Millions of different species of life exist today on the planet Earth. Throughout all of the kingdoms of life, each individual organism has a few important qualities needed to do simple functions for living. For example, every species has a way of obtaining oxygen and energy, reproducing, removing waste, moving oxygen through the body, and supporting it’s structure. These few processes are done by every living thing. Even species as diverse as elephants, wasps and sundew plants all have the ability…

The roots of our peculiar curiosity can be linked to a trait of the human species call neoteny. This is a term from evolutionary theory that means the "retention of juvenile characteristics". It means that as a species we are more child-like than other mammals. Being relatively hairless is one physical example. A large brain relative to body size is another. Our lifelong curiosity and playfulness is a behavioral characteristic of neoteny. Neoteny is a short cut taken by evolution – a route that brings…

“The appearance of Homo sapiens and the disappearance of various species of large mammals” –these words, I believe, demonstrate the theme of Paul S. Martin’s famed hypothesis. Martin’s theory, also known as the Overkill hypothesis, considers that humans were the sole contributors to the Late Quaternary extinction of megafauna that happened in the last 50,000 years in various continents, mainly in the Americas and Australia. According to Martin, as humans started colonizing new areas of the world…

How White-tailed Deer Effect Native and Invasive Plant Species Populations in the Eastern United States. Introduction Whitetail deer have come to be known as a keystone species, species known for affecting other organisms in an ecosystem. Deer are known as a keystone species in forest habitats such as in the Eastern United States because they are capable of destroying potential forest habitat of other organisms (McShea and Rappole, 1992). For example, deer have a negative impact on forest ecosystems…

The role that we each play within our ecosystem is different for all species. Every living thing has a habitat and a niche, where they reside and what their job is in contributing to their habitat. The purpose of this paper will be to discuss two different roles within our ecosystem and how the characteristics of the species within those environments are similar and how they are different. I will be comparing my own personal niche as an administrative assistant, mother, and family member, my…
