on average‚ is only about 2 feet in length‚ and weighs up to 35 pounds. This is surprising‚ due to the honey badgers massive appetite. The diet of a honey badger is very broad. They are solitary hunters‚ and eat everything from small rodents‚ insects‚ and frogs‚ to cobras‚ monitor lizards‚ even animal carcasses. But what is astonishing is the lengths this animal is willing to go to in order to get food. Reports in India‚ dating back before 1941‚ have documentation stating that honey badgers have

led the bats to starvation‚ dehydration‚ and consequently‚ death. If bats were to go extinct‚ predators would starve during the winter months that were reserved to the easy prey and food source. Farm fields would evidently see a high increase in insects messing up their system. The ultimate death of coral reefs was due to ocean acidification‚ which altered the corals’ saturation levels drastically. There are many proximate causes that led to the continuing extinction of coral reefs such as overfishing

PEPPERED MOTH SIMULATION LAB SANTIAGO JACOME THE VICTORIA SCHOOL BIOLOGY SL Data and Analysis Life Cycle of the Peppered Moth: Because their light wings are peppered with small dark spots. Predators of the peppered moth are flycatchers‚ nuthatches and the European robin. Larvae feed on the leaves of birch‚ willow‚ and oak trees. They change into pupae (cocoons) for the winter. They are given the name of carbonaria when black spots are present. Impact of Pollution: Near the centre of Manchester

become a world-wide effort. You can‚ however‚ start on your own because every hive counts. Another solution would be to avoid spraying pesticides on plants that bees consider desirable. If bees are attracted to a certain crop that we spray to keep insects from destroying‚ then the bees will carry the pesticide back to the hive‚ should they survive the poison. If we avoid spraying in areas that bees pollinate frequently we could combat the severe losses we see on a yearly basis. The last thing that

Butterfly Effect By: Aeia Being a child can be considered as the best stage of a person’s life. Why? Because‚ you can smile without worries‚ you can laugh without problems‚ and you can dream as like as fantasies that have no ending.

Like a caterpillar‚ they never stay being a caterpillar they get out on their cocoon and later spread their wings to become a beautiful butterfly. But along their metamorphosis‚ they

A new federal report blames a combination of problems for a mysterious and dramatic disappearance of U.S. honeybees since 2006. The intertwined factors cited include a parasitic mite‚ multiple viruses‚ bacteria‚ poor nutrition‚ genetics‚ habitat loss and pesticides. The multiple causes make it harder to do something about what’s called colony collapse disorder‚ experts say. The disorder has caused as much as one-third of the nation’s bees to just disappear each winter since 2006. Bees‚ especially

Imagine a world without crops like apples‚ coffee‚ broccoli‚ and cocoa. We consume these products often‚ and just expect them to always be around. A world without bees is a world without these crops and many‚ many more because they are our main pollinators. When people eat a meal‚ not much thought goes into how that food is produced. Bees play a part in the production of one-third of all the food we eat. The harsh reality is that honey bees are dying and rapidly. Researchers have been scrambling

Drosophila melanogaster is a fruit fly‚ about 3mm in length‚ and it is the insect that flies around spoiled fruit. A model organism has these traits: short life cycles and rapid development‚ small average size‚ big population‚ and fast reproduction (NCBI). Drosophila melanogaster meet all of the criteria for being a model organism. Also‚ fruit flies were used because they are very easy to handle and they require minimal resources to survive‚ as opposed to other organisms that might need more food
