the late century‚ extinction becomes common topic in our daily discussion and debates. An average of 27‚000 species is currently extinct each year and there is a possibility of 22% of extinction in the overall species if action is not taken. Animal extinction is due to human immorality and irresponsible behavior just for their own benefits. Since the year 1600‚ a total of 83 mammals species are known to have become extinct. Wildlife population depleted the trade in live animals‚ damaged habitats

Mill is a utilitarian philosopher who lives by the Greatest Happiness Principle‚ in which there is a clear distinction between both lower and higher pleasures. Though thoroughly explained‚ one must also question the justification of these pleasures. Many of these beliefs leave the reader hanging on the edge‚ with further questions that need to be answered. What is the exact distinction between the lower and higher pleasures? And how are higher pleasures measured as most valuable? How clearly

plant. This system remained popular into the nineteenth century. Gradually Linnaeus also developed a system of names in which each species of plant and animal had a genus (class or group) name followed by a specific name. For example‚ Plantago virginica and Plantago lanceolata were the names of two species of plantain (an herb). Botanists agreed in 1905 to accept his Species plantarum (1753) and zoologists (scientists who study animals) agreed to accept his Systema naturae (1758) as the official starting

races are distinct genetically divergent populations within the same species with relatively small genetic differences. The populations can be described as ecological races if they arise from adaptation to different local habitats or geographic races when they are geographically isolated. If sufficiently different‚ two or more groups can be identified as subspecies‚ which is an official biological taxonomy unit subordinate to species. If not‚ they are denoted as races‚ which means that a formal rank

Speciation 1. Why were wasp species A and B no longer able to mate with each other after their populations were isolated from each other? Since there was a barrier between the two populations‚ a mutation occurred in population B. This was a positive and dominant mutation that caused all of population B to evolve over time. By this time‚ population B has evolved into a new species and the two groups are now too different to mate with each other. 2. Explain how the two species of butterflies may have

detrimental effect on more than a handful of species and ultimately cause a reduction in biodiversity due to habitat loss. Biodiversity is important environmentally‚ socially and economically (Lancaster‚ 2013). To tackle this current problem‚ methods of conservation are key for the success of increasing biodiversity. As defined by the World Association of Zoos and Aquarium Conservation Strategy (WAZACS)‚ conservation is the securing of long-term population of species in natural ecosystems and habitats wherever

I think that invasive species are invaders. An invasive species are living organisms that are non-native species in particular environment. In other words‚ it is an imported species that has a tendency to spread and is capable of damaging the environment‚ the human economy and human health. Some of these invasive creatures have caused the extinction of whole species and have caused irreparable damage to the surrounding ecosystem. For example‚ alien insects‚ organisms‚ plants cause damage to crops

Question3) Using the following websites choose one extant (currently living) metatherian (marsupial) mammal species. Conduct research about the species. Discuss and analyze the species’ anatomy‚ ecology‚ and life history. Write a species account of at least 300 words correctly citing the reference source(s) you used. Scientific names are comprised of the genus (capitalized) followed by the species name (not capitalized) and they are italicized. For example‚ Ornithorhynchus anatinus. Site Name Web Site
