Title: Comparing fish protein Introduction: Darwin's Theory of Evolution is the commonly thought notion that all life is linked and has descended from a common ancestor. Darwin's general theory assumes the development of life from nonlife and stresses a purely naturalistic "descent with modification". That is, complex creatures evolve from more simplistic ancestors naturally over time. “Natural selection is a process in which individuals that have certain inherited traits tend to survive and reproduce

of the organisms’ body and the preservation of the compacted fossils we find today (Royal Ontario Museum, 2011). Major Fossils More than half of the Burgess Shale fauna “burrowed in or lived freely on the sea-floor and most of these were deposit feeders” (Cowen et al., 2006, pp. 58). The most

The purpose of this research paper is to make more people aware of ocean dead zones and how they can not only affect the marine oasis, but how the can affect us as humans also. Dead zones are a more common term for the word hypoxia, which means lower or reduced levels in the water. Dead zones are areas in oceans and lakes where the oxygen levels are low, too low for most organisms to survive in them. Dead zones are so because of a process called eutrophication. Eutrophication happens when a body

In the eye of the beholder: Do biological invasions impact ecosystems on a functional level? Biological invasions are generally considered an environmental threat, out competing native species and increasing community homogenisation. Importantly though, invasive species also alter ecosystems, yet little research has focused on whether invasions are a threat to their functioning or services. This encompasses two main debates: determining whether invasive species alter ecosystem functioning and, if

wildlife. The build ups of oyster bars, reefs, and beds provide habitat for many aquatic lifeforms and the filtration capabilities they possess is quite remarkable; as filter feeders, oysters feed on phytoplankton and small organisms while removing nutrients from the waters the inhabit, leaving them clear and pristine; just one oyster can filter more than 50 gallons in a day (“Oyster History”). Alas, it was a palatable constitution that made the eastern oyster so popular, creating an extensive economy based

Rocky Shore Ecosystems- Point Cartwright Nicolas Cuny 11B Mr. Nisbett Due Date: 03/09/2010 Introduction: On the 23rd of August, the three biology classes or grade 11 at Redlands College visited the rocky shore ecosystems at Point Cartwright in Queensland. Two different types of rocky shore ecosystem were examined, the rock pool area, and the boulder area. We first examined areas within the rock pool area. The rock pool area has several specific features

Assessment of Stream Health at Conley Run Through the Sampling of Benthic Macroinvertebrates C.J. Laurin, C.J. Hess, M.C. Taddeo Introduction Located near Cowan, Pennsylvania, Conley Run is a tributary of Buffalo Creek that has experienced severe degradation due to agricultural activity. Specifically, the deposition of large amounts of animal wastes, pesticides, and fertilizers has resulted in significant eutrophication throughout the stream. Furthermore, bank degradation associated with the movement

because these birds are almost always in the water and using their webbed feet for swimming and stirring up food from the bottom. Their beak is hooked shaped, and their lower bill is much thicker than the top. This allows for the flamingo to be filter feeders, looking for tiny shrimp. Heron: The heron’s feet have three long toes, two in the front and one behind to support their body when
