Threatened species

Introduction. In society we have lived most of our lives assuming that monkeys are all the same, there are no distinguishing factors about them at all except that they climb trees and eat bananas. However researching about the Capuchin monkeys has taught me many things that make them so unique from all the other types of monkeys. They are a part of the New World monkeys and have unique traits about them as well. They are considered to be the most intelligent, and are known to have the capability

1. The primary objective in “Moth tail divert bat attack: Evolution of acoustic deflection” is to test whether the spinning hindwing tails changes the target of the echolocation on a bat’s attack. This paper aims to observe the bat attacks on the moth tail, instead of attacking the moth’s wing or other body parts. 2. Primary findings: • Bats captured less moths with the tails than ones with without the tails. • A moth without a tail is more likely to be captured by the bat. • The predator

When society thinks about starfish, perch, chordate, and fetal pig they become extremely curious about how their bodies operate because of how they are made up. I will give a brief synopsis of all animals before going into major detail about them. According to the online website named dictionary.com, Starfish are any echinoderm of the class Asteroidea, having the body radially arranged, usually in the form of a star, with five or more rays or arms radiating from a central disk; asteroid (dictionary

Species: A group of similar organism that can mate with each other and produce offspring that can also mate and reproduce. Adaption: The inherited behavior or physical characteristic that help an organism survive and reproduce on its own. Evolution: Change over time; the process by which modern organisms have descended from ancient organism. Natural selection:The process by which organisms that are best adapted to their environment are more likely to survive and reproduce. Variation: Any difference

carnivorous species that travel in groups of ten, but some may be more that forty. They live in packs of six to twenty, the dog’s habitats are usually in dense forests to open plains, where there are mostly sand, and very few plants. The gestation is about 2.5 months old. They are native to the sub-saharan desert where their preys live. Like most predators, the dogs eliminate the ill and weak animals in the ecosystem, maintaining a balance in the environment and improving the prey species. During the

Lab 3 – Biodiversity Demonstration 1: Interdependence of Species Table 1: Interdependence of Species Results Round Species Missing (Bead Color and Name) 1 Yellow- Bees 2 Blue- Humans 3 Red-Flowers 4 White-Lichen a. Round 1 = The missing species in this ecosystem is bees. If the trees and plants couldn’t be pollinated then there would be no bees and human aren’t able to enjoy fruit because the pollination is not there. b. Round 2 = Part of the problem missing in the ecosystem is humans and if we

dy of plant fossils and the understanding the evolution of plant life and ecology of earlier eras is known as paleobotany. Paleobotanists concern with fossil records of plants and their geologic history greatly describes the main concept of paleobotany. Only a small percentage of the plants that ever lived left evidence of existence. The major plant fossils that have been discovered are mineralized wood, flowers in amber, leaf imprints in coal, or other plant life many years ago. Paleobotanists document

Thing with Feathers" David Quammen discusses the existence and evolution of the missing link between birds and reptiles: Archaeopteryx. He explains that the Archaeopteryx is one of the first dinosaurs with feathers and the essay suggests that this species was the transitional stage between reptiles and birds. In the process, Quammen also states two of the major theories that outline how and why the Archaeopteryx might have developed feathers, as well as how it might have given them an advantage over

11. Describe and demonstrate sexual plant reproduction in species representing selected taxa. Reading or class activity: The class activity that demonstrated this was the labeling, locating, coloring the flower structure and its reproduction. What you learned: I learned that each individual section of the plant/flower structure has its own use. The petals of a flower are used to attract insects or smaller animals while the anther produces pollen. The pollen that is produced by the anther is carried

Trichomoniasis is a type of STD that you get from a parasite called Trichomonas vaginalis. It is mainly common in women but can also be found in men. The protozoan is very tiny, ranging from approximately 7 to 15 mm, and cannot be seen with the human eye but the size may vary. It appears to be more oval shaped but of course can change to certain conditions. The parasite has a unique structure with five flagella helping with movement, one of them inside the membrane helping with direction. Its cytoskeleton
