Arthropod

Sunnyvale, CA), placed underneath the nest-boxes and averaged over 22 days of the brood rearing period, to determine the average temperature for each territory throughout the period (Pellerin et al. 2016). As a measure of prey availability, terrestrial arthropod abundance was determined using pitfall traps, in which a container was buried level with the ground and filled with 100ml of propylene glycol, to act as a relatively non-evaporative and non-toxic killing fluid to trap passing insects…

(Bucephala albeola) Bufflehead, short term for (Buffalo-Head). Commonly known as the butterballs of North American waterfowl. Dating back to 500,000 years ago lie fossil remains of these little divers in Alaska, California, Illinois, Texas, Kansas, and Washington. Generally living in North America, yet some occasionally arrive in Iceland, Japan, and Greenland. Buffleheads are native to North America. "Buffleheads have an extensive breeding range, with particularly high densities across the…

(Kierulff et al., 2012). According to the Smithsonian Institute, GLTs are preyed upon by cats, snakes, hawks and other raptors. GLTs are omnivores with their diet consisting of fruit, nectar, plant exudates, and small animals such as amphibians and arthropods (Kierulff et al., 2012). An ecosystem role of GLTs is seed dispersing, this is important to the restoration of deforested areas and increasing diversity (Lapenta et al., 2008). GLTs prefer to sleep in tree holes, most commonly cacao trees…

An example of an artefact discovered in Tutankhamun’s tomb was his sarcophagus (see Appendix) was used so it would, “protect three arthropod (man shaped) coffins” (Alchin, 2015). Explicit motives of Tutankhamun where he tried to show how recognisable he was through his sarcophagus. This was a representation of how Tutankhamun wished to be perceived after his death. Archaeologists…

and depend on autotrophies. Krill are shrimp-like marine invertebrate animals. These are smaller zooplankton but it is important for larger marine mammals as food for baleen whales, whale sharks, seals, and a few seabird species. Krill phylum is Arthropod. Krill form key trophic link between primary producer and higher level in marine food web worldwide. The size range of krill is about two inches (five centimeters) in length. Microorganism like diatoms etc when colonize on microplastic beads…

their host. There are manny different kinds of infections and they can be caused in manny different ways “Infections are caused by infectious agents including viruses, viroids, prions, bacteria, nematodes such as parasitic roundworms and pinworms, arthropods such as ticks, mites, fleas,…

All waterways were not created equal. Those who have never spent time studying stream structure or ecology are likely to incorrectly assume that any stream is, for the most part, just like any other stream. However, this is a dangerous misconception that is not at all correct. The truth is that streams and rivers provide a huge diversity of food, prey, and shelter along their length. This diversity can be explained by the River Continuum Concept and stems from the many different and highly…

Observations The several ecological factors discussed in the introduction were contrasted with the study site. The first site was analysed during high tide. Several aerate rocks occupied the rocky shore of the particular site. No presence of barnacles was noted. There were several favourable abiotic and biotic factors within this microhabitat. These included tidal action, salinity, availability of nutrients and lack of diversity within the competition of space and lack of predators. Despite…

Forensic Entomology Forensic Entomology is the study of insects and arthropods which help aid the legal system. This includes insects, arachnids, centipedes, millipedes, and crustaceans most commonly maggots are used. Forensic entomology can not only aid in murder investigations but it can also be used to detect abuse of children and the elderly, to determine the location of the crime scene if the body had been moved, termite damage or even bugs in food. History Forensic Entomology was first…

It spreads through a colony through regurgitation which occurs when bees process honey…
