Predator

Part E (Identify the apex predator/s) In the movie ‘Finding Nemo’, the creators payed close attention to detail regarding how the food webs are formed in ecosystem of the Great Barrier Reef. At the top of the food web are the apex predators: the predators that aren’t prey to any other organism. These animals in the foo web that I have created are the Anglerfish, Great White Shark, and Barracuda. In reality, there are other animals that would probably eat these animals, but in my food web, they…

must be met (Grubbs et al.). The following requirements in order to confirm a trophic cascade is occurring are, a temporal correlation of abundance trends, spatiotemporal overlap, prey growth rapid compared to predator, prey being a significant attribute to the predator’s diet, and predator primary source of predation mortality (Grubbs et al.). Without these benchmarks, the situation cannot be considered a trophic cascade (Grubbs et al.). Not looking over these requirements can lead to the…

scientist use. One is called bottom-up and the other is top-down. The controller of top-down would be the top predator or the apex predator (Wallach and O’Neill, 2009). The apex predator can also be known as the keystone species in that ecosystem. Top-down control is when the apex predator regulates the structure and population of the ecosystem (Wallach and O’Neill, 2009). The apex predators will prey on the consumers, which keeps the consumers population in control so that the producers can…

One of the many definitions of a predator is an animal that lives by killing and eating other animals, or an animal that preys on other animals. Better yet, one that preys, destroys, and devours. According to Encyclopedia Britannica, predation is the pursuit, capture, and killing of animals for food. Excluding Homo sapiens, the animal kingdom has species considered to be top predators in the aquatic, terrestrial, and aerial territory. For instance, the massive great white shark is probably the…

Are Parents Really Aware of What Internet Predators Are? As the internet and social media have made our lives easier, it has also become an easy way for child predators to get in touch with kids. Parents are aware that there are many predators on the internet, but are unaware of how cyber-predators look for kids ages from elementary school to high school. Predators can come in diverse forms and have different intentions than other predators. Predators at the least can look for vulnerable…

Predators affect the size in population . The population can either decrease or increase. If the population number increases then that means that the number of preys are high. The point of this lab is to figure out the factors of the stability and the unstability. The size of a predator population and prey population goes in a cycle over time. When the population of the predator-prey results in both Predator and Prey still living over time is known as stable. A predator-prey that has died as…

Animal’s Capabilities In Bonnie Steinbock’s “Speciesism and the Idea of Equality” she provides arguments against those of Peter Singers in his article “All Animals are Equal.” Steinbock argues that non-human animals should have specifics rights. She didn’t go as far as saying that they should have the right to vote or marry, but the right to be recognized as coherent beings just as capable of suffering and feeling as we are. The way that I see it, Steinbock provides some valid points but fails…

Wolves does not naturally have any regular predators; they are considered apex predators. Apex predators are very important in an ecosystem because they help the ecosystem to stay biodiverse. For example, wolves which are apex predators, they eat on the elks that would normally feed on the willows. Consequentially, the elimination of wolves was seen as an object of concern because now that…

Pew Research Center found that 92% of kids go online constantly and about 500,000 predators are online daily. Teens and children are using the Internet more often now and some don’t know about the risks of meeting people online. Predators know when kids will be online and connected throughout the day. The perpetrators might stalk the child and try to find out more information about them. They think they’re safe behind their electronic screens, but truth is, they aren’t okay at all. Kids might…
