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

Ecology corrections D1 – Ecosystems Forest ecosystem – the amazon A forest ecosystem is the community formed by plants and animals of this particular environment that interact with the chemical and physical features of the environment in which they live. The amazon rain forest is an example of a forest ecosystem. The amazon is a vast region that spans across many rapidly developing countries such as Brazil‚ Bolivia‚ Peru‚ Ecuador‚ Colombia‚ Venezuela‚ Guyana‚ Suriname‚ and French Guiana. The

Lab #5: Refraction of Light Theory: Refraction can be defined as the bending of a wave when it enters a medium which causes it to have some reduced speed. In terms of light‚ refraction occurs when the ray passes through some medium which slows its speed; such as water or glass. In this instance the ray tends to bend towards the normal of the medium. The amount of bending or refraction which occurs can be calculated using Snell’s Law (). Objective: To measure the index of refraction of Lucite

Marine Ecology Final Exam Review Difference between broadcast spawners‚ brooders‚ direct developers‚ lecithotrophic and planktotrophic larvae * Many marine organisms have a dispersal phase in their life history * Dispersal can occur as eggs‚ sperms‚ fertilized eggs‚ larvae‚ juveniles or adults * Many species only disperse as juveniles or adults * Other species take advantage of high density of water to disperse during very early life stages: eggs/sperm/fertilized eggs/larvae

between ecosystem and ecology? Ecosystem is the physical system (an open system) in which the mutual interaction between biotic and aboitic component motored by the energy component is studied. While the Ecology is the science which study the interrelation between Abiotic (inorganic) and Biotic (organic) components as well as the interaction among the biotic component. To make it more clear‚ ecosystem is the fundamental unit of ecological study. Ecology vs Ecosystem Ecology and ecosystem are

It is a terrible yet bittersweet coincidence that I am writing a response to Timothy Morton’s “Queer Ecology” as my friends and family in the Philippines are being besieged by yet another tropical cyclone. Terrible because I feel guilty sitting cozily in front of my screen while halfway around the world hundreds of thousands of Filipinos who live in areas at risk of flash floods‚ landslides and storm surges are struggling to be evacuated as Ruby (the misleadingly sweet name the cyclone has been baptized
