Anthropogenic habitat fragmentation has affected‚ and will continue to affect the dynamics of populations for most organism types that are subjected to it. From the physical structures we construct for the conveniences of humankind to the deterioration of continuity in our forests and other vast ecosystems that we have exploited to support urbanization and development of land‚ we are changing the ways in which organisms can use the landscapes to which they have evolved. By creating barriers and inhospitable

In Ecological Imperialism: The Biological Expansion of Europe‚ 900-1900 Alfred W. Crosby attempts to explain why Europeans settled most heavily in these temperate zone regions‚ an area he dubs Neo-Europe‚ by emphasizing the biological and ecological elements of European imperialism. This work is a continuation on his earlier book The Columbian Exchange‚ expanding to new areas

PRESENT DAY Habitat and Geographic Location The Orcas can be found in all the world’s oceans. Their location ranges from the equator to both polar regions. Orcas inhabit deep ocean waters and coastal shallows. The northern and southern ranges are limited by pack ice. The orca stays in one area all year‚ and travels within its home range for prey. Some populations migrate toward the equator in the winter and back toward the poles in the summer. The orcas adapt well to any climate‚ however‚ coastal

Abstract This investigation examined the preferred habitat of the prawn Alope spinifrons for the purpose of keeping the prawn in optimum conditions in captivity. The survey took place on shoreline between Matapouri Bay and Wooleys ’ Bay on the Tutukaka Coast. A. spinifrons populations were surveyed‚ water chemistry‚ temperature and depth were noted as well as substrate type and flora and fauna sharing the area. A. spinifrons preferred sheltered rocky areas where there was good water circulation

The Ecological footprint is a method to compute the support to human life from nature and calculate the effect of human on natural environment such as use of resources‚ the consequence of the resource use and balance the demand of resources and supply from the nature (Global Footprint Network‚ 2012). In the 21st century‚ there is the increasing trend of population cause the growing demand of resource. Therefore‚ sustainable resource use is becoming crucial for people who are living currently and
