Arthropod

The amazing things about turtles, salamanders, and Toads are that they have their own styles. There are similar species, and subspecies of turtles, salamanders, and toads. Also the habitats of the amphibians and reptiles are very interesting to now. When you see them, you should know them descriptor of the turtles and salamanders and also the toads to. Can’t forget the natural history of these amphibians and reptiles. We can't forget how they reproduce. Amphibians and reptiles of Monroe County…

this disease is in birds and sometimes rodents. Arthropods, like mosquitoes, mites and lice, are the main vectors for EEE, WEE and VEE. These arthropods feed on the bird and rodent populations, which are the carriers, and transmit it to the victim animal, which are mainly horses. Interestingly enough, while not a vector for transmission, reptiles, such as snakes, have been known to be carriers over winter months. It is important to note that the arthropod vector is essential for spread of this…

During World War II a horrific event occurred in history known as the Holocaust. Jews all throughout Europe were condemned and persecuted by the Nazis. However, before facing their unjust death they were placed in concentration camps located in Germany. The Jews were exterminated in different ways at the camps. An abundance of Jews imprisoned in the concentration camps died from the diseases that were obtained in the camp due to lack of human necessities. These diseases were caused by severe…

the development of tumors and their progression. Several drugs were tested on fruit flies to demonstrate the drug intervention against the enhanced dietary-malignant tumors. Eye morphology can be spotted by thorough examination of a fruit fly. Arthropods’ eyes differ from those of…

freshwater crayfish are classified as crustacean, meaning aquatic arthropod. Thinking about other types of arthropod, there are spiders, centipdes/millipedes, insects, and etc. Although they all have different scientific names, they are all called “bugs”. Here Wallace uses definitional argumentative claims. He says lobsters are bugs. They are “basically giant sea-insects.” He explains why lobsters are arthropods. Like many other arthropods, “they date from the Jurassic period.” And although…

was originally native to the Mediterranean, but has since then been introduced to different environments and habitats in other countries such as the United States (Holland A., 2014). The pillbug is not an insect, it is a crustacean, which is an arthropod…

fossils can shed light of evolutionary changes. For example, the transitional fossil can provide how the ancestor and modern species are different and similar. The most known example of transitional fossil is Tiktaalik which is the species between the arthropod and tetrapod. In addition, we can trace back the ancestor of the modern species using fossils. In the article, Perkins details how the species named elder frog might be an ancestor of salamander and frog, which fundamentally means that…

percent of life on earth. While the current geological age is called the Age of Mammals, this is not very accurate. If the goal was to be an accurate representation of the life on earth at this time, they would call this age the Age of Arthropods. Arthropods make up about 40 percent of all life on earth. The Cambrian explosion has an unmatched fecundity. Scientists wonder why this is. There are two reasons that they believe may answer their questions. The first reason being that times…

Repellent-Treated Clothing Permethrin is the agent of choice for these products. This is a man-made synthetic pyrethroid, a class of insecticides derived from Chrysanthemum cinerariifolium. Arthropod toxicity is exerted by sodium channel antagonism with, interestingly, strength of effect inversely correlated with temperature. Cold-blooded animals, in general, and fish, in particular, are unusually sensitive to these effects, while humans exposure is generally considered safe. Exposed mosquitoes…

The two different types There are two types of eyes in the world of today. There are what one calls compound eyes and there are vertebrate eyes. Compound eyes also known as Arthropod eyes, can be traced back to an arthropod called trilobite. These ancestors didn 't have complex lenses like those of today but instead, their eyes and lenses were made of the same rock that made their skin - calcite. Compound eyes today contain many ommatidia (singular: ommatidium) which consist of a corneal lens,…
