Eugenie Clark entered the male dominated world of marine biology. In the early 1940s, she participated in her first underwater dive. Shortly after, she carried out several more and the Navy presented her the invitation to study in the Southern Seas. While in this region, she viewed over three hundred unique species of fish, which were basically nonexistent during this time. Only after a few years, Clark journeyed hundreds of feet beneath the ocean’s surface to examine sleeping sharks that were…

For instance, the lobster paper is much lengthier than the whale shark paper. The whale shark paper also looks more like an article than the lobster paper does. The lobster paper is clearly broken up into different sections, including the abstract, introduction, materials and methods, results, discussion, and conclusions. However, the whale shark paper is not broken up into these sections. The fact that the whale shark paper is in condensed format makes it harder to find where the hypothesis…

Musculus means “little mouse” in Latin, however, Carl Linnaeus, the man who…
