involved the following: 1. Quadrats a. Local frequency a.i. This involved individually counting the abundance of sea cucumber and macro algae (Padina) besides turf algae within the boundaries of the quadrat. a.ii. This also allowed us to assess the general distribution of particular species along the transect. b. Percentage cover b.i. The abundance of turf algae was measure using this method. This survey was conducted within the individual segments of the 25-square quadrat. It was instructed that

Jeanine Campa Biology 101 10/20/2010 Ecology-Interspecific Interactions Lab Intro: Ecology is the study of how organisms interact within their environment. Every species interacts with its surroundings‚ whether it’s within their populations‚ community‚ ecosystem‚ etc. In this lab‚ we will be comparing two different species and how they grow alone as well as together‚ in the same environment. More specifically‚ in this lab‚ we will be dealing with one of the most important ideas in ecology‚

GENERAL INTRODUCTION 1.1 Introduction. ‘’Fish’’ and ‘’Fishes’’ are two terms that usually used in worldwide. However‚ both are referring to different meaning. When referring to individuals of more than one species‚ the term ‘’fishes’’ is properly to used. Besides‚ the term ‘’fish’’ is correctly used when referring to one or more individuals of one species. Hence‚ the term ‘’fish’’ is suitable to be refer to 100 Rainbow Trout‚ while two different trout such as Brook Trout and Brown Trout is correctly

the small amount of information would be the reason for the fewer fish and higher amount of algae may be due to algae blooms. Algae blooms are due to a rapid increase of algae and too much nitrogen in the water. From this information‚ I can deduce that there is a runoff problem from one or more of the farms where fertilizer is being spread and is entering into the lake. This in turn creates massive algae growth which not only blocks out sunlight but also requires mass amount of oxygen. The fish‚

Rocky Shore Ecosystems- Point Cartwright Nicolas Cuny 11B Mr. Nisbett Due Date: 03/09/2010 Introduction: On the 23rd of August‚ the three biology classes or grade 11 at Redlands College visited the rocky shore ecosystems at Point Cartwright in Queensland. Two different types of rocky shore ecosystem were examined‚ the rock pool area‚ and the boulder area. We first examined areas within the rock pool area. The rock pool area has several specific features

Chapter 1 INTRODUCTION Background of the Study: For the past years‚ we‚ the proponents‚ noticed that the prices of products sold on stores keeps on increasing due to the unstable price of oil. We all know that life becomes harder and harder‚ and the products of our prime commodities and bills that we need to pay keeps on increasing. We also know that in our time today‚ we have to save money for our near future and for emergency cases. There are some ways to avoid spending too much money.

makes a protists a protists is the fact that it cannot be placed into any of the other kingdoms physically or genetically. For instance‚ the plant-like protists aren’t enough like plants to be one. The characteristic that makes algal protists (algae) plant like is the ability to do photosynthesis. Similar to plants‚ plant-like protists have __chloroplasts__ that contain the pigment chlorophyll‚ which collects and converts light into energy. In addition to green‚ algal protists may be red‚ brown
