Final Paper: Endangered Species Paper The Panamanian Spider Monkey I have always been extremely interested in and moved by the scores of endangered species out there. Whether they are plants or animals‚ I have always been an advocate for the wild life in need. It took hours to pick which specific species I wanted to focus on for this particular project‚ but after much research and a personal connection‚ I chose the Panamanian Spider Monkey. Ever since I was a little girl I have had a special

Chapter 2 Variation Under Nature In the book‚ The Origin of Species‚ by Charles Darwin‚ he explains variation under nature‚ examining if the variety in species in nature can be possibly similar to the variety in domesticated species. Charles Darwin said‚ “The term “variety” is almost difficult to define; but here community of descent is almost universally implied‚ though it can rarely be proved.” He explains how people use the word monstrosities which he presumes is meant some considerable

BIODIVERSTY the term "biodiversty" has been derived from ’bio’ and ’diversity’."Diversity" means variety within a species and among species.Biodiversity is a measure of the variety of organisms present in different ecosystem. Diversity of plants and animals the diversity of plants ’(flora) and animals’(fauna)’ ia region depends on climate‚altitude‚soils and the presence of other species.it is the richest in the tropics. biodiversity found on earth today is the result of 4billion years of

marshland plant and animal species. The Everglades which are a national park‚ are often thought of " a rather unpleasant place: creepy and shadowy‚ muddy‚ overrun with snakes and insect." They are also thought of as irrelevant and not important. This is actually false‚ The Everglades are a valuable and productive ecosystem that fulfill an essential function for both humans and wildlife. Let me inform you on the values of The Everglades. The Everglades are home to many species. The word commonly used

Reproductive Isolating Mechanisms In the 1940s‚ Ernst Mayr coined the term Biological Species Concept that was subsequently widely embraced by the scientific community. The definition stated that "Species are groups of actually or potentially interbreeding natural populations that are reproductively isolated from other such groups". Certain mechanisms are in place to prevent species from interbreeding with others and these are referred to as reproductive isolating mechanisms‚ which are biological

passed on unaltered for many generations. The gene pool is the set of all genes in a species or population. The modern theory of evolution is easy to understand. It can be summarized in a single but slight long sentence: Life on earth evolved step by step with one primitive species or molecule that lived more than 3.5 billion years ago; it than spread out in different kinds of living organisms and made new species; and the mechanism for most of the evolutionary change is natural selection.

Neanderthal being the last species just before the Homo sapiens. As such‚ they are believed to be very close relatives to Homo sapiens. They are believed to have existed between 200‚000 – 30‚000 years ago (Andrea‚ Alfred J et al. p. 173). This species is said to bear several characteristics which are similar to the modern man due to their closeness chronologically. In fact‚ some evidence claims that the Neanderthal species is a subspecies of the Homo sapiens. As the human species evolved‚ their characteristics
