Describe the feeding biology of centipedes, spiders, mites and beetles. Compare and contrast these with the sexual biology of these same animals. How might differences in feeding relate to differences in mating behavior?
“Cuckoo bird lays eggs in the nest of crow” which type of interaction is shown in this relation?
Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle agreed that the only animals to possess rational souls are:
amphibians (cold-blooded oviparous quadrupeds without scales)
birds (warm-blooded oviparous vertebrates with feathers)
reptiles (cold-blooded oviparous quadrupeds with scales)
D. humans (warm-blooded viviparous vertebrates with hair)
fish (cold-blooded gill-breathing aquatic vertebrates)
