Pollinator decline

nature and if we keep killing them, then the flower reproduction will eventually stop and we will not have any more flowers in our environment. Honey bees specifically is the “most important pollinators of agricultural crops,” so if we would lose this species due to us, we will not have our most dominant pollinator anymore (Andree, et al. 1-9). We get more of our fruits, and many other foods from bee pollination, so if we continue to kill all the bees then we will not have any food life for us…

Bees. They make honey, they sting, and they inspired some pretty crazy hairdos in the 1960s. Were you aware though, that bees do much more than just provide us with alternatives to artificial sweeteners? In fact, bees, small as they are, play an immense role in the world’s ecosystem and production of food. So much so that they have a nearly direct effect on every other living thing, especially humans. As with most things in this world, though, people have a tendency to not be good stewards of…

enables us to understand more about bee behavior, and, not to mention, it will aid farmers in crop production to select the most efficient pollinators for specific types of crops. E. canum plants were surveyed and later used to calculate the proportion of the color red per flowers for each plant surveyed to compare and attempt to depict a correlation between pollinator visitation frequency and intensity of the color red in E. canum flowers. Although there is no evidence that suggests a…

The medieval period lasted from the 5th century to the 15th century. It began with the collapse of the western, Mediterranean region of the Roman Empire. During this time, diseases like the bubonic plague. The plague spread through fleas that were on rats on ships that carried cargo being traded. Warfare also weakened Europe as a whole causing it to change to a more rural and less populated place. People such as the Goths, Visigoths, Franks, Lombards, Angles, and Saxons also emerged as the…

thesis states that sea trade was crucial to the survival of the Roman empire, and the increase of Muslim invasions in the seventh and eighth centuries severed the unity of trade between the Western countries in the Mediterranean. This led to a steady decline of the Roman empire as it was unable to sustain itself through trade. There are differing opinions between modern historians as to the accuracy of the Pirenne thesis, with most historians arguing it is no longer a valid explanation for the…

the Late Antique period is seen to be characterized by decline in the towns of the Roman Empire. This period did see major changes in the urban landscape of many areas as administrative power accumulated in the hands of the imperial bureaucracy and many towns were reduced in size. Churches were becoming an intrinsic part of every city. Even the centers of power were shifting within the empire. This does not mean that empire was solely in decline, but rather the towns and cities of the Late…

United States falling condition, in spite of selected similar situations, is not quite as vast in scale to that of the Rome of Late Antiquity. Several generations of authors and historians have had their own opinions on the multiple causes of the decline, or, some argue that it was not a fall, but a period of transformation. The differences in opinions can presumably be traced back to the historical context that each of the historians has lived in. In other words, as time…

same mistakes as Ancient Rome. In doing so, he poses a series of questions that might help us better understand how exactly we have come to relate to that once mighty republic that met such a bleak end. Most importantly for us today, he questions if decline and fall lurk somewhere ahead? Throughout this book, Murphy tries to explain the complexities of Roman culture and how the various factors within this society, contributed to the demise of the empire.…

Introduction At its height, the Roman Empire had a trade network not seen in the ancient world up to that point of time (Carthwright, 2013). Merchants traded products such as grains, oil and wine in tremendous quantities while precious metals and spices were imported at significant levels (Carthwright, 2013). In my learning journal entry for this unit, I will examine how the system of interconnectivity between the local provinces and Rome allowed for an extensive trade system to develop.…

In the beginning of season three of Madmen it highlights the theme of the nineteen sixties. There were a large number of crisis in the economy that makes many changes. For example, the assassination of John F. Kennedy, and the America facilitated the Vietnam War. Furthermore, there were drastic change in the economy. In episode Love Among the Ruin it shows a lot of emphasis of what have occurred during that time period. There are many ruins associated with establishments of businesses, economy…
