Thirty years later and now a . Geological Survey research geologist, Thieler, is bining science and smartphone technology to help study an endangered bird, the Atlantic Coast piping plover. The piping plover is a shorebird that breeds（繁殖）along the Atlantic Coast, the Great Lakesand the Great Plains. Rising sea levels associated with climate change, as well as increased development in their beach habitats（棲息地）, threaten the species（物種）. To help track changes in piping plover habitats, Thieler developed a free app called iPlover in 2012. This is a marked change from the typical way scientists collect data, which involves gathering information using specialized equipment or writing in notebooks and then putting into spreadsheets. Since releasing iPlover, scientists have gathered data across 1500 km of breeding range. Thatequals about a third of the distance across the ., which is a large area to cover for only two thousand breeding pairs of piping plovers on the east coast. Instead of having to travel and spend days at each site, a number of cooperators in the field use the app to collect and send data, allowing scientists to gather data more efficiently. It also allows them to collect data at the same time during each breeding season, providing a better picture of changes that happen over longer periods of time. And fast, centralized access means scientists can look at data quickly to get a realtime idea of where and how piping plovers are using their habitats. While iPlover is used by trained field staff, other apps like the U. S. Geological Survey39。swebbased “iCoast—Did the Coast Change?” invite citizen scientists to identify coastal changes by paring bird39。seyeview photographs taken before and after storms. All the information scientists and citizen scientists alike collect helps federal and state agencies create policyplans for addressing climate change impacts (影響) worldwide. （1）What can we know about the piping plover?

They do not have opposable thumbs(對生拇指). The brownheaded spider monkey has a prehensile(纏繞性的)tail, which means it can grasp and can be used like a fifth leg to grab trees. During the day, the spider monkey searches for fruits, which make up the main part of its diet. They will also eat flowers, seeds, leaves, and small insects during the dry season when fruits aren39。t available. They spend most of the daylight hours climbing and swinging through the high branches of trees. The brownheaded spider monkey lives in a large munity of about 20 to 100 male and female monkeys. They split into smaller groups for feeding. Females usually give birth to only a single baby each year or two. Young monkeys are carried on their mothers39。 stomachs until about 16 weeks old. Then they are strong enough to ride on their mothers39。 backs. All brownheaded spider monkey babies are born with a pink face and ears. Spider monkeys hug each other and wrap their tails around each other. They are very intelligent and have strong memories. They were named spider monkeys because they look like spiders as they hang upside down from their tails with arms and legs swinging. Their genus (屬)name is Ateles, which means “imperfect”. This refers to the fact that they don39。t have thumbs. Hunting the brownheaded spider monkey
