Chemical Elements such as carbon and Nitrogen are cycled among abiotic and biotic components of the ecosystem. Photosynthetic organisms assimilate these elements in inorganic form from the air‚ soil‚ and water and incorporate them into their biomass‚ some of which is consumed by animals. Both energy and matter are transformed in ecosystems throught

Rodent Interaction Lab Introduction In an experiment‚ adult female hamsters were exposed to both a conspecific male and a heterospecific male through wire-mesh barriers for 8 days‚ and then paired sequentially with the two males. It was found that female hamsters can learn during adulthood to avoid interspecific mating just by being exposed to stimuli from heterospecific males‚ (delBarco-Trillo et. al.‚ 2010).
