front, are also white. It has a sharp, orange beak. Lifestyle-These birds live in large groups, mostly consisting of over 100 of them. Habitat-These birds live in floodplains and wet grasslands. This probably means their diet consists of fish. Food-Since the Magpie Goose lives in floodplains and wet grasslands, this means that they eat food that comes from the water, like fish. Their name also might come from the fact that they eat fish, because most geese live around water sources. Nest-…

Pre-Lab Questions 1. A population is a group of the same species that live in the same area and sometimes compete or can mutually benefit one another. A group of organisms will only be considered a population if they live in the same area in space and time. N is the true population size for a given group of organisms. This number is unlikely to be completely known. Whereas N hat is an estimate of population size. 2. There are two methods of sampling, direct and indirect. Direct sampling is an…

As mentioned above, the two skulls were compared are Proconsul Africanus (an ape skull) and Gracile Australopithecine (a hominid skull). Proconsul Africanus was from Kenya and lived 23.8-5.3 million years ago. However, Gracile Australopithecine was from Ethiopia and lived 5.3-1.8 million years ago. Based on observation the tooth size is different especially in terms of the canine teeth. The ape skull has large canine teeth whereas the hominid skull has small ones. The brain size of the hominid…

are projected to rise by 0.5-10C by 2030 and by 1.4-5.80C by 2100. These higher temperatures will result in increased evapotranspiration and lower soil moisture levels. Some cultivated areas will become unsuitable for cropping and some tropical grasslands may become increasingly arid. This may also expand the range of agricultural pests and diseases. Even now, farmers are alluding to increases in frequency and severity of extreme climatic factors such as floods and droughts. Rainfall patterns…

account of the fires used to clear the plots of land are not being controlled properly. Along with this, because of the depleting amount of forests there isn’t enough source of seeds because of lack of regeneration or inadvertent burning, this causes grasslands to become established from the lack of soil nutrients needed for agriculture and regrowth of the…

fur, which is what most people kill them for. Hundreds of koalas die because they have life threatening diseases”( natgeowild). “A savanna is a grassland scattered with isolated trees, which can be found between a tropical rainforest and desert biome. Not enough rain falls on a savanna to support forests. Savannas are also known as tropical grasslands”. “Every day the hot, humid air rises off the ground and collides with cooler air above and turns into rain”. There are several different types…

make sure that people don't hunt illegally. They help to protect the overall ecosystem which helps everything in the Amur Leopard’s habitat. Fire control: Forest fires are a threat to the amur leopard's forest habitat replacing it with temperate grassland that the leopards avoid. They needed something to be done to stop the fires from occurring The most affected area from the fires is located in the middle of the Amur leopard’s habitat. In order to protect the forest from fires and harming the…

The kingdom Fungi contains Basidiomycota or club fungi, which are also known as mushrooms. Fungi can be found in a variety of diverse environments, such as grassland areas, decaying logs, or with symbiotic relationships with the roots of specific trees. Mushrooms acquire food by breaking cellulose down to glucose. This natural process is used by fungi to produce glucose as a food source (technology, 2013). In the final stage of breaking cellulose down to glucose the enzyme cellobiase is used to…
