobox genes can produce new body segments, and such duplications are likely to have been important in the evolution of segmented animals. Interestingly, there is one insect family, the xyelid sawflies, in which both the antennae and mouthparts are remarkably leg-like in structure."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hox_genes

The above example and chromosome duplication can surely lead to added complexity in an evolving organism.

My wife says that eggs have pores that enable the embryo to breathe oxygen and when left in water for a period of time,the embryo would die due to lack of oxygen. I think that the embryo does not breathe oxygen. Please give an explanation to which one of us is right?

have a huge flying beetles with rust colored wings and a grey body, feather like antenas about 1 inch or 1.5 inch in length. Came out in the hot weather of 100 degrees, in southern Idaho RIGHT on the boise river, in a large wooded yard with ficus, maple, and apple trees. Already ruled out Spruce, and Pine beetles, as well as the mountain beelte, this is much too big to be one. I measured two of the beetles after killing them with Ortho home defense spray I was using for ants, one is 1 inch, another just over 1.5 inches. Help I need to know what to buy to protect my trees- if it's not too late.

I really like primates. Wether they're chimps, apes, orangutans, gorillas, etc. And I've gotten around to wondering: aren't apes and gorillas the same thing? I watched Tarzan and they are all gorillas. Then I watch Planet of the Apes (great movie) and the apes look exactly like the gorillas in Tarzan. Aren't they the same thing. If they are, sorry for sounding so stupid, but I have to know!
