Poison dart frogs

reproduce. If they survive long enough, they can continue to grow until reaching a size that may exceed 2.4 meters. (a-z-animals.com; animal diversity.ummz.umich.edu) Glass frogs have a translucent underbelly exposing the liver, heart, and intestines. Scientists believe that this is some sort of camouflage. Glass frogs have excellent eyesight which allows them to easily detect when prey is near. They are carnivorous-eating insects and spiders. Their main predators are snakes,

individuals being introduced over a long period of time, the better chance it has of becoming established (Hoddle, 2014). For example, if there were ten introductions of 100 yellow-banded poison dart frogs (Dendrobates leucomelas), it is more likely that they will establish themselves versus one large introduction of 1000 frogs. More frequent and smaller introductions mean that they have a higher chance of arriving when their optimal environmental conditions can be met. Minimum viable population size. In

So, Muncie, Rochester, Holley and Budgie, beautiful names! I like Rochester and Holley but all of them are very lovely, and how did you do to chose the names of your cats? Was each name chosen between you both? or you chose the names for some of them and your wife chose names for the rest', in my home the second option always won, haha!!! You and your wife should feel happy for having helped to all those poor animals -some of them were lucky they were adopted by you both- I suppose the world needs

Question 1 Light is described to be both as waves and photons. Photons are a mass of electric and magnetic fields all bundled together to make electromagnetic energy. It’s the basic unit that makes up all light. This electromagnetic energy is what oscillate sin waves and are right angles to one another. The nature of light also interacts with matter by absorption, reflection, transmission, and emission. How light interacts with matter in the state of absorption is that the photons deposits energy

Calvin Al-Ashkar Mrs. Beary Envormental Sciences 11/10/17 The Amazon Rainforest Covering more than forty percent of South America is the Amazon Rainforest. It’s known for being the largest rainforest on the planet. Most of the jungle lies in Brazil. The Amazon Rainforest also holds the Amazon River. According to the National Science Foundation, the amazon river is the longest river in the world by volume and contains twenty percent of the Earths’ freshwater. But the Nile River is the longest

and attractive arriving in a myriad of colors including the aforementioned gold, yellow, red, copper, green, black or blue which they utilize in a tactic to ward off predators called aposematic coloration. As its name implies, the skin of the glass frog is translucent though it is mostly lime green. You can actually see its abdomen, heart, liver, and various other organs if you care to look, as if you have been granted X-Ray vision! These queer creatures themselves couldn't care less about their young

Imagine yourself heading to the grocery store to buy groceries. You head inside the small store and look around for the milk in the coolers. Except there isn’t any milk on those shelves. You continue to look around for meat, eggs, and cheese. All gone. Of course, for now, this is just a simulation but it could turn into a harsh reality faster than you think. For the past 200 years, human behavior threatens to push our planet into the sixth mass extinction of life through rapid deforestation, pollution

The Amazon rainforest is the biggest tropical rainforest in the world. Ddo you know what the Native Amazonians want? They wanted to continue their traditional way of life. The Native Amazonians came to the rainforest in 1960. Also, -did you know that the rainforests cover about 6 percent of the Eearth’s surface. A thousand years ago rainforests covered 12 percent of Eearth’s surface. Loggers,Rubber trappers,Settlers and Cattle Ranchers came to the Amazon rainforest in the 1960s. Men in

Survival of organisms depends on adaptive behavior and species interactions. Taxis is less or more automatic movement towards or away from a stimulus or direct movement. An example of taxis is when a plant is put by a windowsill. The plant grows towards the light. Another example is when stream fish automatically swim upward in the upstream direction. This example is considered positive taxis. This type of taxis allows the fish to swim in the direction of food and allows them to not be swept away

When I first came across Annihilation by Jeff VanderMeer, it was a book that I found hard to ignore. Its neon green spine strikingly contrasted against the varying darker shades of blue and black that belonged to other books along the science fiction shelf. Annihilation is only about half of an inch thick so it took up less space among the thicker novels, but it still stands out and demands attention. The brief summary on the back tells the story of an expedition of women journeying into a pristine
