Glaucus Atlanticus Adaptation
The Glaucus Atlanticus

I wrote about the Glaucus Atlanticus, I will be talking about its adaptations, abilities to survive and, where it can be located. This animal is really interesting because it can be kept as a pet. It has many other names but one is the blue dragon. Although it is called the blue dragon it is a sea slug.

The Glaucus Atlanticus can adapt to a lot of things, here are some of them. The Blue Dragon can adapt to any kind of poison there suis in the world. They can also get used to any water temperature. Whenever they are in danger they camouflage to whatever color is under them. When they are hungry they go to the nearest Blue Bottle Jellyfish, and break it down and eat the stinger.

The Blue Dragon can be found in

    As expected, the control group had a feeding rate between that of the higher and lower light intensities. Buikema (1973) mentions that light intensities that exceed a certain threshold tend to suppress the filtering rate. We theorized that their feeding rate increased in the dark environment because it reflects their natural habitat. Populations of D. magna perform diel vertical migration, which means that they only spend the night in surface layers of the water and migrate downwards into the lower water layers during the day (Dodson, 1990; Haney, 1985). The ultimate cause for this is to protect themselves from predators. The proximal cause is the change in light intensity. D. magna present with photosensitive behaviour and they tend to move into areas of low light (Dodson, 1990). Young et al. (1984) report a decrease in the rate of limb beating when exposed to increased light intensity. The rate of limb beating directly affects the rate of filtration. If there is a decrease in the rate of limb beating then the feeding rate will also…

    This paper will clearly display a diagram of an organism of the student’s choice. This organism will display all of the main structures of the primary organs by labeling. Careful research will exhibit the concepts of natural selection and adaptation. Selected organism will address the proper concepts that apply. Three physiological adaptions were investigated by the student. Upon conclusion of the student’s investigation, knowledge will grant the understanding of how physiological adaptions allow the selected organism to thrive in its ecological niche. The organism that was selected for this essay is the Fish.…

    Parts of their body adapts to being in water like, “Lungs are proportionally much larger than their land based relatives enable them to spend long periods of time under water, from an average of 15-30 minutes to almost two hours,” (Aquarium Of the Pacific - Online Learning Center). That’s one of the adaptations they need so that they can live in the water. They also have adaptations to live on land. This includes, “large belly scales, assist them in moving on land and climbing low hanging tree branches,” (Aquarium Of the Pacific - Online Learning Center). That is how they’re able to move without hurting their bellies, so that they can live in a terrestrial environment. It may seem cool that they have these adaptations, but humans also have them too to survive.…

    Pill Bugs Research Paper

    • 828 Words
    • 4 Pages

    All animals try to adapt to the environment to survive. The real question is why do living organisms react to environmental factors? For example, a chameleon will change colors to hide from predators. Bears hibernate in the winter to conserve energy because of the food shortages. Likewise, pill bugs avoid light and try to make homes in dark, damp environments and eat decaying plant and animal matter. The reason pill bugs prefer dark and damp environments is because they behave negatively to phototaxis, which is the response to light, and have a partially positive behavior towards hydrotaxis, which is the response to moisture. The reason I say partial behavior is because they do not prefer to live in an all-dry habitat, but they also do not find large bodies of water an ideal habitat as well. In this specific scenario, the object of the…

    Animals fight for survival daily, and sometimes their lives depend on their ability to adapt with their surrounding environments. Natural Selection is the process in which individuals have certain traits that allow them to survive and produce more efficiently (Reece et al.456). The animals that inherit these important traits have a higher fitness; therefore, those without the traits have a lower fitness (Reece et al.456). One example of natural selection is the differences between American Alligator and Albino alligator. The American Alligator acquired dark, thick skin due to the swampy, wet marshlands they live in ("American Alligator." Aquatic Community. AC Tropical Fish and Aquarium. Web. 21 Feb 2013.). It has a higher fitness than the Albino Alligator because their pigment not only hides them from predators, but also gives them an upper hand when sneaking up on prey while hunting ("American Alligator." Aquatic Community. AC Tropical Fish and Aquarium. Web. 21 Feb. 2013.). On the other hand, the Albino Alligator has a much lower fitness and is very rare because it does not have the allele that produces the pigment that has dark skin. The white color stands out like a sore thumb in its dark environment ("White alligator is one of the rarest in the world." Telegraph Media Group. 16 Feb 2009: n. page. Web. 21 Feb. 2013.).…

    For animals, being able to adapt in nature is a matter of life and death. Through evolution and natural selection, animals have acquired behavioral and physical traits called adaptations that enable them to acquire food, escape predators and attract mates. The cheetah has the speed necessary to run down its prey, monarchs secrete a poison that deters predators from feasting on it and the hummingbird has a very long tongue for extracting nectar from flowers. These are some of the more obvious adaptations. However, if we take a closer look, we see that all organisms have several adaptations for living and surviving in their environment. The polar bear is a great example of adaptation. This bear is very different from its cousins to the…

    What is Bio 101

    • 476 Words
    • 2 Pages

    Biologists over the years have observed that some species evolve in response to the changes in another. These changes can occur in different levels and in different intensities. Some species exhibit molecular changes such as the structures of macromolecules like proteins or lipids, while others show morphological and behavioural changes in the presence of other organisms. Some evolutionary changes that happen in a species can be a change that is most especially directed towards its adaptation in its relationship with another organism. This evolution that happens in response to the changes in the biotic factors of the ecosystem is called co-evolution. The habits or changes in one organism in an ecological relationship create a pressure that drives changes to another. Therefore, evolutionary changes in organisms due to changes in temperature, water and other abiotic factors are not co-evolution, even if changes happen simultaneously in organisms that are in a specific ecological relationship.…

    Throughout the exhibit I saw many examples of adaptation. Under each unique display, there would be a description on how the organism would live in there habitat. One example talked about their tails, and that some were more flexible and broad, for sudden bursts of speed to attack prey or escape danger. Others would have stiff, sickle shaped tails for endurance on long journeys. Another example of adaptation is the blubber of whales and manatees. In colder these animals climates contain more blubber to keep them insulated from the cold. This exhibit made me realize the significance in adaptations and how important they are in life, without the necessary adaptations, many species could die…
