Intraspecific competition

skull ornamentation, including the swollen and fused nasals and the frontal horn. Other ceratosaurs, including Carnotaurus, Rajasaurus, and Ceratosaurus itself bore crests on the head. These structures are likely to have played a role in intraspecific competition, although their exact function within that context is unknown. The hollow cavity inside the frontal horn of Majungasaurus would have weakened the structure and probably precluded its use in direct physical combat, although the horn may…

driving force that encourages individuals and organizations to improve their material well-being Wants - Desires that can be satisfied by consuming a good or service Competition - A common demand by two or more organisms upon a limited supply of a resource; for example, food, water, light, space, mates, nesting sites. It may be intraspecific or interspecific. Trade Off - Giving up one thing for another Stock - A certificate…

parts: excessive multiplication, struggle for existence, inheritance and variations, and survival of the fittest. It can be explained that the reproduction of organisms always exceeds the carrying capacity of the environment. Besides, the intraspecific competition happens such as the struggle for food, mates, and habitats. Also, the variations of organisms are beneficial for survival but sometimes they are counteractive.…

Introduction It is estimated that there are one trillion species on earth despite all being originated from one common ancestor, LUCA. In this essay the importance and origin of diversity within species and between species is explored using Coleoptera as the taxonomic group. Coleoptera is the most dominant order of insects with 350,000-400,000 species, this is 40% of all insect species (Gillott, 1995) and the largest order in the animal kingdom. The degree of differences between individuals is…

Thermoregulation includes all phenomena in which an organism maintains a mean or variance of body temperature that diverts from a null expectation, defined by random use of thermal microclimates and passive exchange of heat with the environment (Akin, 2011; Kemp & Krockenberger, 2002;). In Biomimicry, through studying thermoregulation, human beings can apply nature’s techniques to architecture when designing buildings. Present temperature systems are using a lot of energy, especially to…
