When it comes to lizards, there are over 4,500 species known at the moment with more being continually discovered. The most recent find involved three new species of wood lizards that were classified as new all at one time. This is highly unusual and a great success for the scientific community. New Species of Wood Lizards Scientists were able to locate three new new species of wood lizards, as seen at Ecuador Travel [http://www.ecuador-travel.net/biodiversity.reptiles.htm), and they are…

The Island Horse Cliff Many years ago In the Hawaii Island there was a huge tropical storm that lasted for days. This storm caused the islanders to stay in the village for 4 days they had to eat the crops they had collected for winter, when they ran out of their crops after the storm there was no food all the food had been destroyed because of the storm. All they had left were their horses they had no choice but to sacrifice the horses and serve them to the village. When they ran out of horse…

dioxide would increase and the level of oxygen would decrease. We thought this would be the case because this aquarium contains gravel and snails, and snails need more cellular respiration than photosynthesis. In aquarium #3 that contained gravel and plants only, we predicted that the level of carbon dioxide would decrease and the level of oxygen would increase. We thought this would be the case for aquarium…

One of the most intimidating tasks challenging an aspiring entomologist is the identification of species within a family as diverse as ground beetles (Choate, 2001). Ground beetles are one of the most diverse insect families in the word. They occur in apparently all terrestrial habitats and represent a major part of the invertebrate predator guild of the soil fauna, e.g. in forests, maquis and agrocoenoses (Arndt et al., 2011). Ground beetles are often chosen for study because they are abundant…

“Yeah, but I already know how to do it. It’s common sense, really. Plus, I learned how to make a pill in science class. You pour the yellow mixture into the pan with the tablet-sized holes in it. Bake it for a while until it gets hard. Then, you let them cool. When they are done cooling, drop a little poison over them. That’s all there is to it,” Faith smiled. “Not even,” Quinn smirked. “You have to make the poison so the Elders can’t feel any pain. Now that is hard.” “Okay. Then teach me.” She…

As outlined in the Landowner’s Guide to Managing & Controlling Invasive Plants in Ontario document, invasive species (such as buckthorn, dog strangling vine, and garlic mustard) negatively impact our native biodiversity. And pose a significant threat of establishing a monoculture in addition to creating a new environment that cannot sustain or support our native species anymore. In our region, buckthorn lacks any natural enemies and has a longer growing season. Which can provide it an unfair…

The hormone I chose to research is called Serotonin. It was first discovered by Vittorio Erspamer in Rome in 1935. American scientists then verified all of the findings in the late 1940’s. In 1948, Serotonin was named and isolated by Maurice M. Rapport, Arda Green, and Irvine Page. Serotonin is produced in the Pineal gland in the brain and also in the intestines. Majority of the body’s Serotonin is found, and has a key role, in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. This hormone is also found in…

which contain seeds that go through their digestive system and then gets excreted. This process increases the biodiversity, and the chance that the plant will survive past the sapling stage. Bonobo are helping not only the plants, but herbivores that consume the plants so they don’t starve to death. Therefore, if Bonobo went extinct, so could the plants and herbivores. 2. How will this event, information, or whatever is being addressed in the article affect the environment? Explain your…

A Brook Trout has to have many needs in order to survive. One priority that a Brook Trout has to have is fresh and clean water. Although the Brook Trout have to have clean water, if it's too clean, they will die. The reasoning behind this is the trout have to have some bacteria in the water called good microbes, which cleans the water in a way the fish need it to be. Another thing they need in order to survive is some type of protection. If there is a fish in the water that is killing and…

Did you know that there are only 7,100 cheetahs left in the world.The population is decreasing everyday. Sadly cheetahs have become one of the many endangered animals around the world, they have become very vulnerable. The cheetah is the fastest land animal in the world. Cheetahs are one of the many animals that are becoming vulnerable because of humans, hunters, and poachers. One of the reasons cheetahs have become endangered is is their loss of living space. They need large, open areas for…
