The Horseshoe Crab‚ scientifically named Limulus Polyphemus‚ is an ancient creature that not many people know much about. The Horseshoe Crab is part of the Limulidae family‚ which is the marine arthropods. The Horseshoe Crab’s closest relatives are Trilobites back from the Paleozoic which is coincidently when the Horseshoe crab first began to develop. (Reference 2) In modern times the Horseshoe crab is not labelled as a crustacean despite its name. The Horseshoe Crab is closely related chelicerates

Army Ants | | | | | | There are over 200 known species of army ant‚ divided into New World and Old World types. All are members of the true ant family Formicidae. New World army ants belong to the subfamily Ecitoninae. This subfamily is further broken into two groups‚ Cheliomyrmex and the Ecitonini. The Ecitonini group contains three genera‚ Neivamyrmex‚ Nomamyrmex‚ Labidus‚ and Eciton‚ the genus after which the group is named (Brady‚ 2003‚ Tree of Life). The most predominant species

Lastly‚ the idea of connectivity proposes that ecosystems are made up of biological (predation‚ completion and mutualism) and physiochemical (limiting influences of water‚ temperature and nutrients) interactions where one species can potentially influence many other
