Welcome to the 28th 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.
Geopolis is a project to promote and connect authors who write in the fields of global sciences. Upvotes are currently worth more than $1,50 so don't hesitate to get involved or become a member for higher rewards! You can read more about the project and how to join here:

Subjects curated by Geopolis are Geography, Anthropology, Ecology, Geology, Archeology and certain branches of History.
Ecology: A new study has found that the Venus flytrap (Dionaea muscipula) can opt not to eat its pollinators!
The Venus flytrap is probably one of the most know carnivorous plants. Such plants can use the nutrients of prey when the habitat they live in do not provide enough nutrients by itself. But how does plants like this prevent eating the same insects that pollinate them? A new study has found that the plant appears to have a trick for that. You can read all about it in 
The Venus flytrap is most likely the best known carnivorous plant in the entire world, and it is very common to have as a houseplant. In the wild, you will find this plant in subtropical wetlands in the U.S. states North Carolina and South Carolina. They are actually not that hard to find there if you know where to look, but you will not find them in the wild anywhere else in the world, so they have a very narrow geographical range. , but they do not give a good reason why it is classified as this. However, the habitat the live in is having the same problems as many other places, and they are also very sensitive to invasive plant species that are better suited at reproducing than the V...
Geography: Landforms of river deposition
Rivers are a very common geomorphological process in many landscapes and they cause a range features. 
Hello steemit friends, in my most recent post I explained on . Today I will be writing on the landforms which evolve as a result river deposition. There are four major landforms which result from fluvial deposition and found principally at the lower course of running water. These are alluvial fans, flood plain and associated features, estuary and delta. Alluvial fans Tributary flash floods or streams carve deep gullies on the sides hills suddenly losing velocity when they descend to the flat floor of the plain, they deposit their load of coarse materials, spreading them in gently sloping, fan-shaped features known as alluvial fans. The fan thins out towards the edges while the running...
Geology: The Chad basin
The world is an encyclopedia of geological histories, and each page is as interesting as the previous one. Here 
Hello guys. I'll be sharing briefly with you all the geology of the Chad basin.
It's referred to as the Borno basin by many Authors while describing the Nigerian part of the entire Chad region. Whiteman(1982) described the Borno basin as an I'll defined unit situated in the North East top of Nigeria and Eastern side of Kaduna basement massive,north of the Zambuk ridge of the Biu volcanic plateau. The Borno trough may have formed part of the entire Borno-Chad rift trough system which extends from the Air massives to lake Chad. This system nay be part of a failed arm of an aborted right system whose geometry and age cannot be defined.
Anthropology: Communication: Part 3 - Anthropological approaches to the study of Symbolism
The anthropological study of symbols has developed into a comprehensive field that includes (a number of) different approaches or trends. Collectively, these approaches are referred to as symbolic anthropology. Some well-known anthropologists who have contributed to the study of symbols are Geertz, Turner and Levi-Strauss. Although their approaches differ, they all investigate the meanings of symbols and symbols as a means of communication.
To introduce you to the symbolic anthropology, we will briefly discuss the approaches of Claude Levi-Strauss, Clifford Geertz and Victor Turner. In this post, I will show you how these different anthropologists have applied the seemingly simple concept of Symbolism to a complex system of thought.
