Description:
Brewer’s blackbird is approximately 6 inches tall and 1.5 ft in length. It exhibits black, smooth, glossy plumage. The feathers of its head are slightly purplish in color whereas the rest of its body has slightly green undertones. Black feet, a straight black bill and bright yellow eyes can be observed. A long black tail is also present. Key characteristics of this deuterostome clade include radial indeterminate cleavage where the blastopore becomes the anus, a notochord, hollow dorsal nerve cord, pharyngeal slits and a post-anal tail. Such birds also exhibit endothermy, have an amniotic egg and limbs with digits.

Habitat:
This organism was found in an urban habitat, specifically in the grassy region of the Tampa Riverwalk. It is commonly found in North America near water.

Description:
The larva of the Definite tussock moth. Approximately 2 inches in length and cylindrical in shape, covered in fine white hairs. Pale yellow verrucae present on the long black body and two black antennae as well as long brown hairs sticking out at the rear end were observed. The head of the caterpillar is yellow along with the prothoracic plate and dorsal glands. No reproductive structures were present but key characteristics of this caterpillar’s protostome clade include segmentation, an exoskeleton made of chitin, a complete digestive tract and an open circulatory system. After undergoing metamorphosis, the adult moth will have wings, three pairs of walking legs and a segmented body with a head, thorax and abdomen.

Habitat:
This organism was found in an urban habitat, specifically on the bark of a tree of the USF campus at the entrance to the Crescent Hill Parking Garage. The tussock moth can be found in the entire East Coast of the United States. However, it is most common in the Northeast and Midatlantic states.

It also possesses three pairs of walking legs, an exoskeleton made of chitin, a complete digestive tract and an open circulatory system.

Habitat:
This organism was found in an urban habitat, specifically resting on a newspaper dispenser at the USF campus in the vicinity of the Science Center. The long-legged fly is found in all zoogeographic regions inclusive of the United States, however most of the species can be found in Central America and tropical South America.

Descripción

Description:
Foliose lichen, pale green in color comprised of rounded lobes 3-8mm wide at the ends of flattened fungal bodies. It has a rough surface that is more powdery at the center due to the presence of soredia which are the reproductive structures. They release strands of fungus and algal cells into the wind or water. Key characteristics of this protostome clade include multicellularity and absorptive heterotrophy since the organism is comprised of a mutualistic relationship between a fungus (Flavoparmelia caperata) and green algae.

Habitat:
This lichen was found in an urban habitat, specifically on the trunk of a live oak in MLK Plaza at the University of South Florida. The Common Greenshield lichen is widely distributed in North America from Nova Scotia to Mexico.

Descripción

Approximately 6-inch-tall erect weed with bright white flowers and broad, dark green, serrated leaves with branching veins. There are 5 ray florets on each flower which are about 1 inch in diameter and also exhibit radial symmetry. Additionally, bright yellow anthers in a central stamen cluster can be observed which serve to attract pollinators. The flower is the reproductive structure, housing the female gametophyte in the ovary and the male gametophyte in the pollen grains of the anther. It is therefore monoecious. The pale green stigma is visible in the carpal region while the stamen consisting of the yellow anther and brown filament can also be seen. The plant exhibits key characteristics of the seed plant taxonomic group. It is an angiosperm with a dominant diploid sporophyte generation. Moreover, the plant possesses adaptations for wind borne, insect and animal pollination along with vascular tissues (xylem and phloem) in the form of veins in leaves, green hairy stems and roots.

Habitat:
This flower was found in an urban habitat, specifically Simmons Park on the University of South Florida Campus near a pond. It is native to tropical America inclusive of Florida but can also be found in Latin America and Eastern Africa.

Descripción

Approximately four-inch-long epiphytic fronds with attached two-inch stems, evergreen leaves and a glossy waxy cuticle. Curved, oblong blades with an alternate arrangement along the stem. Exhibits key characteristics of the phylum monilophyta taxonomic group: true leaves, stems and roots as well as vascular tissue. Dominant sporophyte generation and clusters of brown sporangia (sori) containing spores present on the underside of the leaves. Slender grey rhizomes also present under the foliage which anchor the fern to the trunk of the palm tree.

Habitat:
It was found in an urban habitat, specifically on the trunk of a palm tree on the University of South Florida Campus. This species is native to the South Eastern United States including Florida as well as Central and South America.

Descripción

Plush, pale green carpet of approximately 5mm long leaf-like structures arranged in rosettes with sporophytes at the center. Yellow seta visible with a brown sporophyte capsule at the tip, cumulatively approximately 1cm in height. Reproductive structures present in the form of gametophyte generation evident in leaf-like structures of plant bodies. Sporophyte generation also visible in the brown sporophyte capsule at the tip of each stalk. Exhibits key characteristics of the seedless non-vascular (bryophyte) taxonomic group: no vascular tissue and no true roots, stems or leaves.

Habitat:
It was found in an urban habitat, specifically on the trunk of a palm tree on the University of South Florida Campus. The known geographic distribution of this moss includes the tropics, Florida, New Orleans, Louisiana and Texas.
