Invertebrate

numerous organs, while Bd infections only affect the skin that of which the Southern Leopard frog has a resistance to. This resistance is believed to be associated with their “protein-rich diet” that consists primarily of live insects and other invertebrates and occasionally small vertebrates (Rollins-Smith…

whatever but most toads “eat insects and earthworms” (VanDeWalle 3), that is because they have learned how to eat and became better at it. People may not know what they eat or may think they are vegetarians. While frogs eat insects,spiders and other invertebrates. (VanDeWalle 8).When tadpoles are born they “are herbivores they graze on aquatic vegetation (algae).” (Poor and Grossman Biokids).Tadpoles are known to not eat and these are toad tadpoles To sum it up,frogs and toads are not the same.…

Invasive species are quite intriguing and the government has played an important role in the reservation of such unique plant and animals. This paper aims to outline a single form of invasive species giving full account of its origin and other specifics. Furthermore, it outlines the factors that have led to the successful existence of the species in a strange or non-native ecosystem. In this paper, the case will be the Wild Boar. The wild boar is native to Eurasia. The main reason for its import…

The notochord is the defining structure of the chordates, and has essential roles in vertebrate development. It is a flexible, rod-shaped structure that is in the embryonic stage of all chordates. It gives the skeletal support and is found in between the digestive tube and nerve cord. In some animal chordates lifetimes it is the main axial support in the body. The dorsal hollow nerve cord is the only feature unique to all chordates. It is located at the top of the animal, above the notochord.…

Each species in the world have a specific job in our world, a niche, some species are important and get the title keystone. Keystone species have an important life, without them the ecosystem they live in will have a domino effect that will change the ecosystem or destroy it all together (Nancy, 2013). The Sea Otter (Euhydra lutris) are remarkable creatures in that they help keep their environment in check (Konar, 2000). The genus name Euhydra and the specific name lutris are both translated…

Endangered species are such a huge problem that needs to be solved because they are part of an ecosystem and play key roles in that system. People can help by showing and giving support to the government such as the EPA and the DNR they can donate money, get involved with these organizations, and raise awareness. People can look up and endangered species such as endangered birds or small animals and plant habitats and foods for those animals so they have a place to live. People can fund…

Virus Taxonomy Order: Unassigned Family: Bunyaviridae Genus: Phlebovirus Species: Toscana virus talk.ictvonline.org Structure and genome The toscana virus (TOSV) is a negative-single stranded RNA virus, it is spherical in shape, it has an enveloped surrounding its capsid, and it has a diameter of 80–120 nm. Its genome is partitioned into three segments, termed (large)L, (medium)M and (small)S. With L about 6,400 nucleotides in length, M about 4,200 nucleotides in…

bodies can fit through small gaps and their usually short hair doesn’t get caught on thorns. Most people think of foxes as carnivorous, but it simply isn’t true. Though they mostly eat meat they also eat fruits, berries and grass. They also eat invertebrates like…

that had an “Noah’s ark” petting zoo. They had a local pet store, Aqualand, come out with some of the animals they had in stock. The owner, Mike, came with some of the many exodic animals he had in stock. Among which, he brought many reptiles and invertebrates. He had Ball pythons, Boas, scorpions and some rodents. I remember getting to hold a burmese python, he was white and yellow and practically the size of me at the time. I talked to mike for at least 2 hours about keeping reptiles and where…
