long island sound. The end goal of this experiment is to see what long term effect of having this invasive crab could have on other organisms in the tides, more specifically littorina littorea (periwinkle snails). This would be achieved by studying the interaction between Asian crabs, periwinkle snail, fucus and ulva. Introduction Hemigraspus sanguineus by large possesses the subtidal and intertidal rough shoreline, with a checked inclination for cobble shorelines. It has additionally been…

susceptible to invaders which degrade lake habitats and food webs. The Chinese mystery snail (Bellamya chinensis), referred to as Bellamya, is an understudied invasive species that is becoming more abundant in the fresh water lakes of North America and poses a threat to the ecological community of the Great Lakes. Understanding how Bellamya can effect lake ecology is critical to preventing the possible extinction of native snail species and the degradation of lake habitats. A study conducted by…

Which involves a large quantity of sea snails, land snails, and some freshwater snails. The snails within the clade Littorinimorpha include both herbivores and carnivores. Snails use a siphon within their shell to bring water in and out of there shell to determine what is nearby them and if it is safe (Seashells, 2017). The most prevalent littorinimorpha marine…

An ecosystem is complex set of relationships among the living resources, habitats, and residents of an area. It is a biological community that incorporates human, animals, plants, soil, water, rocks, and microorganisms living together in a environment. Ecosystem includes both biotic and abiotic factors. Biotic factors include all of the living things such as plants, animals, bacteria, fungi and humans living in an area. The interactions between them such as competition, predation, mutualism and…

the food chain. But as we know crabs do have an ability to see and can move very fast. Periwinkles cannot see and a very slow respectfully. How is it that periwinkles are one of the most abundant creatures in the estuary? Periwinkle and all sea snails have a sense that we don’t have called the Chemoreceptor. The chemoreceptor is transduces a chemical in the water and stimulates a potential reaction based on something in the current environment. Periwinkles can detect the faint amount of…

thought this would be the case for aquarium #1 because it contained only gravel and no living organisms. In Aquarium #2 that contained gravel and snails only, we predicted that the level of carbon dioxide would increase and the level of oxygen would decrease. We thought this would be the case because this aquarium contains gravel and snails, and snails need more cellular respiration than photosynthesis. In aquarium #3 that contained gravel and plants only, we predicted that the level of carbon…

common garden snails, about a pound of them. They’d remove the shells and slit the snails, then put them in a bag with a half pound of sugar. Under the bag they’d place a basin to collect the syrup from the snails as they gradually dissolved from the sugar and dripped through the bag. This mucilaginous essence of the snail was then used for a variety of maladies: internally for gastrointestinal ulcers, coughs, sore throat and externally for burns and wounds. Medieval ladies collected snail…

used a variety of study methods to establish the different causes of the illegal trade of sea snails. Some of their methods included observations and in-depth interviews. Observing these poachers helped allow the researchers to “experience and then analyze the behaviors and interactions of the subjects of the study” (Warchol and Harington, 2016, p.29). In their findings, they discovered that sea snails were considered…

Cost of safe water through sanitation, piping the water. Also drugs to treat the disease. Cultural habits such as avoiding water. Lakes and rivers are the way of life for the people affected from this disease. Snail control is another challenge such as reintroducing the snail’s top predator, but this could lead to ecosystem downfall. Another challenge is widespread drug treatment will this lead to drug resistance forms of Schistosomiasis. Name and explain…

There have been several movies with the same genre where the protagonist is not always the victor, especially when it comes to film scenes that involve racing. I chose the title, “It is not Worth Giving Up When it Comes to Racing,” because in these movie scenes the protagonist does not win a particular car race. After losing the race they realize that it is not over. They realize that one loss is just the beginning to a great new start in their lives. The film scenes being compared…
