Everyday Mysteries: Why most male birds are more colorful than females

https://newsela.com/read/loc-mysteries-male-birds-more-colorful/id/26088

This article states that males are more colorful because they have to get the females attention. Females are very busy incubating their eggs until they are hatched and when they hatch, they have to take care and raise their chicks. It is proven that women are attracted to more colors so if the males are more colorful it will be easier to find themselves a mate.

I thought male birds were more colorful due to their diet kind of like flamingos but I was suprised to learn it was just because they needed to attract females.

    This is very interesting and it is very understandable as to why females like more color. Who wouldn't enjoy something more colorful? Although, it does make me wonder how the males become more colorful.

Dual-fuel vehicles

A recent study shows that dual- fuel vehicles are benefiting the population but, turns out they are costing the environment. While substituting gasoline for ethanol gases, it causes an increase of ultra fine particle matter, with a 30% increase of atmospheric concentration. The problem is that they are less then 50 nanometers in diameter. The nano particles are also not track or regulated by the environmental agencies. We inhale these gases everyday, inhaling ethanol. The most practical way to reduce greenhouse gases is using electric, hybrid and biofuel care.   https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/08/170828124546.htm

Acid Zone in Chesapeake Bay Found

     According to the University of Delaware, the Chesapeake Bay is becoming acidic as it has gone to 7.4 pH from an average of 8.2. The oxidation of ammonia and hydrogen sulfide may be the factor that is leading to the higher acidity levels in coastal oceans, but it can eventually lead to more of open oceans. Naturally the waters of the Chesapeake Bay have a regulatory system that holds back the increase of acidity levels in the area, and this works as the dissolving of living shells, non-living aragonite, and calcite minerals. Though nature has a path to keep the waters in the Chesapeake Bay, humans should take more care of our Earth as we have a role in polluting the water and rising the acidity levels in coastal oceans. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/08/170828093737.htm
