NEWS STORY SUMMARY Dr.Raffael Ernst and colleagues at the Senckenberg Natural History Collections studied how abandoned forest roads in the rainforest of Central Guyana impact amphibian diversity. The study suggest that these roads serve as a sanctuary for amphibians during severe dry periods to enhance their survival and reproduction. For example, the water-filled potholes of roads act as spawning grounds. Researchers suggest these roads should not be disturbed as they are advantageous to…

What Global Warming Will Bring Since the Big Bang, there have been a total of seven Ice ages and seven warm periods in the Earth’s history. Accordingly, when the climate changes, many conditions such as sea levels, temperature, humidity and even the major existence of species have been altered as a natural phenomenon. As for this era, we are in interglacial period. Interglacial period is a period that exists between each Ice age, and its climate is altered so slowly that animals cannot even…

species, because organisms on opposite locations seem to be related due to similar ecological conditions. In other words Darwin concluded that different but related species may live in different habitats but in the same local area and that species may inhabit separated, but in ecologically similar habitats. In order to find an explanation for change in nature, wisely Darwin studied first change that humans occasion on plants and animals. Darwin learned there are certain traits that breeders…

usually put into crowded spaces. Animals in their habitats move freely wherever they want to. Now that these animals are in a small space, they can suffer from depression, get sick, stop eating or even die. Another problem is that sometimes animals can be separated from their families. This means they could be left alone (List of 11 Pros and Cons of Zoos). Imagine being taken away from your parents and siblings. How sad!

Also, by decreasing the number of elk…
