The Biology and Diversity of Extant Reptiles The word reptile itself does not describe a monophyletic group of vertebrates, like the mammals or birds. It is used to classify a polyphyletic group of animals that are a subset of the larger group of Amniotes. The term is best described through a cladogram: [IMAGE] The reptiles first appeared in the early Carboniferous, having evolved from labyrinthodont amphibians.

COLLECTED DATA The Danger of Cyber Attacks A cyber attack is an online malicious attack that disrupts, steals, and/or damages a system.

Mangroves cultural significance towards Brisbane are strongly linked to the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities of Australia. They have provided food, shelter, medicine and many other resources to the land owners for over 40,000 years. They are also important to Brisbane’s natural environment because they are immensely productive ecosystems in which they provide various resources

approach is supported by the constructivist approach that tells us that students learn through investigation. During the strategy, students can develop critical thinking skills, encourages thinking skills, and sparks engagement. According to Roza Lizard, “Hands-on activities let the students' minds grow and learn based on the experiences and the environment they are exposed to.” (Lizardi R., 2017, para. 2).

As a summer intern at the refuge, I will be a member of the biology team. As such, I will primarily be conducting invasive species surveys and helping with the removal of Burmese pythons, Nile monitor lizards, and Cuban tree frogs, as well as some plant species. I will also collect water samples to monitor the quality of the water. Though I will work mainly with the biology team, I will be educated on all aspects
