Lepus

The snowshoe hare is an animal that seems to have a high predation rate and has struggled at times to avoid predators and different types of climate. According to Dashiell Feierabend, Knut Kielland, (2015) the survival and predation of these snowshoe hares was researched for quite some time, yet no true leads have been discovered such as hare’s vulnerability, which leaves the question of what predators and climates can influence their vegetation and coverage. (Feierabend & Kielland, 2015). These

I have chosen Lepus (The hare), for my constellation because it is one of the lesser known constellations, and I have taken a liking to doing things most people don't do. Lepus belongs to the Orion family (of constellations), along with Canis Major, Canis Minor, Orion, and Monoceros. Lepus, in size, is the 51st constellation, occupying an area of 290 square degrees. It is located in NQ2 (the second quadrant of the northern hemisphere) It is closest to the constellations Canis Major, Monoceros, Caelum

Perhaps my favorite constellation is Lepus, ‘the Hare’. I like the association of Lepus, the hare, with the lunar mythology of China, especially the relationship with the moon rabbit. There is also something haunting about the eternal hunt, the chase that is etched upon the stars of Lepus, the hunter Orion, and his dogs in Greek mythology. Lepus does not represent any major figure in Greek Mythology but it was one of the 48 constellations listed by the ancient astronomer Ptolemy. Today it remains

In this study case, I will try to analyze the advantages and disadvantages of each offers and try to determine which offer might be the best for her personal

“Discuss the origin and significance of diversity within and between species using examples from a named Eukaryote taxonomic group of your choice.” Introduction Diversity within and between species depends on various evolutionary processes and can be traced to some sort of genetically altering event, whether it be a mutation, physical isolation, inbreeding depression etc. This essay seeks to analyze the origins and significance of diversity within the taxonomic group of lagomorpha, analyzing the

Diversity within and between species depends on evolution and evolutionary processes. This essay seeks to analyze the origins and significance of diversity within the taxonomic group of Lagormorpha, both within species and between species. Origin of diversity within species Inbreeding depression occurs when species inbreed to a point where the overall fitness of the species decreases significantly. Slate and Pemberton studied how reduced heterozygosity affected the sperm and gonads of wild rabbits

Biology Question 1: A Choose one animal from the list of carnivorous animals and one from the list of herbivorous animals. Compare the structural differences between the two digestive systems. Comparison of a rabbit and cat’s digestive system. Rabbit (Lepus curpaeums): Unlike a cat, a rabbit eats a wide variety of plant material. They can process and extract nutrients from many plants that are otherwise indigestible from other herbivores and omnivores. A rabbit’s digestive process, as with that of a

that eats carrion. The foxes and the wolves are the main predators of the island. The wolves have been known to kill the foxes for eating the dead moose. Another mammal that affects the wolf-moose relationship is the snowshoe hare, also known as the Lepus americanus. The snowshoe hare is another one of the wolves' prey, and constitutes for, during winter, over 50% of the wolves diet, depending on several factors. The other prey of the wolves is the Canadian Beaver, or the Castor canadensis. These animals

Climate and Location Tundras are one of the harshest and coldest biomes here on earth. The climate of tundras are cold with heavy, constant winds and low rainfall. Tundras are treeless regions that are cold throughout most of the year. During the winter, the sun hardly shines. In the summer, the sun shines almost 24 hours a day and last around 6 to 10 weeks. Temperatures during the summer do not rise above 50 degrees Fahrenheit. Tundras are located in Alaska, Northern Canada, Russia, and Northern
