Annotated Bibliography On Mammalian Species

The aim of our excursion to Hastings Point, New South Wales was to study the biodiversity and ecology and to see how these organisms behave in their natural habitat and surroundings. There will also be information collected about a variety of different organisms as well as population counts and observe how they have adapted to the species surrounding environment. The excursion will also be an opportunity to gather information on

Species: P. tigris, the organism who lives in a forest and is covered wiht blackstrip fur.

The nine specimens were placed into a watch-glass container and checked to ensure that they were of relatively equal sizes to one another. The pipette was then utilized to collect one Daphnia magna and placed onto a depression slide to create a wet mount. It is noted that a coverslip was not to be placed on the top of the slide.

Elrathia kingi is one of the most common species of trilobite in North America. Their fossils are often flat due to being crushed over the millennia in shale.

When choosing a level of identification, taxonomic sufficiency is an important concept to consider. Benthos must be identified to a level that will reliably asses biological condition and recognize ecological patterns. Finding the balance between getting an accurate representation of a biological community and the accuracy of identifications involves consideration of time and financial constraints as well as the expertise required.

When you hear about an animal that stands up to six and a half feet tall and weigh 2,200 pounds; with horns, two feet long curving up for fighting and able to run 40 miles per hour. You automatically think a beast or monster, which you’re not that far off. Being the largest land animal in North America, bison have often been called beasts and as an above, they deserve that title.

“South Carolina is too small for a republic and too large for an insane asylum,” James Lewis Petigru is a perfect quote to describe “The Half-Mammals of Dixie” by George Singleton. We will explore how much the characters in the story would make per year, try to determine their cost of living and look at how the depressed southern economy plays a role on the rone of these stories. Economics and a time of depression had to play a big part in why Singleton chose to write these stories the way he did so by going over the short stories Fossils and Bank of America we will get a better understanding of how big the economic impact really was.

2: Genus and Species name of animal: The Genus is the Painted Lady. The species name is Vanessa tameamea.

Australia is full of many interesting animals of all kinds. Each are unique in their own way. Some of these animals are native to the land, and some were introduced. Whether native or introduced, they each have their own adaptation. The native animals had to adapt to the new introduced animals, the native animals have their adaptations to make their lives just a little bit easier as well.

The Loris’s are typically founded in tropical Africa and Asia, which include the various species of Galago, or bushbaby, they are founded in Africa and now consider their own family, the Galagonidae (Stanford ). Additionally, includes the slender and slow Loris of Asia and the potto angwantibo of tropical Africa (Stanford). The Loris’s are slow moving, deliberate stalkers, capture small prey and resemble the primitive ancestor of modern haplorrhines (Standford).

For access more information about the evolution of the group and possibly to classify the specimen in a taxonomic low level, phylogenetic analyses is being

Often referred to as the Asian Unicorn, the Saola is a bovine that dwells in the dense forests of Eastern Indochina. They have only been seen in their natural habitat a handful of times and only a few photographs exist of them today, hence earning them nickname title. They have an antelope-like appearance, but are biologically more similar to cattle. Both males and females have two long, parallel horns that have been measured to reach up to nearly 20 inches. Their silky fur can be seen ranging in a variety of colors: the primary one being a dark chestnut color, while their markings and streaks are often black or a creamy white. The discovery of this creature only stems back two decades ago to May 1992, which has not left much time for observation.

Did you know that tasmanian devils yawn just before they attack, that kangaroos have to hop everywhere because their legs can't move separately, and that a goldfish is only gold if it stays in the sunlight? These are just a few of the, 'weird-but-true' facts that you will learn by reading Lauren Coss' fascinating book, Weird-But-True Facts About Animals. You will amaze your all your friends by being the foremost expert on

Subclass Stichotrichia (Small & Lynn, 1985) Size, small to large; shape, often elongate, sometimes very drawn out posteriorly, in cross section round to dorsoventrally compressed; freeswimming with a few loricate forms; perilemma in some groups; pellicular alveoli weakly developed; somatic ventral ciliature as ventral cirri ranging from small and quite inconspicuous, occasionally as few as 2–3 cilia per cirrus, arranged in longitudinal, sometimes spiraled, files to a few, larger cirri in scattered groups, with in the latter case marginal files of cirri differentiated ; transverse cirri, may or may not be present; caudal cirri, may or may not be present; dorsal somatic ciliature as one to many kineties – typically three – of dikinetids without
