Moreover‚ the article mainly list detailed information on statistics done by other researchers and scientist. The author simply used manipulation of statics. I believe‚ that the article was used in

groups‚ scientists can monitor the breeding rates of animals and compare them to recent years to see if their population has flourished or declined. Conserving biodiversity isn’t just about conserving endangered species‚ it’s about conserving entire habitats and ecosystems (Environment.gov.au‚ 2017). Some ways Australia is preserving their biodiversity is by introducing national policies for the management of Australia’s biological resources‚ whole farming linked to regional or catchment plans and catchment

Elk (Wapiti) Preferred Habitat: The most productive habitat for elk is aspen. Aspen areas can contain and support large numbers of elk. Some other preferred habitats are oakbrush‚ mountain shrub‚ conifer‚ spruce fir‚ and ponderosa pine. Oakbrush can provide coverage and food for the elk. Most of these habitats provide coverage‚forage‚ and security for elk. Place in the food web: Below is a picture of a food web of animals in Yellowstone National Park. The elk is a primary consumer in a food

Conservation of Energy In explaining the laws of conservation of energy‚ energy cannot be destroyed or made. Although‚ energy can be transformed or transferred from one form to another‚ for example: The total amount of energy in any system never changes but stays constant over time. Second example: Coal is burned‚ and then used as thermal energy for heat‚ next the steam is used for mechanical energy. Energy is never destroyed but changed to forms like thermal energy‚ gravitational energy‚ electromagnetic

Wildlife Conservation INTRODUCTION Wildlife is a collective term that includes animals‚ bear‚ butterflies‚ crustaceans‚ fish‚ moths‚ aquatic and land vegetation which forms a part of a habitat. Domesticating wild plant and animal species for human benefit has occurred many times all over the planet and has a major impact on the environment‚ both positive and negative.

has a tendency to live within a habitat that has a hue similar to itself. It can alter its position on the background for a better camouflage to avoid predation (Marshall 2016). My test species the Phrynosoma Hernandesi‚ is an animal that is relatively a small and slow‚ making it an easy target for predation. Due their physical nature‚ P. Hernandesi relies heavily on camouflage to survive (James 2007). Thus hue similarity between the P. Hernandesi and its habitat will increase its chances of survival
