page 18). Here many evolutionary biologists of the 20th and 21st century performed research on the insular organisms inhabiting these island habitats. One group of lizards in particular known by the common name chuckwallas has gained a lot of focus in evolutionary research. Chuckwallas is the name of organisms in the Sauromalus genus apart of the Iguanidae family. They are herbivorous lizards commonly found in the deserts of southwestern United States and Northern Mexico. Three species, in particular

The Chuckwalla: When this lizard senses danger it will go inbetween a rock and inflate itself. Chuckwallas are commonly found in a rocky area. This is an adaptation because Chuckwallas live where there is lots of rocks and do this for survival.. Chuckwallas live in the southwestern desert. Different types of chuckwallas have different adaptations. For example, the Spiny Chuckwalla has a spiny tail. Usually Chuckwallas tails are flat. Bearded Dragon: When bearded

The Grand Canyon is a like a big hole in the ground. The Grand Canyon is said to be 6,000 feet deep, 277 miles long, and 18 miles wide. The Grand Canyon is located in Flagstaff, Arizona. The South Rim is the most visited side of the Grand Canyon. Most people observe the Grand Canyon as one of the seven wonders of the word. The Grand Canyon was formed by the erosion of the Colorado River. The Colorado River runs through the canyon. Geologists are interested about the detectable sites of different

collapsing in July of 2015. After 2014 inspections were made and no flaws were detected so it was left unchanged. In 1967, the construction crew had the task of spanning the Tex Wash to connect the freeway between California and Arizona along the Chuckwalla Mountains. They decided the best, and most cost effective, way of doing this is by channeling a dry riverbed and narrowing it where the bridge was to stand. The columns of the bridge were to stand on their foundations which was sitting on the soil

You could live your whole life in the USA , but you would still have a lifetime left of things you had not seen yet there. Its famous for the people who have lived there, such as George Washington, our first president, its splendid cities, such as Washington DC, and its world famous national parks such as the Grand Canyon. America is an amazing country in part because of its people and places. One of the country’s most famous leaders is George Washington. This important man was the first child of

The museum that I decided to visit was the California African American museum, located in the Exposition park by the Coliseum and USC school. I knew that by visiting this museum, I would learn more about African American culture and lifestyle, which I thought it would be interesting to learn about another culture. What, I expected to see there was African American’s art creation, music, maybe see a few things about their old lifestyle, and the difficulty they once had to face. To be honest, I don't

1 11 Yiyin Wang Unit Plan April 27, 2016 Part 1: Overall Concept-Based Unit Plan Description Grade Level: Kindergarten level Unit Title: Animals of the Desert. This two-week unit will focus on introducing children about desert animals to enable them to distinguish between wild animals and desert creatures. It is a hands-on approach to teaching where aridity life is described through education, drawing shapes of the animals and making cuttings of the shapes. Appropriateness of the Unit in Development

Population-level studies have helped to explain the constraints that natural selection has on conspicuous coloration. For example, populations of chuckwallas (Sauromalus obesus) that suffered greater rates of predation were more drably colored than those who did not (Kwiatkowski 2003). Even though there is an abundance of evidence that sexual selection and species recognition favor conspicuous coloration
