Ecology

This experience showed me how even a small amount of people can help our city, Laredo, become better and help historical landmarks be beautiful up to today. In my perspective, civic ecology seems more of a traditionalistic subculture this is because our state has a lot of tradition and I think keeping historic places adds to the tradition. The LBVESC could be called an interest group because they have a lot of events and volunteer service…

Thanks for sharing the real-life experience with the class. I think we have a lot of similar examples in daily life. I think human ecology theory can provide another perspective looking at these two cases and what causes the feeling of emotional disengagement. According to the book Marriages, families, and relationships: making choices in a diverse society, human ecology theory describes how the surrounding environment impacts the family, and how socioeconomic status, religious beliefs, gender…

Ecological feminism analyzes the relationship between women and the environment and “uses the basic feminist tenets of equality between genders, a revaluing of non-patriarchal or nonlinear structures, and a view of the world that respects organic processes, holistic connections, and the merits of intuition and collaboration”. The French feminist Francoise d 'Eaubonne first introduced the term "ecological feminism" in 1974 in her publication "La Féminisme Ou La Mort.". Le Féminisme Ou La Mort…

other factors like human hunting, growing bear numbers, and severe drought are also reasons for reduced elk populations. Grizzly bears have also killed more elk calves because of the loss of cutthroat trout as a food source. Among this clutter of ecology, there is not a clear link from wolves to plants, songbirds and beavers. These scientific studies show that it is too late for wolves to make much of change to Yellowstone park and that there are other reasons for why elk population…

Nothing can stop the power people have when they come together. As we can see through the examples of social media, natural disasters, epidemics, team sports and ecology this paradox has the ability to transcend through many different disciplines. In light of this paradox and the human condition of self-awareness, it is important to be self aware of the connections we are making in this world even if we feel disconnected…

that called my attention the most was by philosopher Slavoj Zizek whose topic was ecology. Zizek was born on March 24, 1949 in Ljubljana, Slovenia, he is a political and religious philosopher. In this document Zizek spoke about nature and how it is taken for granted. Zizek mentioned that nature is taken for granted, people believe that trash disappears as to say out of sight out of mind. Zizek also mentioned that ecology addresses real problems, with this in mind it connects back to nature.…

Biology and Ecology: The introduction of non-native species may pose significant dangers to the local ecosystems and the Asian carp is one of them. Asian carp is the common term for the species of grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella), Bighead Carp (Hypophthalmichthys nobilis), black carp (Mylopharyngodon piceus) and silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix) (Michigan Department of Natural Resources 2012). In the United States, the Bighead Carp have greatly affected the river ecosystems that it…

Results: During this lab, we finish watching the video “earth from space” and begin discussing the procedures that will be taking place at the COM field ecology laboratory. We learn about the experiments that will be conduct to study primary production, ecological succession and population dynamics in the lab. Discussion A. What is primary production? Primary production is the production of biomass from chemical energy (primarily sunlight) “during a given time of period in an ecosystem” (pg.…

refute the residents’ concerns regarding the recent plans to develop a shopping complex bordering the Wolverine Nature Preserve. My intention is not to discuss my own views on this matter, but rather state facts drawn from my expertise in the field of ecology. Although I will not be responding to the assertions made by the Chamber of Commerce, who sees and values this plan as an economical investment, I feel obligated to express the need for there to be biological proof supporting such claims. I…
