PREDATOR-PREY RELATIONS LAB Background Research: Predators and prey are organisms that interrelate‚ and they can influence on another’s success in reproduction. Predators are organisms that consume other organisms-their prey. These two organisms evolve together. They live in an environment where they must develop certain adaptations to survive. When an adaptation is developed‚ it gives an organism certain physical characteristics that create an advantage for survival and can come to dominate

Evolution Simulation: Predator-Prey Introduction: Need to add more….. This experiment is an attempt to simulate evolution by means of natural selection. Hoefnagels (2009) Natural Selection is defined as the differential reproduction of organisms based on inherited traits. Hypothesis: Using the first fabric we expect the colors red‚ green‚ and black to have the highest population resulting from predator stimulation which will result in decrease or extinction in other colors in this experiment

the best suited traits for their environment survive through reproduction and they pass down those qualities to the next generation. Predator and prey share the same ecological community and they evolve together. Predation is the interaction wherein one species consume another kind of specie. The prey is essential to the predator’s environment because the predator will die if it does not have a source of food. A successful process of predation

explore different math techniques used in order to demonstrate the predator-prey relationship in an ecological community. These math techniques are primarily used today in information technology to solve problems that present themselves such as those of efficiency. These problems can be solved by using graph theory‚ showing the relationship between different sets and subsets. In Food Webs‚ the sets will be the animals and their relationships to one another. There are different concepts that incorporate

availability of crops for the hares. However‚ the opposite of this may happen and the population of their prey or availability of their food source could drop‚ therefore affecting and decreasing the numbers in that specific species. For prey‚ in this case the hares‚ their numbers could drop due to an increase in their predators meaning more of them are required to supply for the needs of the predator. If there is competition for food for the Canadian Lynx‚ and another species use hares to hunt in the

Phylum: Chordata Class: Mammalia Order: Primates Family: Tarsiidae Common Name: Philippine Tarsier What is a tarsier? Tarsiers are the smallest species of monkeys‚ and wholly carnivores. They have enormous eyes‚ a long tail‚ pads at the ends of each of their fingers and toes and‚ have big round ears that help them hunt better. These pads let them climb very well. Their large eyes are excellent at seeing at night. These animals are nocturnal‚ which means that they hunt and stay

The Philippine Tarsier IJsselstein‚ Friday‚ 18 May 2001 (updated: Saturday‚ 24 April 2004) The Philippine tarsier‚ (Tarsius syrichta) is very peculiar small animal. In fact it is one of the smallest known primates‚ no larger than a adult men’s hand. Mostly active at night‚ it lives on a diet of insects. Folk traditions sometimes has it that tarsiers eat charcoal‚ but actually they retrieve the insects from (sometimes burned) wood. It can be found in the islands of Samar‚ Leyte‚ Bohol‚ and Mindanao

The Tarsier is a very elusive creature because it lives in such a small area of the world. It has the largest eyes to body ratio of any primate. Because of the immense size of their eyes that do not swivel in their sockets and the tininess of their body‚ the tarsier looks like something out of a Hollywood extraterrestrial movie and is often described as “the littlest alien” (Tarsier: The Littlest Alien). The tarsier inhabits the Philippine islands of Southeast Asia. These areas are covered in tropical

While most of these "Internet friends" turn out to be another teen or preteen‚ that ’s not always the case. Unfortunately‚ children are now dying at the hands of their Internet child molesters and‚ not all sexual exploitation of children occurs offline. These child molesters are blackmailing the children into performing sexual acts in the comfort of their
