Biophysical Ecology and Pattern Recognition Abstract: This study was undertaken to investigate behavioral adaptations of a lizard‚ Lacertilia‚ to its environment. Twelve peeps‚ representing the lizards‚ were placed in a habitat with two microhabitats of different temperatures. Six peeps were placed in one microhabitat‚ and six in the other. The internal temperature of these “lizards” was measured over a period of 20 minutes to see if their body temperatures matched that of their environment and

Population Ecology Ingrid Rhody BIO/101 March 7‚ 213 Kirsten Hagen MS Population Ecology Population ecology is the affect of a populations density and extension. When a group of single species occupy the same general area it is known as a population. This group of species will rely on resources and the same environmental atmosphere. The number of species within a group that occupy the same area or habitat is known as population density. Some ecologists use different types of techniques
