Most subterranean ecosystems are characterized by temporal and spatial patchiness of food because of lack of autotrophic production and intermittent allochthonous input (Hervant et.al, 1997; Huppop, 1985).

Therefore, if caves are not…
Stiff jackets brushed past each other under the fluorescent light while soft baaing trickled from the corner of the room. There was not any hay strewn across the ground, nor was there boarded walls with cobwebs in the corner because here at the moment of its birth, this lamb was a scientific miracle. There, lying in its amniotic sac was the first animal clone, Dolly. Her DNA was an exact duplicate to the Finn Dorset ewe from which scientists took cells (Aldridge). While it’d be of interest to…
Fire is a basic human necessity. It's capable of both devastation and sustaining life. With its various uses, fire’s symbolic meaning is difficult to grasp right away.

Attempts to answer life’s questions have led people in many different directions, and the quest for answers has resulted in many different conclusions. As with most humans, Herman Melville struggled with the life’s questions, and he posed his answers as an epic that portrays the profession of whaling as an…
