Everglade’s national state park is a U.S park that relies in Florida. It was established in December, 6, 1947. It consists of the largest sawgrass prairie in North America. Everglade’s is also known for the largest mangrove ecosystem in the western hemisphere. Also the largest subtropical wilderness in the United States. Other than that Everglade’s has a variety of animals that inhabit in there. That includes Florida panthers, American crocodile and the West Indian manatee. At this attraction…

people what the problems are but never really try to tell us why we are in this position and what we can do from here. Reading these chapters on our ancestors and the reasons why we respond like we do was probably the most interesting to me. All other species took forever to evolve and are still evolving but we did almost all of our evolving almost immediately. From the reading I really want to say that humans really started to change after we learned to farm. When humans just went in large…

Domestication of plants leads to further disturbance of other non-human species. Because plant domestication increases detrimental herbivore activities, humans started to utilize more chemicals. To control the pest population and increase crop yield, humans use chemically charged pesticides and fertilizers. The use of pesticides creates a vicious cycle between the domesticated plants and the herbivores. When farmers use pesticides, farmers are encouraging the pests to be more resilient to the…

9:05-9:55 Anthropology 103 Australopithecus afarensis Named by Donald Johanson & Tim White in 1978 I. Classification Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Class: Mammalia Order: Primates Family: Hominidae Subfamily: Hominidae Genus: Australopithecus Species: A. afarensis II. Physical Characteristics The Australopithecus afarensis without a doubt had both ape and human features. Just looking at the face of this animal you can see a startling resemblance to humans. The way the eyes are set…

has a backbone. After Phylum is Class Mammalia, then Order Carnivora, and then Family Canidae, which includes coyotes, dogs, foxes, jackals, and wolves. After Family, there is the Genus Vulpes, and lastly species vulpes. The species name shows the specific type of the animal. The Genus species name…

put it simply, it is the study of species and all of their respected families. It covers the whole spectrum of animal life all the way down to the plant life and its variety of those species. Without biodiversity, we would all look the same and there would be nothing different. For example, all the different kinds of flowers you like, only one of them would exist because there is no diversity. It all comes into biodiversity is a big chain reaction. Without one species of life, nothing above it…

the concept of chimpanzees and humans evolving from similar ancestry has become an enticing subject and has broadened my mindset. Though, we share many similarities with apes, humans are distinctly different. How is it that a completely different species is made up of almost the exact DNA as you and I? Chimpanzees are the closest living relatives to humans and have an astonishingly similar DNA sequence as well. In fact, less than one percent of the letters that that make up the human genome…

Dottus variegatus. In nature, observations of animals such as insects and predatory birds indicate that predators select against organisms with phenotypes that do not blend in with their environment. In this lab, dots and their colors represent the species Dottus variegatus and the different phenotypes. Depending on the conclusion of the experiment, selection pressure for or against phenotype may improve or prevent reproductive success (fitness) and survival. The hypothesis being tested is that…
