Biophysical Ecology and Pattern Recognition Abstract: This study was undertaken to investigate behavioral adaptations of a lizard‚ Lacertilia‚ to its environment. Twelve peeps‚ representing the lizards‚ were placed in a habitat with two microhabitats of different temperatures. Six peeps were placed in one microhabitat‚ and six in the other. The internal temperature of these “lizards” was measured over a period of 20 minutes to see if their body temperatures matched that of their environment and

Population Ecology Ingrid Rhody BIO/101 March 7‚ 213 Kirsten Hagen MS Population Ecology Population ecology is the affect of a populations density and extension. When a group of single species occupy the same general area it is known as a population. This group of species will rely on resources and the same environmental atmosphere. The number of species within a group that occupy the same area or habitat is known as population density. Some ecologists use different types of techniques

Natural resources occur naturally within environments that exist relatively undisturbed by mankind‚ in a natural form. A natural resource is often characterized by amounts of biodiversity and geodiversity existent in various ecosystems. Natural resources are derived from the environment. Many of them are essential for our survival while others are used for satisfying our wants. Natural resources may be further classified in different ways. Methods of Conservation The challenge of conservation
