The cod, an otherwise tough midsized omnivore predator, will, when it first becomes “aware “of threats to its survival from overfishing, begin to make adjustments in a number of ways, as do all living creatures, the most apparent of which in the cod is to come to sexual maturity at an increasingly…

they have many different physical characteristics. Sloths have very long claws. Their claws help them hook on branches so they can hang. Sloths also have algae in their hair. This helps them to be camouflage from their predators. Since sloths are omnivores they have peg like teeth to eat leaves and branches. Their fur grows on the opposite direction from the stomach towards the back. This allows the rain to drain off their body while they are hanging in the trees. Sloths also do not pose a…

Although food variety is advantageous in that there are many different foods that could potentially provide nutrients, there is also a wide rage of toxic foods (Capiola & Raudenbush, 2012). As omnivores, humans are faced with the challenge of differentiating between good and bad foods, thus leading to exhibition of food neophobia. Demonstrating neophobic behavior means possibly missing out on a good source of nutrition; conversely, ingesting it could result in poisoning (Preedy, Watson, & Martin…

The ideal of being vegetarian has always existed. From the minute as a young child when we find out that the chicken we eat is actually the animal chicken, something registers in our minds, I want to be vegetarian. While most people don’t actually stick with it, there are the people who do with one of them being Jonathon Safran Foer. In his article, “Against Meat”, he explains his lifetime story of his dedication to vegetarianism and the events that took place to help him genuinely become a…

They are omnivores feeding on either plants or animals, both invertebrates and vertebrates, with their diet consisting of small insects like beetles, spiders, termites and ants as well as small snakes, mammals, birds, and household scraps (Department of Environment…

No pets allowed! This is what most read when signing the dotted line on a renter's agreement. But having a pet for your child is an important step in their development. It teaches responsibilities and gives them a companion to express love to. While most places, when it says "no pets allowed," mean cats, dogs, and birds; it is still possible to enrich your child's life (or even your own) with a pet. However instead of a hamster, why not invest in a Painted turtle. The Painted turtle, known as…

Trophic Cascade: Effect of Hemigraspus sanguineus on Intertidal Food Chain Abstract Hemigraspus sanguineus (Asian crabs), an invasive species, are found in multitude on east coast and more precisely along the long island sound. The end goal of this experiment is to see what long term effect of having this invasive crab could have on other organisms in the tides, more specifically littorina littorea (periwinkle snails). This would be achieved by studying the interaction between Asian crabs,…

order to reproduce, flowers and plants need to be pollinated. The main sources of pollination in nature are the bees. Flowers and plants are the primary food source for herbivores, which are, in turn, an essential food source for carnivores and omnivores. Without bees the whole food chain will be thrown off. I know all of this information because not only were they basic things we were taught in elementary school, but I am genuinely concerned about this topic. Through some background research I…
