Abdulla Haider- Arianna Javier- Juan Esparza Professor Mejia Anthropology 101 5-18-18 Old World Monkeys Old world monkeys, which vary in species, can be found in many locations throughout the African and Asian Continents. They can be found in most of Africa, central to southern Asia, India and Japan. They belong to family Cercopithecidae, which share a few characteristics with New World Monkey, unlike their location. There are two main subfamilies of Old World Monkeys. The first,…

As M. tempus is an omnivore due to their monogastric digestive system, and is similar to a pigs digestive system, but with adaptations similar to that of bilbies (Thylacomyidae) due to the occasional low availability of prey and living food sources, resulting in adapted hindgut fermentation and a long digestive tract, (Tyndale-Biscoe C H 2005). Although M. tempus must ferment the consumed plant material, their gastrointestinal tracts are still incredibly different to those of foregut fermenters,…

An analysis on the importance of biodiversity in an ecosystem as shown by the gray wolf extirpation and reintroduction in Yellowstone Park The extirpation of the grey wolf (Canis lupus) in Yellowstone Pak is a prime example of the impact of biodiversity loss, specifically a keystone species, on a terrestrial ecosystem. Biodiversity can be explained by breaking down the two words combined to form the word. Bio is a Greek word used as a prefix meaning life. Diversity can be used in many…

Ningaloo Reef Marine Ecosystem 1. Identify ten organisms from your chosen ecosystem and draw a food web to show trophic interactions between them. Within this food web, you must include and label a decomposer. Ten organisms that live in the Ningaloo Reef include the bottlenose dolphin, loggerhead turtle, tiger shark, whale shark, Southern Calamari squid, jellyfish, zooplankton, dugong, phytoplankton and seagrass. The decomposer in this food web is bacteria, which works to further break down…

Cervus canadensis Domain - Eukaryote Kingdom- Animalia Phylum - Chordata Class - Mammalia Order - Artiodactyla (“even” - “number of toes”) Family - Cervidae Genus - Cervus Species- canadensis Cervus canadensis (Elk) is one of the largest species within the Cervidae family (deer), and is also considered one of the largest land mammals in North America and Eastern Asia based upon mass and size. The word “Elk” comes from two languages: Old…

2. Experience 2.1 Landscape Function Analysis At Mulloon Home Farm, Luke introduced Mulloon catchment and Mulloon institution to us. Then we started our research with Forest LFA, including landscape organization assessment (LOA) and soil surface assessment (SSA). Firstly, we set up a 50m transect running directly up and down the slope and mapped patches and interpatches on this transect. We regarded the place where resources could be accumulated as patches, like grass, shrubs, logs or trees.…

climate, then animals must adapt to that climate, which makes each region have different animals. There are 5 requirements an animal must meet in order to be domesticable. The first one being that they must have a diet that has plants in it. Either herbivore or omnivore, as carnivores take more effort to feed than they give back. Secondly, they need to grow to sexual maturity quickly. One cannot wait fifteen years to have more animals -- it is impractical, especially if one needs many of them.…

If I were to ask you an estimate of how much seafood you have consumed this year, what would your answer be? In the U.S. alone we consume about 5 billion pounds of seafood in just one year! Over the past ten years, one fish has grown to become one of the most consumed seafood in America, and that fish is Tilapia. Commonly referred to as the “aquatic chicken”, Tilapia is attractive to fish producers and consumers, because it is easy to breed and lacks the strong “fishy” taste many people…

Catriona Fry March 6th 2024 Period 6 Bigfoot ain’t real Imagine a creature covered head to toe in thick hair, reaching heights taller than the average human, and a five toed footprint twice the size of a man. That creature is argued to be the infamous Bigfoot, also known as sasquatch and believed to be related to the Yeti. Bigfoot has a strange existence, if they even exist in the first place. Though the Earth is not fully explored and all of the species cannot be fully accounted for, it is safe…

animals they play a vital role within their ecosystem . Apex animals, such as Tigers are responsible for controlling and regulating animal populations, and if they were to become extinct, then prey animals would dramatically increase in numbers. Herbivores for instance, who influence the rest of the food chain would threaten to exhaust the food supply. Furthermore, should a species become extinct the repercussions of its disappearance may be irreversible. Essentially, poaching results in…
