other animals relied on it. This made it a keystone species. The bottlenose dolphin is a predator and prey. The great white shark feeds off of the bottlenose dolphin. The dolphin eats crabs, mackerel fish, and shrimp. The crabs eat phytoplankton and seagrass. The mackerel fish just eats phytoplankton. The crab eats algae, kelp and phytoplankton. This evidence supports the claim that I made because by taking out those dolphins the seas would be overpopulated by the shrimp, fish, and crabs.…

Seagrasses are monocot flowering plants that also have stems, leaves, and roots. They can form meadows underwater that are big enough and dense enough to be seen from space. They also serve an ecological function as shelter, like the kelp. Seagrass meadows can have rich biodiversity and thriving ecosystems. Some species also eat the seagrasses. Seagrasses evolved from algae to land plants, then back to water plants, giving them many of the same properties as normal plants. They are thought…

In Robert Kolker’s Lost Girls a large portion of the story relies on Kolker’s attention to detail. Because of the nature of murder investigations, Kolker must be careful in his interpretation of police reports.

This is exactly what is happening not only to the pacific seahorse, but to all forty-seven species of seahorse that roam the oceans around the world. From phony medicinal treatments to expensive jewelry, a human’s use of a seahorse is completely unnecessary. Their habitat, predators, prey, life cycle, reproduction, and the human impact influence the way this species…

“ I couldn’t possibly write Jaws today at least, not in a good conscience anyway,” said Peter Benchley, the author of Jaws. On the other hand, all sharks are different from each other, just like the saying “no two snowflakes are the same” I think it’s the same with sharks no two sharks are the same. However, sharks make me think because they all have their own different identities and none are exactly the same and I wish to have a baby shark sometime in my lifetime. Better yet, I would want a…
