I chose the topic, Geology: Understanding Fossils. I’ve always been fascinated by fossils and where they came from, what we can gain/learn from them. My source for research is below, used via Google Scholar. Fossils - why are they important? This is a great question that a lot of people should be well-informed with. In the mission to seek out and discover fossils, we learn a lot about why this is important and where it all started. In the book, “Discovering Fossils: How to Find and Identify…
Description The common look for the malurus cyaneus would be a small , fluffy bird. This type of bird has a light blue and black color on its throat and also a little bit above the throat. The belly of the bird has a light grey and brown color on it and the beak is a very dark black. On the other hand the female malurus had a brownish color for it’s soft fur and a orange gaping beak. The shape of the malurus is a oval , round shape. The typical weight for the male is 8 through 13 grams but ,…
He was a man with a keen interest in the study of life. He lived in England his whole life and got married to his first cousin, Emma. He was quiet and didn’t say much, but his findings, along with others, are the basis of modern biology. The man who possessed those characteristics was Charles Darwin. He was born in 1809 and at the age of 16, was sent off to medical school, which he had very little interest in. As matter of fact, he often skipped class to study the plants and animals of the…
Ethnographic Park Piramides de Guima In the Ethnographic Park Piramides de Guimar they teach a lot about the customs, culture and history of the Canary Islands. In a single visit, without knowing many technical terms, you can get a general idea about the different aspects of the islands.The first panel we found explained a bit about the origin of the familyof Fred Olsen (the owners of the Ethnographic Park Piramides de Guimar) in theCanary Islands and the export of products by sea (bananas,…
Under the 16 career clusters, the first one is Agriculture, Food, and Natural Resources. One of the careers that are under this cluster is Zoologists Wildlife Biologists, who do the studying of life of wildlife, and how these animals interact with the ecosystems. They also study the physical attributes of animals and their behaviors from how humans have impacted on their wildlife and natural habitats. The needed skills are communication skills, with writing scientific papers and speeches, and…
Dottus variegatus. In nature, observations of animals such as insects and predatory birds indicate that predators select against organisms with phenotypes that do not blend in with their environment. In this lab, dots and their colors represent the species Dottus variegatus and the different phenotypes. Depending on the conclusion of the experiment, selection pressure for or against phenotype may improve or prevent reproductive success (fitness) and survival. The hypothesis being tested is that…
Why is zoo cruelty an important thing to take into consideration? Zoo animals are being taken out of their natural habitats more and more every day. Zoos are going out of their way to do such things. They are having to shoot these animals with a gun or anything they can to get them down and knock them out to get them into their own zoos. These poor animals could be leaving their moms as soon they are born and will never get to see them again.This paper is talking about zoo cruelty because…
Fossils are considered essential for the study of biological evolution because they are important in creating a time frame for once living organisms. They are the only specimen that provide us with direct physical evidence of the existence of past life as well as showing us the proof of evolution through the changes of each fossil’s skeletal structure. Sometimes interpreting the sequence of evolution within a living creature is difficult as the full range of fossils may not have been found,…
of this article highlights the uses of natural substances and organism to restore marine tropical coral reef system. Pertaining to the article, the coral reef system is complex and hard to reconstruct without altering the physical conditions and species that rely on it. As this study states, many of the causes for the loss of the coral reefs may be due to natural environmental factors such as the temperature changes but other causes are human influenced, such as tourisms near coral reefs. This…
action of these forces in generations have led to the formation of the changes that are experienced in the world today through the existence of different species that may have originated from the same ancestor. So, the present interaction and action of the forces in the world today may have a significant effect in the presence of various species several different generations will come. When we look around us in the natural and structural changes to see “that the forces of evolution have the…
