Invertebrate

OBJECTIVES We aim to determine if draw down of an impoundment at Necedah NWR creates habitat that is more desirable to whooping cranes after hatching colts and if said habitat can also provide better shelter for young colts leading to higher probability of fledging. We will also determine what impacts, if any, this drawdown will have on other avian species such as sandhill cranes and secretive marsh birds which may act as an indicator species in relation to wetland ecosystem quality (Conway…

the canvas, greatly opposing the traditional themes of artwork. The fauvist received great attention as a result of the aggressive and bold paintings when recognised at first site. According to the art critics their artworks were recognised as “invertebrates” and “incoherent”. The name Fauves came from their violent and bold approach to modern art and their aim to portray art as a personal expression through the use of harmonious and primarily organised colours. Art critics identified there…

Eukarya. Their multicellular presence and existing nuclei exclude them from prokaryotic domains. Furthermore, they are classified in the Animalia kingdom because they are not prokaryotes or protists. Next, Sea Stars fall under echinoderms, which are invertebrates characterized by their hard, spiny skin. The echinoderm phylum consists of mostly sea creatures (Pawson & Miller, 2016). Organisms placed in the Asteroidea class are identified by their arms that extend from a central disk, ability to…

Meat is defined by the Oxford English Dictionary as the flesh of an animal or bird. Food is any nutritious substance that is being eaten by man, animal or absorbed by plants in order to grow and maintain life. Meat is one of the many foods consumed by man. Meat is healthy, nutritious and beneficial to the existence and survival of man. Survival of man is, therefore, reliant the availability of vitamins, minerals and the classes of food man eats. The United States Department of Agriculture…

collecting has become a key component of human adaptation. It has also impacted other human developments such as such as higher population densities, greater sedentism, and longdistance migrations by people. This article reports the “abundance of marine invertebrate species from PP13B cave and interpret[s] these abundances in terms of paleoenvironmental changes”, how shellfish is procured in rocky and sandy shores, and what else the collection of marine shells can be used for other than food…

Lionfish are venomous Marine fish found in the Pacific and the Indian Ocean. The fish have started invading the Atlantic waters. The Lionfish pose a great danger to the native ecology, and they might destabilize the ecology. They have a large appetite and are well adapted to evade their prey. The lionfish belong to kingdom Animalia and the Phylum Chordata. The fish lives in deep waters in the Coral feeding on the reef fish. The fish develop at a very fast rate such that a fingerling attains…

figure out if an animal is experiencing pain. Vertebrates such as dogs, cats, alligators etc nurse their wounds, make sounds when they experience distress and tend to avoid situations which can be pain-inducing. There is also a good case that invertebrates also feel some amount of pain. We cannot measure the amount of pain that an animal goes through but we do know that there is at least some harm caused to an animal when they are being utilized as commodities and not as living beings by humans.…

Introduction Orangutans spend most of their lives high in the trees; they are seldom seen on the ground. Each night, they build a new nest or add to an old nest to support them while they are sleeping (Caldecott, 2005). Home ranges are typically between 5-25 km for males, and 1-10 km for females (Caldecott, 2005). As you can imagine, orangutans that live in captivity don’t have homes remotely close to those ranges. Not only is it smaller, their enclosures also lack forest canopies for them to…

Water is a colorless, transparent and odorless liquid that exists in all three states of matter. It plays three major roles as the: a) universal solvent, b) reactant molecule, and d) temperature stabilizer. Water is created when Hydrogen and Oxygen undergoes synthesis reaction as 2H2 + O2  2H¬2¬O. In the process, an oxygen atom is covalently bonded to the two hydrogen atoms forming a non-linear molecular shape of water. According to the Valence shell electron pair repulsion (VSEPR) theory, the…

It always seems to come down to this question, the “who am I?” An entire branch of philosophy devoted to how to approach the question and still, I have no definite answer, though there has been some great art to come out of it. Thankfully, I have a bit more… “specificity” to work with, limits have been put down, as well as the much easier “why” to scribe. All about the idea of nature. That laid out, it turns the question from “Who am I?” to why am I doing this? The question more manageable, it’s…
