Choice of the Poecilia Reticulata ABSTRACT We documented the habitat preference in the species of fish named Poecilia reticulate‚ also known as guppies‚ to determine if there would be a difference in swimming performance and other distinguished behavior patterns. A species habitat plays the key role in its life; it’s a determinant in its sexual selection‚ distribution and overall behavior. Guppies that are in their natural habitats must adapt to outside threats of predation‚ drought and other variables

learn about the thermoregulation‚ and more specifically ectotherms. The experiment was designed to learn how ectotherms rely on external temperature for heat. The hypothesis of the experiment was whether there was temperature variance between two habitats‚ and how it affects the ectotherms. To test the hypothesis‚ we used I-buttons to record the temperature and ANOVA test for p-value. The results supported the hypothesis. Introduction: Thermoregulation is a process that allows your body to maintain

Bio 10 11 September 2015 Biodiversity Writing Assignment California Red- Legged Frog The California red- legged frog (Rana draytonii) was the threatened species and was found in the western United States. More than seventy percent of California red- legged frogs have been eliminated from their former extent. Nowadays‚ this breed is still popular in the Bay area but isn’t much like before (USFWS 2002). In nature‚ California red- legged frogs are 1.5 to 5 inches in length. Adult females

4. Rocky Shore Habitat Background Information: Lime Cay‚ the man islet of the Port Royal Cays‚ located 17 degrees north and 76 degrees west‚ is one of the many cays in Jamaica. By definition‚ a cay is a small low elevated sandy island formed on the surface of a coral reef. These types of islands are usually found in the Caribbean Sea‚ Pacific‚ Indian and Atlantic Ocean. Also they are circular in shape. A cay is home to many different species due to the formation of habitats such as the rocky

When I found the habitat for the common chimpanzee it looked very well suited for them. The habitat inside had features of what resembled somewhat like a savannah; however‚ the habitat that was built for the outdoors resembled that of a forest. When observing the common chimpanzee I was looking at weather or not the spine is stiff. Their spines

gathering information on a specific area or group of people and doing research on their well being and physical health. This research can help identify trends pertaining to disease among people and whether or not such diseases are related to the habitat in which they live. These studies help to inform policy decisions and evidence-based medicine by identifying risk factors for disease and targets for preventative medicine.

There are many ways that the Craniates and the Arthropods have adapted their bodies and their lives to be able to leave their aquatic habitats and live on land. There are many adaptations that happen both on the outside and the inside of the animal that make it possible for life outside of the water. In the Craniates‚ anything from the cranium‚ notochord‚ endoskeleton‚ central nervous system‚ brain‚ lungs and gill slits‚ and the ability to maintain their body temperature in the inside and the well-developed
