Periwinkle

Participant A 1. Would you rather wear a laundered shirt that had been previously worn by someone you like, someone you dislike, or someone you don’t know? Please explain. Within this mini study survey, my participant responded that it did not matter if the clothing was laundered from someone he liked or someone he disliked or even from a complete stranger as long as the clothing was washed. The participant also stated that if he liked the clothing then he would wear it regardless if it was previously owned from a complete stranger, someone that he liked or even someone that he did not like. 2. Would it be more difficult for you to throw darts at a dartboard depicting a picture of someone you like or someone you don’t like? Please explain.…

depth into the predation of Periwinkles (Littoraria irrorata) and the blue crab (Callinectes sapidus). What are periwinkles? Whats the reaction and relationship between the two species. How can one species detect the other? Once we explore the our creatures we will then conduct an experiment to test if there are any notable difference in the reactions of the periwinkles in the presence of the blue crab. Periwinkle (Littoraria irrorata) Periwinkles (Littoraria irrorata) are marine…

the rocky shore at Te Raekaihou Point, and my chosen species are the Blue-Banded-Periwinkle (Austrolittorina antipodum), and the Brown-Barnacles (Chamaesipho brunnea). The community pattern found in the rocky shore is zonation. Zonation is the division of plants and animals into distinct horizontal bands, or ‘zones’. The data collected shows zonation of the plant and animal species’, where the mature individuals of the Blue-Banded-Periwinkle species (Austrolittorina antipodum) live mainly in…

Darwinian Snails: Introduction The flat periwinkle is a small snail that lives on seaweeds growing on rocky shores in New England (McRae 2016). The scientific name of the periwinkle snail is Littorina obtusata. They were first introduced to the Atlantic Coast during the 19th century. These snails are known mainly for a morphological trait, the variation of shell thickness within the population. Several studies have been done already to study the evolution of the periwinkle snails shell…

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, periwinkle snail, fucus and…

show. In the episode of Blue’s Clues titled Meet Poka Dots! Preschooler (audience between the ages of 2-5), follow a simple slow-paced narration about a dog name Blue who leaves clue for the host and viewers. The story progresses at a leisurely pace prompting the viewers to help find easily visible clues that will solve what Blue wants to do. In this episode, the audience is introduced to Blue’s friend Poka Dots, a small green dog toy with purple poka dots. Joe asks Blue what she’s going to play…

the rocky shore of the particular site. No presence of barnacles was noted. There were several favourable abiotic and biotic factors within this microhabitat. These included tidal action, salinity, availability of nutrients and lack of diversity within the competition of space and lack of predators. Despite these favourable characteristics, certain limiting factors prevented the organisms from inhabiting the site. Perhaps the most crucial limiting factor was the substrate. Since barnacles…

alkaloids like caffeine can act as a plant defense against herbivores by causing excessive stimulation when consumed. Caffeine can also act as a defense mechanism against other plants. When high levels of caffeine are produced by coffee seedlings it can inhibit the germination of other seeds in the vicinity of the growing plants. This defense is used in competing for growing space and nutrient resources. (Boundless Biology Textbook. Boundless, 13 Apr. 2016). Alkaloids also play a major role in…

repetitive boats in the painting to sway. Furthermore, one can see the continuity of repetition in Luce’s choice in color pallette. The colors of deep blues, purples and black brings continuity to the piece to pull the 3 horizontal sections together. The sky is the lightest tone, then the water, then the hills and the boats being the darkest at what is almost a pure black. The image appears hazy due to Luce’s use of the technique of pointillism to paint his piece. He has dotted spots of…

New environments with new people and new love can be terrifying, especially if said love is a mystery with an unknown past. A newlywed couple seems happy, until the wife notices her husband’s unexplainably large hand. It holds her attention and scares her all at the same time. Similar to the way she feels about men, she knows they like to be in control, she disagrees with that, but she still wants a relationship with a strong, submissive man. Colette shows this theme in her short story The Hand…
