Stream Study – Ecology and zonation Aim: The aim of this activity is to investigate an aspect of two river ecosystems (Turitea stream and Mangaone stream) and to present a formal report about a presence (or absence) of a pattern. The distributions of invertebrates are compared in both streams for an analysis to be taken out on the distribution of the invertebrates in relation to biotic and abiotic factors. Introduction: The focus of this investigation is to compare the distribution of Mayfly

chose the Urban Ecology Center. I was mainly interested in the field research opportunities as they pertained to my education in Natural Science as well as my own personal passions and interest. The Urban Ecology Center is a community built organization‚ which gives back to the environment‚ educates children on being conscious of the environment as well as provides a public space for any one to come and be a part of the goings on or just hang out and use the facilities.

Ortiz‚ Charity APES Period 2 January 23rd‚ 2013 Chapter 8 - Community Ecology 1. The species of equilibrium model/theory of island biogeography states that there is a balance between two factor which determine the number of different species found on the land: the rate at which new species immigrate and the rate at which existing species become extinct. Native species are those that live and thrive in a particular community. Nonnative species‚ invasive species‚ and alien species are those that

Virtual Ecology Lab: Invasive Species Worksheet Learning Goal: To learn how an invasive species can affect an ecosystem. Prerequisite Knowledge: Before beginning this lab‚ you should be familiar with these concepts: the definition of invasive species the types of interactions that occur between different species in an ecosystem Introduction: Ecosystems are webs of intricately balanced interactions. But what happens when a new species is introduced that uses a disproportionate share of the ecosystem’s

there has been proven data that toxic wastes has seriously affected people’s health‚ inflicting cancer and breathing problems due to long term exposures. In the advent of modern technology‚ man has the influence to create a balance in the ecology in order to sustain his continuous survival. However‚ this has been neglected along the way in the pursuit of technological advancement. Fortunately‚ there are many organizations and non profitable bodies available worldwide to create the awareness

Ecology and Control of the cassava mealybug (Phenacoccus manihoti) Abstract The cassava mealybug is an important pest which can cause a lot of damages to the cassava crop and lead vital problems for the African population. Some methods of control can be used to try to eradicate this pest like classical biological control‚ breeding resistant varieties or cultural control. However‚ the more efficient method to control the mealybug is the biological control with a natural enemy of the pest: a parasitoid

ECOLOGY Ecology is concerned with the study of organisms and their habitats. This includes the interdependence of various populations‚ their impact on each other and their surroundings‚ the effect of the surroundings on their behaviour‚ as well as the ways in which the organisms and the environment change in response to each other. A pond and its inhabitants provide a good example of these interrelationships. A pond contains: a. soil consisting of rock‚ minerals and dead remains of organisms b. water
