Rare species

of a community of species on the rocky shore of Te Raekaihou Point. The site data was collected from 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…

Describe how you would perform a random sampling to estimate the size of the population of your species you chose in the Galapagos. Use some actual numbers in your description. Try to base it on real numbers (this may take some research). What underlying assumptions must be made for this technique to be effective? [ /6 marks] Random sampling is a method used by biologists to estimate the size of a population by collecting data as each organism usually can’t be accounted for separately. By using…

of Gonodactylidac and others species which generally their prey on armored animal such as crabs, snails, bivalves and even their species. Size is not an issue to the smasher for example, Gonodactylids stun and crush hard-shield crabs equal to or larger than themselves (Caldwell, 1975). Capabilities of the smashers are also known to kill another member of their species with a single blow. The smasher actually are opposite of the spearers because the smasher species are mobile foragers for…

will differ in what can be suitable for the lizard. 2. There are six abiotic factors that influence where organisms live such as water, light, temperature, pH, salinity, and wind. These factors can affect biomes and the diversity of plant and animal species. Furthermore, water is a key factor in determining where organisms live because, it is essential for survival. For example, in biomes where the water supply is low, plants will be very short or small. Also, there will be a trend in low…

affect genes of a species, which can potentially eliminate animal spread diseases. A gene drive refers to a genetic system that manipulates a gene, guaranteeing all offspring to contain a certain dominant trait. As the trait is dominant it eventually spreads throughout the whole species, allowing them to all contain the manipulated trait. Scientists have designed this in order to eliminate mosquito-transmitted diseases such as malaria and Zika virus, but also to control species invasion. However…

organisms need each other to live. Without interdependence, the whole food web would collapse. Mutualism Mutualism is a symbiotic relationship that is beneficial to both species in the relationship. In some cases, both depend on each other, and need their relationship to survive. In others, both species benefit from the relationship, but do not need it to live. Many mutualistic relationships stand in the world, including multiple in the Chesapeake Bay and other estuaries.…

There are many reasons for collectors to want 20mm toy soldiers to 60mm toy soldiers. If they are building a miniature replica of a famous battle, they would want tiny, historically accurate soldiers for the battle field. Some collectors want to save toy soldiers because the soldiers can be admired and passed down to next generations. Ancient Roman Soldiers Toy Soldiers of San Diego has Ancient Roman Soldiers for those who want 2 1/2 inch tall Roman figures with accurate details. Each package…

The Spillway or City Park: Which has more arthropod diversity? Author: Madeline Lafargue BIOS1071-007 Group Members: Rebecca Ostrowski and Khayla Wright ABSTRACT The purpose of this study is to find out how habitat type affects arthropod diversity. There are many different types of arthropods, making up the majority of animal life on Earth. Arthropods vary among different climates and conditions, including some near water habitats and some habitats without water. The following…

When some people think of dog cages, they think of something that is cruel, but the reality is that these are a great way to give your animals the freedom they need without keeping them inside or really limiting their ability to move around. There are some remarkably large and sturdy kennels that are appropriate for all sizes of animals, and they will provide your animal with a certain level of safety as well as the people on the outside. What Should You Look For? The first thing that you…

Divergent Evolution is the evolutionary pattern in which two species gradually become increasingly different. Adaptive Radiation is a type of evolution where an animal or plant group into a wide variety of types adapted to specialized modes of life. Convergent Evolution takes place when species of different ancestry begin to share similar traits because of a shared habitat. Coevolution is used to describe cases where two, or more, species seem to affect each other's…
