In the world, there are a variety of animals living in a variety of biomes. There are some who live in the Tropical Forests, like the Amazon Rainforest in Brazil, or there are some who live in the Temperate Forests, like Lawrenceville, Georgia. But why do certain animals live in one or the other? Well, it has to deal with the climate of the biome. To be more specific, an animal needs a certain amount of vegetation, water, space and shelter in the environment in order to live.
For an animal who lives in the tropics, like the jaguar, needs certain needs to make this place suitable for the organism. For instance, they need to be near a source of water to get water and to cool off in the humid surroundings. They also prefer low wet land areas
My team has discovered a new population of sloths in the Amazon Rainforest. The team has a job of figuring out three things regarding these sloths. The team has to determine if the new population is evolving, how it is related to other sloth populations near it, and if it is a different species than the other sloth populations.
Meaning that at latitudinal points closer to the poles there is less bio-diversification, and when approaching close to the equator and tropics the bio-diversification increases. The first theory on why this occurs is that in the tropics the species evolutionary clock ticks faster, increasing the chance of genetic mutations. Another theory is that in the area of the tropics the species there are more finicky because of the consistent temperature creating a low thermal tolerance creating insuperable barriers. Another theory is that the age of the tropics, rainforests, are old in comparison to the barren ice covered lands of the polar regions, creating an ideal place for life to
They live in Central America and South America because it is warm and moist there. They live in the rainforest and hang and eat their.
Because they have dispersed into many different habitats, they have developed adaptations to live in different types of places, such as
The Foster Care Independence Act of 1999 (FCIA) was enacted to provide provisions to children who were being aged out of the foster programs. It received dual-party support from both the House and Senate, and acquired support from R-Tom DeLay of Texas (Mcmillan, 1999). FCIA was put into law law by President Clinton in December of 1999. The main push of FCIA is to increase the requirements for Independent Living Programs by doubling the funding for these programs (Graf, 2002, p. 2).
Did you know that the rainforest is a fantastic biome? It has three parts that make it special. The forest is also home to more plant life than any other. It’s pretty big. Rainforests have a climate and appearance, producers, and consumers specific to the ecosystem.
Rainforest insect or invertebrate includes the scorpion, spiders beetles and more these are just some insects in the rainforest there are millions in the rainforest. The rainforest is being destroyed and theses insects like the animals are losing their homes. Insects are eating and being eaten they mostly get eaten because must have no defences to fight back.This is where the population is just all deaf traits because they die of being killed and from starving so it is decreasing because of other animals .I will be explaining how they are eating what are eaten by and how they survive in the wild rainforest. The rainforest still has wilder animals in the deep forest.
Habitat can be considered as the optimal location where any one species can live, reproduce, and grow in an ecological time scale (Kellner et al. 1992). As the climatic conditions of the world are changing at a rapid pace, it is important to understand how species will adapt with the weather and learn to adjust their way of living. Understanding how a species survives in different climatic regions is very important for the future management of the species population and habitat. With this knowledge an individual could more efficiently manage their habitat to make it more suitable for the species to live under the given climatic conditions.
The Interdependence of plants, animals, and humans is integral in the Amazon Rainforest ecosystem of the tropical rainforest biome. The key features of the Amazon Rainforest is the Amazon River. The Amazon Rainforest goes through Brazil, Peru, Colombia, and many other countries. Colombia has 10%, Brazil has 60%, and Peru has 13%. 80-90 degrees during the day and 50 degrees at night is the temperature of the Amazon Rainforest. There are dry and wet seasons. it gets 9 to 10 feet of rain a year. The terrain is in the Amazon Rainforest are rocky mountains, wetlands , plains, valleys, rivers, streams, and highlands. The dirt is poor with very few nutrients and it is very muddy. It is also dense with trees and rotting logs. The thin topsoils, made of decaying vegetable and animal parts, take up all the nutrients. In the Amazon Rainforest there 's the Congo River, the Rio Negro, and the Amazon River.
They like to live in dense shrub areas. They like grassy heath-lands near the coast, wet or dry forests and woodlands.
The Amazon rainforest, the most extensive of existing natural forests in the world, occupies an area of approximately 5.5 x 106 km2, and the Brazilian side covers 3.85 x 106 km2, representing 45% of the country. A major source of warming of the atmosphere, except for a narrow range over the oceans extending parallel to the equator are the equatorial portions of the continents, which mostly are still covered by natural forests, including the Amazon.
Abiotic elements of an environment are non-living things that impact the biological community and the life forms that live there. A portion of the Abiotic components of the Amazon Rainforest are things like water, mugginess, soil, temperature, and rocks.
The Amazon rainforest is the largest rainforest in the world, with about 5.5 million km2, of which 3.3 million are in Brazil, representing 45% of the country. The remaining 40% are divided between French Guiana, Suriname, Guyana, Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru and Bolivia. The Amazon region is also home to the largest river basin in the world, with an area of 7.3 million km2.
The Amazon River Basin is named as one of the 7 wonders of nature. It covers nearly 2,700,000 square miles. There are eight countries that fall within the border of the Amazon River Basin; they are Peru, Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, Bolivia, Suriname, and Guiana. The Amazon rainforest covers 2,100,000 of those miles. To give you a greater sense of the size, the rainforest is about the size of the United States. It is estimated to have 16,000 tree species and 30 percent of the world’s species found there, and over 90% of the animal species in the Amazon are insects. The Amazon rainforest is one of Earth's last refuges for jaguars, harpy eagles and pink dolphins, and home to thousands of birds and butterflies. Tree-dwelling species include southern two-toed sloths, pygmy marmosets, saddleback and emperor tamarins, and Goeldi's monkeys. (World Wildlife Fund. n.d.) We do know there are 40,000 plant species, and 3,000 freshwater fish species and more than 370 types of reptiles. But people live there too, it’s estimated that 20 million people live in the rainforest. (World Wildlife Fund. n.d.)
From the outside, Ecuador looks like a prosperous country. Its top exports include shrimp and oil, and it is the number one producer of bananas in the world. If you walked into a local market, you would be overcome with the variety of foods, colors, and smells. According to Britannica, Ecuador is also among the most diverse countries in the world, being one of nine countries to house the Amazonian Rainforest, as well as two deserts and four mountain ranges. While this country, 400 square miles smaller than the U.S. state of Nevada, seems to face little difficulty, it is the most food insecure and fifth most corrupt country in South America according to the Food Security Index and Transparency Intl. surveys in 2015. The problem lies buried six
