Answer the questions that follow:

1. What details from the article explain the Asian giant hornet’s moniker “murder hornet”?

2. Why were beekeepers seemingly among the first people in the United States to see the Asian giant hornet?

3. Why do scientists believe the Asian giant hornets found in Washington and British Columbia were not part of the same colony? How did tests confirm this theory?

4. Who is Chris Looney? Why does he feel there is a small window of time in which the hornets must be stopped? How does he hope to trap the hornets?

5. What challenges do Dr. Looney and others working toward the same goal face? How might technology play a role in stopping the hornets?

2) Read the article found here: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/27/learning/lesson-of-the-day-new-york-and-boston-pigeons-dont-mix.html

Answer the questions that follow:

1. The biologist Elizabeth Carlen and a co-author published a paper that presents the idea of a “distinct pigeon supercity” and identifies two such places. Where are they?

2. Why are there two pigeon supercities between Boston and Washington, D.C., and not one big one? What evidence suggests that they are separate entities?

3. How did the new study challenge previous studies’ findings about pigeons? What, according to Ms. Carlen, could explain why the pigeons in certain East Coast cities are genetically similar?

4. What is different about the Washington-Baltimore-Philadelphia-New York area as compared to New York-Boston? How might this explain why the pigeons in Providence and Boston are different from those in the other cities?

5. Joshua Sokol, the article’s writer, includes cultural references to cities named in the article, along with some rivalries between them. Reread the article and identify them. What do these references add to the reader’s experience? How do they affect the writer’s tone?
