approximately 1’ x 1.5’‚ with approximately 75-80 shallow holes randomly drilled into one flat face. The randomly situated holes impeded the predator’s ability to forage in a systematic and planned manner. The prey used in this particular experiment consisted of split peas and navy beans‚ which were randomly placed into the holes of the foraging board. Stopwatches were used to time the forager during different experimental foraging bouts. The predator (an ecology student)‚ would have to forage with their

Section B. Is local diversity a product of regional forces‚ local forces‚ or both‚ and how might we know? In ecology‚ the change in species diversity across space and time is one of the oldest studied subjects‚ however the underlying causes of many diversity patterns is under much debate (Field et al. 2001; MacArthur‚ 1972; Rosenzweig‚ 1995). How does diversity arise (Erwin 1991)? How is diversity distributed in space (Dean et al. 1997‚ Fonseca et al. 2000)? And how is diversity maintained

Biology‚ Phylogeny‚ and Ecology of the Stomatopoda Stomatopods‚ also known as mantis shrimp‚ are an ancient group of marine arthropods that belong to the class Stomatopoda. There are approximately 350 species of stomatopods that have been discovered to date‚ ranging in size from 1 to 30 cm. (Caldwell 1975) Stomatopods are a group of crustaceans that belong to the class Malacostraca‚ along with familiar crustaceans such as crabs‚ lobsters‚ and shrimp. The malacostracans are defined by their unique

Extinction and Evolution Ecology helps us understand the importance of mass extinction in evolution‚ and it also helps us understand some of the causes of extinction. Ecological niche is one of the most important concepts to understand. An animal or plant lives in a certain place is active at a particular times‚ and eats certain things; all these factors describe its ecological niche. Our environment is parted into millions of ecological niches‚ each that represents a probable home for life

This distinguishes euthanasia from most other forms of taking life. Classification of euthanasia
