The Iberian Lynx is an endangered species of lynx located in Southern Spain. They are known for their tawny‚ spotted fur and ‘beard’ like fur covering their lower head. The Iberian Lynx is a highly specialised hunter with several adaptions like their foreshortened skull which increases bite force and aids their ability to catch small prey. Up to 86% of the Lynx’s diet consists of European rabbit. They will also feed on rodents and other small animals such as birds. They hunt mainly at twilight

Introduction The focus of our investigation is to discuss the distribution of CE ( Turbo Smaragda) and NN (Hormasira Banksii) on the rockyshore at Wenderholm considering biotic and abiotic factors that may explain their distribution. Describe the distribution of TWO of these species in the kite graph that appear to show a biotic distribution. The Cat’s Eye are found 14~18m from the HWM AND 22~32m from HWM so they are found in mid and low tide zone and absent from HTZ‚ therefore they are predominantly

Purpose: Analyze graphs to determine the carrying capacity of two marine species. Explain how predation‚ birth‚ and death rates impact population size and carrying capacity of marine populations. Describe how biotic and abiotic factors influence the carrying capacity of marine populations. Research: Prey initial size- 25 Prey birth rate- 0.05 Predator initial size- 25 Predator death rate- 0.05 Capture efficiency- 0.005 Hypothesis: If the starting population of the prey is higher than

In every chemical reaction‚ the starting materials (the substrate(s) in the case of enzymes) can take many different paths to forming products. For each path‚ there is an intermediate or transitional product between reactants and

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 nymphs
