Himalayas

Due to their unique geographic position (flanked in the northern side by young fold mountains of Himalayas and the Bay of Bengal on the southern coast), leads to restricted external gene flow, these diverse populations retain a unique population structure which in turn is expected to mirror in their genome pools (Krithika et al. 2008). This region is…

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…

Sea-Level Rise is a consequence of the global climate change causing a general shoreline retreat and an increased flooding (Mangor 2004). With a 1 m rise in Sea Level, affected populations will be 36.9 million in the East Asia and Pacific region, 7.9 million in the Middle East and North Africa, 6.4 million in South Asia, 2.7 million in Latin America and the Caribbean, and 2.3 million in Sub-Saharan Africa (Dasgupta et al. 2008). With tidal gauge instruments, it was measured that the sea…

I live alone. So, the other day I decided that it was about time I tried my cooking skills. Damnit, my cooking is horrible, I am gonna have to keep eating outside until I am “legally” married. So, I cooked. Then, I settled down to eat. I ate in like thirty minutes and then thought: “I am gonna relax for a few minutes and then wash the dishes…” I turned up the music and continued listening to whatever the Migos were shouting between the beats even though I understood very little of it. After…

“If Nature isn’t kept healthy, humans won’t survive,” (naturespeaking.org). This simple issue, which is continually compounded each and every day, it turns out isn’t so simple at all. The evolution of our species seems to have brought us, as a human race, to a place full of entitlement. What we want – we take. Have we become too selfish? Will there be a point where we have taken too much and given too little? When will it become too late to give back? These questions are all too familiar…

Presence of carnivores helps to maintain the integrity of ecosystems throughout the world (Soulè and Terborgh, 1999). Many carnivores are capable of altering trophic structure and biodiversity through a process known as top-down control (Elmhagen and Rushton, 2007). Through this, carnivores are able to prevent the overabundance of herbivores. If uncontrolled, an explosion in herbivore population density would increase the grazing pressure that would ultimately threat the survival of the…
