Hibernation

Brooke Lenting English 9, 5th hour 3-3-2017 Miss B. Prins White-Nose Syndrome: Killing Nature’s Pest Control Sarah is studying to be a biologist in Albany, New York. During her first semester, she goes on a field trip to the local caverns. There her class watches hibernating bats. While they are visiting these caverns, they learn that this is the sight where a disease called White-Nose Syndrome (WNS) was first documented. White-Nose Syndrome, a disease in bats, affects species in Eastern North America

Further, a hibernating primate, the lemuriform Cheirogaleus medius(Fat-tailed dwarf lemur) in specific, will be examined because hibernation has a direct correlation with hypothermia and reduced metabolic-rate. This primate was used because it is known to experience lengthy periods of hibernation and lives in a temperate climate of Madagascar. It is hypothesized that hibernation has not only a direct relationship with these two factors, but specifically that metabolic rate will dramatically decrease and

provide a report that discusses the feasibility of the hibernation pod used in the science fiction film Passengers. I will also create a poster and presentation based on the topic I have chosen. This report will fulfill the requirements for ENGI 2304, Technical Communications. 1.2 Background ENGI 2304 requires a report that analyzes the feasibility of the science used in any science fiction film. I will focus on the potentiality of hibernation pods in real life, mainly on how it could be made.

Can we live forever? In the video I watched narrated by Neil Tyson, an astrophysicist, he explained the many possible ways that we could. In this interesting video a man has been able to put two point seven million miles on his car. When I heard that I didn’t believe it and I was confused at how that had anything to do with living a longer life or just living forever. The man who drove the car explained that if something is wrong fix it. It is just that simple. When I thought about this further the

This situation with this family is sad because I think the family was unaware of the unventilated gas heater. They could have checked items in the home before hibernation in order to prevent things like this from happening to them while they were sleeping. Carbon Monoxide is

these traditional ways. Therefore the feelings to want to become nomadic are clashing with the feelings of following tradition’s ways. “Brumal” means wintry. O’Hara is using this as a metaphor with the direct meaning being waking up from winter hibernation, but the deeper meaning is the realization or awakening of the need to break away from traditional ways. “Ferine” means wild and “strain” in this case means type. When O’Hara uses ferine as an adjective to describe strain, he is referring to the

Introduction Aestivation is derived from Latin: aestas, summer, but also spelled aestivation in American English is a state of animal dormancy, similar to hibernation, characterized by inactivity and a lowered metabolic rate that is entered in response to high temperatures and arid conditions. It takes place during times of heat and dryness, the hot dry season, which are often the summer months. [1] Mechanism of Aestivation Invertebrate and vertebrate animals are known to enter this state to avoid

1. Hibernation happens in winter and estivation in summer. 2. An organism that lives in or on another organism. 3. Structural you can see, behavioral is what they do 4. herb-eats mainly plants carn—eats mainly animals omni—eats both plant and animal 5. Roots in and out of water. Leaves might need to excrete salt or waste. Won’t rot or mold. 6. natural selection causes evolution to happen over time. 7. natural selection is NATURE at work and survival of the fittest is the RESULT of

spending the fall months preparing for winter hibernation. The animal control experts at American Bio-Tech can help you make sure these creatures don’t take shelter in your house. This wildlife control company has served greater Litchfield, Fairfield, and New Haven Counties since 1971; their mission from the very beginning has been to use humane methods of home animal removal to help protect their clients’ homes as well as the area’s native species. Hibernation helps mammals survive the winter months

adaptive reason from Psychology are the following: like bears in hibernation, we sleep to save and replenish resources; we sleep in safe places to reduce risk from predators in the night; finally, we may sleep to increase cognitive function. (Psychology, 2014) However, humans are not the only species adaptions seem to evolve for adaptive reasons. Classifications Sleep is a predictive adaption; which mean it occurred in anticipation
