Invasive Species Essay

The earth contains a massive amount of biodiversity, like other animals on this planet, humans are just a member of the animal species. We tend to think or see ourselves as more superior to other living organisms because we have special features that allow us to function somewhat different from the rest of the animals. But still we are not different from the other animals, especially our closest living primate relatives, the bonobos and chimpanzees. To understand ourselves and what our place in…

Our species depends on positive and preventative checks to keep populations from surpassing food supplies. Without these biological differences, our species as a whole would be in danger of starvation and extinction, which is why those naturally inferior must exist to keep populations in check. These inferiorities can be plainly…

Plants and animals have made changes in their habitats as they have transitioned from water environments to land environments. This alteration requires the organisms to adapt to their new environments in order to survive and reproduce. These evolutionary transitions eventually led up to alterations in means of respiration, ways to prevent water loss, water dependent reproduction, and structural transformations. Amphibians evolved into reptiles and eventually into birds and mammals, being able to…

to change things and create an energy and a different way of being. He fully explains how he want individuals to acknowledge the present opportunities and use them as life changing and world-shifting methods to build as a non-destructive member species of the Earth community.

and Queensland (Save The Bilby Fund, 2016). It has disappeared from 80% of its previous range (Save the Bilby Fund, 2016). The purpose of this project is to educate children about the decline of the Bilby, and the danger that feral cats pose to the species, as well as how to protect other native animals and plants. Not only does the project aim to educate children, but hopefully the parents as well. Children need adults to become much more concerned and involved with environmental education,…

The Construction of human nature has been affected by multiple avenues, such as the interaction of Humans as a species throughout History, these interactions have helped to form the mind into a naturally selected set of cognitive adaptations. The importance of Human interaction, in the construction of Human nature, is emphasised by Evolutionairy Epistemologist, Tim…

PBL #1: Evolve a Primate! Species Name: Crescens ignis Common Name: Fire Crescent Monkey Geographic Distribution: Crescens ignis are native to regions in the heart of the Amazon’s tropical rainforests. They live in highly arboreal where there are seasonal changes in rainfall and temperatures. According to Fragaszy (1950), with such a highly arboreal area these monkeys are able to “use all levels from the canopy to the understory, going to the ground to drink, forage or travel” (p. 1). These…

location could have ever lived here. Biodiversity is the variety of life in an ecosystem. Biodiversity holds an ecosystem together like glue. Having biodiversity means every species, no matter how small, is important to maintaining life in an ecosystem. Human activities are the main threat to biodiversity. Humans…

In Loneliness: Human Nature and the Need for Social Connection, John T. Cacioppo and William Patrick delve into the natural phenomenon that is loneliness – what it is, what effects it has on the health and well-being of individuals, and what we can do to combat it. The authors use real life scenarios from individuals who offered up their precious time to be studied in order to determine just how “lonely” they truly are. They also utilize scientific research gathered from animals and tribes from…
