Mating

than the costs associated with individual acoustical signals. This is because duets likely require more practice, coordination, and attentiveness by participants (Dahlin, 2012). Acoustic signaling is important for many behaviors in animals such as in mating and defense. Understanding the function of duetting will further our understanding…

Niche that the organism fills The ecological niche or niche of an organism is the place and role in nature. This encompasses what it does, who it feeds, what it feed on as well as what it pollinates. Considering the role that the Brenton Blue butterfly fills, we find that like other butterflies, it serves as a pollinator. In this case, the Brenton Blue is a pollinator for its food plant, Indigo (scientific name Indigofera erecta). When the butterfly lands on the plant to feast on the nectar…

terrestrial species.” This is especially true for polar bear populations in the Arctic, as the presence of sea ice is imperative to their survival. Increased alterations in seasonal sea ice retreat and return influence movement patterns, predation, and mating (Derocher & Sahanatien, 2012). Earlier sea ice melt means polar bears must retreat…

odd for thinking of that particular woman before the Time of Mating. Equality states that the mating is “an ugly and shameful matter, of which we do not like to think”, which already reveal his disappointment and frustration he feels towards the society for selecting a man and woman to mate in order to create positive eugenics (30). Later when Equality grows fonder of her, it dawns on him that the Golden One is only one year away from mating. Equality is not aware of the reason why, but he is…

(Fisher 44). Again, Fisher put the spotlight on scent because it is one of the things we are all more susceptible to. In other words, it is mating season whenever the neurochemical decided to activate the deadly brain attraction chemical. Insects and humans are alike, female moths emit certain smell of pheromone to lure male moths to further enhance their mating and releasing the fragrance is almost on a primitive instinct. Of course, humans do the same thing to attract the opposite or same sex…

Invasive species are plants and animals or pathogens that are non-native to the ecosystem. In which under consideration and whose introduction may cause harm to the environment.(Gateway to Invasive Species Information) They come from different countries due to different environmental that factors that attract them here. Many of the animals that you thought that were native to the united states of america are not. Such as the Oryctolagus Cuniculus also known as the european wild rabbit or a…

The tusks grow up to 8.8 feet long. This tusk grows through the narwhal’s upper lip. Females can too grow a small tusk, but it doesn’t get nearly as big as the male’s. The purpose of the tusk is unknown, but scientist believe it is important in mating rituals. Narwhals are near the top of the food chain, and are directly impacted by the rapid climate change. Studies have shown that narwhals are one of the most vulnerable to the environmental effects of climate change because of increased…

What do you think of when your hear the word “squid?” Sea monsters with enough size and strength to drag down a ship? Hellish man-eating creatures of the deep? Think again. When I think of the order Teuthida, I think of medical discoveries, saving lives, fascinating intelligence, and scientific revelations. I think of complex anatomy and diverse shapes and sizes. I think of adaptability and resourcefulness. I think you should read this research paper on squids. Squids have quite an…

crime but the charm of this society is that laws aren’t always practical, making being alone a crime, too. He speaks to Liberty 5-3000, also known as the Golden One, when the State forbids them from taking notice of the opposite sex until the Time of Mating. He acknowledges his crime in his journal but did not let that stop him “for we did not think of all our brothers, as we must”. (Rand, 29) At this point, our protagonist has known what…

up in a ball in a fork in the trees. Sloths reside in the trees almost exclusively. They venture out of their trees only to use the bathroom or to swim. They are solitary animals who socialize only by sharing a tree to sleep. Mating for sloths is initialized by a mating scream uttered by the female sloth alerting all of the males in the area that she is ready to mate. The males duke it out by hanging from a tree and swatting at each other until one of them gives up. Females have one baby…
