Biodiversity of invertebrates found in leaf litter in the Solebury woods Introduction: We are trying to compare the biodiversity of leaf litter invertebrates in forested areas on each side of the horseshoe trail on Solebury School’s campus. Each area has significantly different ecological histories. Leaf litter invertebrates are essential to the forests wood web. At the base off the food web are the main producers which would be trees or shrubbery. Then there are the primary

Biodiversity is not uniformly distributed across the geographical regions of the earth. Certain regions of the world are flourished with a very large number of different species. Hot spots are the richest and most threatened reservoirs of plant and animal life on earth. There are about 34 hot spots identified in the world. Among this‚ India has two hot spots namely Western Ghats and Eastern Himalayas. The Western Ghats hot spot region lies parallel to the eastern coast of Indian peninsula

evolution. Divergent evolution occurs when change from a common ancestral species increases as time passes‚ leading to a speciation event; that is‚ the evolution of two new species. Convergent evolution on the other hand differs from divergent evolution because it is the development of similar features separately in unrelated groups of organisms though natural selection. Finally Parallel evolution is a look at species that are more closely related then those of divergent evolution. It is the independent

Most radial animals are carnivorous and have tentacles for capturing prey that project around their tentacles and mouth up are termed polyps; pelagic species that float or swim in open water project their tentacles and mouth down are termed

Charles Darwin studies the earthworms and the pigeons traits. Charles studies the earthworms because he was a naturalist‚ an expert in geology. Darwin enjoyed learning and studying about earthworms. He mostly studied the worm’s traits‚ what food the worm eat‚ hearing‚ and sight. Darwin’ father knew he couldn’t do this experiment‚ so Charles had to prove him wrong. Darwin started with the light experiment‚ he placed a earthworm under a heating lamp to see the redness on top the head. After he studies

people originated from apelike ancestors. Scientific evidence shows that the physical and behavioral traits shared by all people evolved over a period of at least 6 million years. A. From Ape To Man Fossils from several different early australopith species that lived between 4 million and 2 million years ago clearly show a variety of adaptations that mark the transition from ape to human. The very early period of this transition‚ prior to 4 million years ago‚ remains poorly documented in the fossil

accepted name. The first part of the scientific name—in this case‚Ursus—is the genus to which the organism belongs. Agenus(JEE-nus; plural: genera‚ JEN-ur-uh) is a group of closely related species. Linnaeus’s hierarchical system of classification includes seven levels. They are—from smallest to largest—species‚ genus‚ family‚ order‚ class‚ phylum‚ and kingdom Family- group of genera that share many characteristics Order- group of similar families Class- group of similar orders
Premium Eukaryote Bacteria Species
Every species has a value and role in nature. It has a right to exist‚ whether or not it is known to be useful to humans. All life is sacred and must be protected. Humans are no more important than other species. They all have a good of their own and both deserve to be valued.Thus everything has an equal right to exist simply because it already exists. Having this right will result in also having a "right" to have ones future survival guaranteed to an extent equal to any and all other species.

as controls on hunting‚ importation of non-native species and pollution. Wildlife conservation is important and is not to be mixed up with preservation‚ preservation suggests wildlife should be left alone with no contact from humans whereas conservation will use human involvement to restore habitats for example. 2 The importance of conservation to wildlife 2.1 The Dodo As the human population has climbed‚ the extinction rate of other species has also gone up; indeed‚ humans began causing extinctions
