Invertebrate

These characteristics are vital as the animal must dive in order to reach its food source. The robust and thickness is a much needed adaption as the arctic waters are cold and the depths at which are necessary to reach the benthic invertebrates on which it feeds on. This adaptation was quite useful and as we can see from many different experiments the depths at which Odobenus dives at and how they maneuver through the water is aided well by their body shape and skeletal structure including…

During a trip to California, we took the opportunity to visit the Birch Aquarium at the Scripps Oceanography Institute with our cousins. During that trip, we saw plenty of marine life, as well as looking at plenty of issues concerning the ocean. Here, I will go over some of the issues and marine life we explored at the Birch Aquarium. When we first walked in, a man with a strange contraption, two plastic boxes on a table, said, “Want to see a flood?” Interested, we walked over and saw that…

The northern tip of the peninsula encompassing the major cities and metropolitan areas along with smaller urban and rural areas lies in havoc. All nine-counties containing cities, towns, airports; including regional, state, and national parks are in temporal disarray. The peninsulas endured a mass extinction occurring at an uneven rate with widespread and rapid decay in the biodiversity. The essential abiotic components of the ecosystem have altered introducing non-indigenous species with…

Seahorses Did you know that seahorses are the only sea animal where the male gives birth instead of the female. What about the fact that seahorses can eat up to 3,000 shrimp per day. While they are sleeping they wrap their tails around seaweed so they don’t float away. Of course, seahorses are very interesting and one of the most interesting animals in marine life. This paper will explain the birth,food,and adaptations of a seahorse. First of all,this is all about a seahorses…

would go on to be caught the most would be the different types of Darners or Meadowings. Such observations that I had made was as follows: “[Excerpt] Within the continuing activity of the bioblitz, it was essential for the identification of living invertebrates in order to not only learn of the different species that existed among the national park - but also to aid in the discovery of new species.” One of the major question however that would go on to peak my own personal interest however was:…

INTRODUCTION Parental care in Decapoda is usually limited to the female's care for her eggs (i.e., carrying, oxygenating, cleaning, protecting, and sometimes assisting in hatching) (Hazlett, 1983). Care of recently hatched juveniles is rare in invertebrates, and evolved mainly in terrestrial and freshwater species (Thiel, 2000). The freshwater crayfishes show some of the most complex patterns of parental care among decapods (Hazlett, 1983). The majority of studies with these animals refer to…

Lead (Pb) is one of an important contaminant surrounding our environment. Lead occur naturally in all soil and water (1), or can be found deep within the ground located in ore (2). Although lead can be found in small quantities, there is a great quantity of lead flow in the environment that is detrimental to human beings and plants. However, despite lead is a toxic metal, there are still lots of households products contains lead; burning of paper products, discarded rubber, battery casings, and…

Domestication of plants leads to further disturbance of other non-human species. Because plant domestication increases detrimental herbivore activities, humans started to utilize more chemicals. To control the pest population and increase crop yield, humans use chemically charged pesticides and fertilizers. The use of pesticides creates a vicious cycle between the domesticated plants and the herbivores. When farmers use pesticides, farmers are encouraging the pests to be more resilient to the…

It eats invertebrates that are easy to catch and eat. Despite these creatures lack of predators it is vulnerable to extinction for a number of reasons. Firstly the quality of water supply of their habitat it polluted due to increased development of residential and industrial…

cycles of pain, fever and chills. The parasite devotes the main phase of its life cycle in the salivary glands of the female mosquito “Anopheles Gambiae.” Malaria has complex life cycle but involves two host, a vertebrate host (Humans); and an invertebrate host (mosquito). Sporozoites of parasite transmitted by bite of female Anopheles mosquito (that has bitten someone with malaria at a particular stage). [5] When this occurs it migrates to the human liver where they undergo one or more cycle of…
