What is a european starlings ecological role
makkiz [27]
European Starlings have a significant impact on their environment because they congregate in such large numbers.  They probably play a role in seed dispersal because of their consumption of a wide variety of fruits.  European Starlings also control some insect populations, but since they will eat almost anything they cannot be relied upon to eat only pests.  Insects they are known to feed on include the larvae of craneflies (Tipulidae) and moths (Lepidoptera) as well as mayflies (Ephemeroptera), dragonflies and damsel flies (Odonata), grasshoppers (Orthoptera), earwigs (Dermaptera), lacewings (Neuroptera), caddis flies (Trichoptera), flies (Diptera), sawflies, ants, bees and wasps (Hymenoptera) and beetles (Coleoptera).  They will also eat small vertebrates such as lizards and frogs, as well as snails (Gastropoda) and earthworms (Annelida).  European Starlings have a particular technique of inserting their closed bill into the ground or an object and then prying the bill open, creating a small hole.  This allows them to forage efficiently in soil and among roots as well as in feed troughs and on the backs of ungulates where they search for ectoparisites.

A client with colitis inquires as to whether surgery eventually will be necessary. when teaching about the disease and its treat
AlladinOne [14]
The correct answer is that "for most clients, surgery is recommended only if non-surgical treatments have been unsuccessful." This is because of the guidelines involving medicine and surgery as well as guidelines involving the treatment of colitis. The question should have specified what type of colitis is the patient having, whether infectious or autoimmune. In infectious colitis, then surgery almost has no role and medical treatment with antibiotics as well as supportive therapy and fluid replacement are the only ones needed. In autoimmune colitis such as Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis, while immunosuppressor drugs may have a role, surgery may be the mainstay of treatment especially those who are at risk of malignant degeneration.
