environmental effects of predator and prey survival Abstract The purpose of this paper is to identify how the environment influences the ability of predator and prey to detect each other. Environment plays a big role between predator and prey’s relationship (Zhao‚ 2014). The reasons are environment is a place that let the animals compete with each other for resources in order to survived and it’s also a place that its interaction occurred among species. The study of predator and prey interaction is important

What is the first image that comes to mind when you think about polar bears? Most people think of polar bear cubs sliding down snow hills guzzling bottles of Coke. However‚ in my mind I see large majestic animals struggling to survive in the wild as the home around them is destroyed by climate change. Polar bears (genus: ursus‚ species ursus maritimus)‚ are one of the few large mammals that are able to survive frigid temperatures that reach as low as minus sixty-nine degrees Celsius due to their

The Polar Bear and Adaptations The polar bear is seen by many as the beautiful white bear that lives in the cold and ice of the areas within the North Pole. They may never look beyond the beauty to see the animal has progressed through natural selection to become a creature that endures and thrives in the frigid temperatures and prolific ice. The polar bear has adapted in various ways such as temperature regulation‚ hunting skills‚ movement in water and on ice. The bears white coat makes hunting

Predator-Prey Relationships: Coevolution versus Escalation Species on Earth interact in many different ways (Abrams‚ 2000). These interactions have evolved over millions of years to become an incredibly complex web of inter-species relationships and understanding these relationships enables science to model future species interactions (Abrams‚ 2000). From symbiosis to parasitism‚ Earth seems to have every type of relationship imaginable (Dietl and Kelley‚ 2002). One of the most intriguing

In the articles "The Anglerfish Ambush Predator of the Deep"‚ by Larry Brown and "Polar Bear"‚ by Shandra Brady I learned how anglerfish and polar bears adapt to their enviornments. Anglerfish live deep in the sea. Polar bears live in the icey cold artic. These are both hard places to adjust to. Anglerfish have fang-like teeth that are angeled inward for efficent prey grabbing. Female anglerfish have a spine that resembles a fisshing pole sticking out of their back called an "illicium" and at the

to observe the relationship between predator and prey populations as well as to observe the effects of competition in regards to space/habitat and food supply. It is also to observe some of the major factors that contribute to population increases and decreases and to learn how to plot data to observe patterns. I can determine the relationship between the predator and prey by analyzing the correlation between the two. I believe that the results will show that the predator and prey populations are

Polar Bear Crisis In May 2008‚ the U.S listed the polar bear as a threatened species under the Endangered Species Act. The Arctic is one of the most discussed on climate change‚ due to the fact that warming is greatest there and because what happens in the Arctic has the can eventually impact the rest of the Earth. So far‚ not only has it affected the way the ice is melting and the weather is changing‚ but it is mainly affecting the animals that are living there (for example‚ polar bears). Although

co-evolution. Divergent evolution is when two or more animals originate from a common genetic base. To prove divergent evolution in animals‚ the Ursus Maritimus or polar bear is an example. Divergent evolution is when similar animals branch off becoming dissimilar as time goes. Divergent evolution occurred 125‚000 years ago when brown bears were isolated from their ancestors. This movement got them stranded and trapped by glacial ice and happened because of geographic isolation which is being separated
