islet The trip to Makuluva reef Islet was a really exciting and exhausting trip for me as it empowers me to learn new concepts concerning the terrestrial and marine organisms that are found in the islet. Also I got learn a lot of new flora and fauna species and its scientific terms that I had in my course of study. Before we board‚ the boat we were told by the capital to put on our life jacket for our own safety. I was very nervous as it was my first time to travel on an open boat. On our way to Makuluva

Neanderthals was a change in climate and landscape. They couldnt survive in an area with a disappearing habitat. They were so dependent on what they were accustomed to‚ that the transition couldnt be made and the result was an eventual extinction of their species. In the rapidly cooling European areas‚ humans used their intelligence to adapt‚ but Neanderthals were isolated to pockets of still wooded areas. One by one‚ the Neanderthals died

Diversity Index Lab Introduction: The measure of the biodiversity of organisms in a given area is known as the diversity index. The diversity index values will vary between 0‚ which would indicate no diversity‚ and 1‚ which is very diverse. Any values above 0.5 usually indicate a relatively diverse population. For example‚ a healthy forest or woodland should have a diversity index of 0.7. An area that is not very diverse‚ like a cornfield‚ might have a diversity index of 0.02 or less. In this

predators from detecting prey in the first instance (Rosier & Langklide‚ 2011)‚ for squirrels this type of behavior is known as SSA‚ “snake scent application”. In this lab we wanted to study two different species of squirrels‚ S. beecheyi and S. variegatus‚ in order to evaluate if SSA can be deemed as a species specific type of behavior. My hypothesis was that squirrels applied the snake skin scent to specific parts of their body in an organized manner. The null hypothesis is that squirrels apply the snake

ORGANISM: a living; anything that can carry out life processes independently. SPECIES: a group of organisms that are closely related and can mate to produce fertile offspring; also the level of classification below genus and above sub-species. POPULATION: a group of organisms of the same species that live in a specific geographical area and interbreed. COMMUNITY: a group of various species that live in the same habitat and interact with each other. HABITAT: the

theory of evolution. Three things you studied‚ homologous structures‚ analogous structures‚ and natural selection‚ greatly helped prove your theory of evolution among species. Homologous structures are very important when discussing the theory of evolution. Homologous structures are structures in organisms that are shared by related species that were inherited from common ancestors. Examples of this type of structure are present in the bones of humans‚ cats‚ whale flippers‚ and bat wings. The limbs from

resources are what we depend on heavily for our survival‚ yet nature depends on other species and organisms to be able to provide the resources being used up. However‚ humans do not recognize that they are not only beneficiaries of nature; they also have a role to play in replenishing nature’s stock of resources. It is mostly a symbiotc relationship that humans have with nature and the other forms of life; species require habitats to live as do humans; yet‚ most humans perceive their role in Earth

Pogona is a genus of reptiles containing eight species‚ which are often known by the common name bearded dragons. The term "bearded dragon" is most commonly used to describe the central bearded dragon‚ (Pogona vitticeps).[citation needed] The name "bearded dragon" refers to the "beard" of the lizard‚ the underside of the throat which turns black if they are stressed or see a potential rival. Members of this genus live in the arid‚ rocky‚ semidesert regions and dry open woodlands of Australia.[citation

occur in microorganisms such as antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Many species have become extinct in the past and the extinction of species continues to happen. The basic idea behind the theory of evolution is that different species have developed over time from simple life forms. These simple life forms first developed more than three billion years ago (as the Earth is believed to be about 4.5 billion years old).It explains how species are formed. 3‚500‚000‚000 years ago-First bacteria (prokaryotes)
