<p>Science quote of the day:<br /><strong>"But still try for who knows what is possible!"</strong> ~ Michael Faraday</p>
<p>Welcome to the 116th Daily Field Note! Here you find the top post of the day, one covering each scientific field that is included by Geopolis. Since these authors put a lot of effort in writing a good post they surely deserve the extra exposure.</p>
<p>Geopolis is a project to promote and connect authors who write in the fields of global sciences. You can read more about the project and how to join here:</p>

<p>Hello friends</p>
<div class="text-justify">When the last specimen of a species dies, its extinction is said to have occurred. This fact is a natural phenomenon that occurs when a species can not survive in certain environmental conditions or when it is in constant competition with another stronger species. Normally, the extinction of a species supposes the emergence of another one better prepared and better adapted to the ecosystem.</div>
<br />
<div class="text-justify">However, the direct or indirect intervention of humans in the fauna and flora has also made this process increase for many years.</div>

<p>Plague. Black Death. The Peste. Words powerful enough to close a city, seal a house, and spread panic through the countryside. These may be scenes evoked from the history of plague, but plague is by no means consigned to history. It is very much with us today. Health authorities around the world are vigilant in surveillance of outbreaks, because plague as a natural phenomenon, and as a potential instrument of terrorism, is a major concern. This is especially true as antibiotic-resistant strains have appeared in Madagascar. The island nation has experienced outbreaks of pneumonic plague--a particularly virulent form of the disease. Also, despite a concerted effort, no dependable vaccine has been developed...</p>
