preferred a more fresh water environment. A question was then raised as to why some of the woodlouse still decided to travel to the 10% NaCl water? This experiment could have been more improved if the choice chamber contained the woodlouse’s natural habitat which would to be to insert grass and dirt into the choice chamber. This would have improved the experiment because it allows the woodlouse to recognize a familiar environment rather than just travelling to a piece of paper with different concentration

surface water area is the destruction of the habitat. Once a habitat is destroyed it is hard and expensive to recover, if it can ever be recovered. Sometimes destruction is irreversible. According to Myers & Kent, “Well over half of the human population lives within 100 km of the coasts” (Myers & Kent, 2015). Agricultural lands surrounding these areas, along with other pollution from the metro areas are leading to the destruction on numerous habitats. As this increase in these area of nitrogen

Even though some argue that zoos are actually beneficial for animals, zoos in reality produce a toxic and cruel impact on species. When animals are confined in spaces for entertainment purposes, they are more likely to develop mental illnesses and strange behaviors. For instance, the term “zoochosis” was coined by Bill Travers in 1992 after witnessing abnormal behaviors such as pacing, head banging, self mutilation, regurgitating, and many more actions that animals displayed in zoos that were not

imminent danger of extinction. The vaquita´s habitat is only a small part of the Gulf of California, where the citizens constantly use fishing nets, due that the Vaquitas are threatened and caught on the nets, which cause the species survival to decrease. Nowadays, Mexico has opted to implement laws to protect and preserve the critically endangered species such as the little cows. This laws include the ban of fhishing nets close to the vaquita`s habitat As

Introduction Armadillidium vulgare commonly known as pillbug is an isopod, a type of non-insect arthropod also known terrestrial crustacean. (Pillbug - Armadillidium Vulgare). The pillbugs roll into a pill form when threatened hence the name pillbug. Pillbugs are active during night but can be found during the day in the soil or under debris or between rocks. Pillbugs can reach a length of up to 18 mm when matured (Capinera, 2001). In this experiment, I investigated whether pillbugs are attracted

We are living in a colorful world. There are many different people live with different cultures. But, what makes so many differences in our world? According to the story of In the Jungle and my personal experiences, our lives are affected by living condition, natural resources and social environment around us. In the story of In the Jungle, Author Annie Dillard goes to the Napo River, which is the heart of the Ecuadorian Jungle and it is also the most unspoiled place. She describes the natural

water habitats 84% gone. With the mouse being just under 3 inches in length, nocturnal, loving its dense cover protection, and the close resemblance to the Western Harvest Mouse, it makes field identification very difficult. Further research is needed not only into the population numbers of SMHM, but its habitat as well. Capture-recapture will be used to assess the SMHM population, where it will be measured, weighed, a patch of hair taken for re-identification, and released back into its habitat. Subplots

natural habitat for our wildlife. Without a home, these animals are dying off at record numbers and becoming extinct. According to Morris (2003), Humans are also killing the animals for food and this choice also destroys the natural habitat. Many humans are making the choice to catch fish faster than the oceans can restock. When people choose to destroy these animal’s homes, it has a negative effect on the food chain. When one sees the impact of human interaction on the natural habitat, society

Artificial structures, such as the landfills and flood control gates aid in protection of property, but cause destruction of certain animal habitats. However, artificial structures in the Bay Area have an ecotonal relationship with nature. Building the floodgates sacrifice the habitat in place of the floodgate, but in the long term, protects more habitats. In “The Ecotone” by James Clifford, Clifford shows the university has a symbiotic relationship with nature. In “Man, the Dominant Animal” by
