They also the ones that need our protection to ensure their survival in the wild. Standing from one point of view, the pandas are an endangered species which once desperately needed funds and resources to save themselves from the brink of extinction. They also helped to raise the awareness of animal conservation worldwide. Opposing this viewpoint, some see the…

Thermoregulation includes all phenomena in which an organism maintains a mean or variance of body temperature that diverts from a null expectation, defined by random use of thermal microclimates and passive exchange of heat with the environment (Akin, 2011; Kemp & Krockenberger, 2002;). In Biomimicry, through studying thermoregulation, human beings can apply nature’s techniques to architecture when designing buildings. Present temperature systems are using a lot of energy, especially to…

Water Quality Water is essential to human life and the health of the environment. Good water quality is essential for irrigation, drinking and recreation and also sustains ecological processes that support native fish populations, vegetation and bird life. We expect that our water supply will not only be safe, but will taste good, and look crystal clear. Water quality is commonly defined by its physical, chemical, biological and aesthetic (appearance and smell) characteristics. Water quality…

There are many different species of non-human primates. Each primate has its own characteristics, traits, and behaviors that establish its identity. Throughout history, however, primate species have evolved over time and there have been different research studies to see how primates have evolved. Northern white-cheeked gibbons are one of the closest relatives to human beings. White cheeked gibbon’s characteristics, traits, and behaviors explain the complexity of their species and how they are…

The Effects of Ocean Acidification on the Southern Ocean Marine Organisms and the Ecosystem The Southern Ocean has changed slightly over the last thirty years (Constable, A.J, Melbourne-Thomas J, Corney S.P, et al. 2014). Modern society burn fossil fuels which cause a steady increase in carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. The carbon dioxide combines with seawater producing carbonic acid and causes seawater to become more acidic, a process known as ocean acidification (Cooley S, Mathis J, Yates K.…

Imagine a planet wrought poison in its air and it 's ecosystem, with having endured such devastation that it struggles to keep its inhabitants alive, then imagine a single species animals no other than 195,000 years old, imagine that species taking advantage of the gift that it has with no prudence.
