What is Marine Ecology? Marine Ecology is the scientific study of marine-life habitat‚ populations‚ and interactions among organisms and the surrounding environment including their abiotic (non-living physical and chemical factors that affect the ability of organisms to survive and reproduce) and biotic factors (living things or the materials that directly or indirectly affect an organism in its environment). Marine ecology is a subset of the study of marine biology and includes observations at

At the beginning of the lab‚ I sorted the lizards based on what color of skin color they had either brown or green since it was the most distinguishable at the time. However‚ I revised my groups later based on size of the anoles’ legs since each of the different anoles had evolved based on their habitat. By grouping based on tail length‚ it was easier to distinguish the differences after measuring hind lengths‚ tails and toe pads. Therefore‚ my new groups were long tails‚ long legs‚ short legs and

litter in the Solebury woods Introduction: We are trying to compare the biodiversity of leaf litter invertebrates in forested areas on each side of the horseshoe trail on Solebury School’s campus. Each area has significantly different ecological histories. Leaf litter invertebrates are essential to the forests wood web. At the base off the food web are the main producers which would be trees or shrubbery. Then there are the primary consumers that eat the trees and shrubbery. Next

evolution by natural selection suggest that the physical environment exerts selective pressure upon adaptive characteristics‚ which are traits that increase the survival potential of an individual because they enable them to better adapt to their ecological niche. The adaptive traits are genetically transmitted (inherited) because the individual survives to reproduce and this is known as ’survival of the fittest’‚ where fitness is measured by the number of genes present in the next generation. However

general intractability of adult wolves to human handling has led certain experts to theorise that the domestication process occurred through natural selection‚ when Mesolithic human communities began building permanent settlements in which a new ecological niche (middens and landfills) was opened to wolves. These wolves would have formed a commensal relationship with humans‚ feeding on their waste over many generations‚ with natural selection favouring assertive wolves with shorter flight distances in
