(2008) admitted that the mesocosm experiment was not a perfect simulation of natural environment. The plausible reasons pointed out by them were the underrepresentation of certain grazer species, reduction of gastropod’s grazing activity and reduction in percentage of cyanobacterial mats. All of the above mentioned reasons could influence experimental result. However, the outcome was well suited to the other experimental results conducted…

family, is a keystone species living in the Pacific Ocean, off the coast of Japan, Russia, America, Canada and Mexico. It’s current population, is estimated to be just over 106,000 worldwide, with just over 3,000 in California. These aquatic mammals are currently under threat of extinction. Through scientific knowledge and understanding of the sea otter, protection laws have been put into place to create for design and action of sustainability of the environment of the keystone species, the…

a walnut, while the shell is broken with its beak.Parrots are birds of the roughly 350 species in 85 genera that make up the order Psittaciformes, found in most warm and tropical regions.

I am swimming to catch my brother, diving as much as we can, a thousand feet to be exact. We’re swimming at a speed of twenty-five miles per hour. Looking left, looking right, our mother is right behind us. Our pod has stopped to catch some food. With the two stomachs we have it 's hard to not be hungry. I sometimes wonder why we have so many teeth if we don’t use them? We swallow our food whole. I can recognize almost every dolphin because our fins are very unique. It helps us identify each…

In history books the act if war is always alluded to as an act constructed by humans. Humanity is the only known species to have ever invented such a mechanism for control. But what is often missed is the fact that humans are a part of the animal kingdom and that us as biological creatures, along with the rest of the animals on the planet, have an innate biological wiring that triggers actions of war and violence. In pieces such as Margaret Mead’s “Warfare: An Invention – Not a Biological…

4.0Chapter four Discussion: 4.1 Point Counts By restraining the recording of species to a 10- 50m fixed radius when in dense forest at kamwala 1 forest, it allows the subtraction the certain bias, such as, the highly vocal forest species; White bellied Go Away bird and Tropical Bulbul, as well as those species which ‘generally’ occur above the canopy (for example; forest raptors). The most widespread species to occur across all the count areas (map 1) were Common Bulbul, Orange ground thrush…

populations of plants and animals. It requires the protection of ecosystems and the biodiversity in these ecosystems.

It is the variety within and between all species of plants, animals and micro-organisms and the ecosystems within which they live and interact.'(Wwf.org.au, n.d.) Every organism plays an important role in their ecosystem and they are all connected in some way which means if the population…
