fish fatty acids tagged with fluorescent dyes‚ an approach originally developed in Farber’s lab‚ the researchers were able to directly observe the absorption and transport of fats in live animals. The Rawl’s lab pioneered methods to grow zebrafish larvae in the presence or absence of gut microbes. By combining approaches‚ they determined that one type of bacteria‚ called Firmicutes‚ is instrumental in increasing fat absorption. They also found that the abundance of Firmicutes in the gut was influenced

Insect Collection Tanner Jones Honors Biology 1st period Page 1 American Oil Beetle The American Oil Beetle is a type of Blister Beetle. These beetles are referred to as oil beetles. They are called this because they release oily droplets of hemolymph when they feel threatened.

and the European robin. 3. Lichens are fungi that cover the barks of trees. The colour of lichens look very similar to the pattern of the peppered moth’s wings 4. The larvae of the moth eat leaves from birch‚ willow‚ and oak trees. 5. Since the peppered moth lives less than one year‚ during the winter time‚ the moth larvae changes into pupae to avoid death. 6. Moths with more dark spots than average are called insularia. 7. The first black form of the moth was found near the centre of Manchester

Although we will be focusing on the forensic sciences that typically take place in a crime laboratory‚ there are other types of forensic sciences that are specialized and focused on a particular area. In this section‚ we will briefly take a look at some of these specialty areas. Forensic Pathology/Biology Pathology is a science that deals with disease. Pathologists make use of autopsies to study the tissues and other parts of the human body for diseases. An autopsy is a dissection and examination

“Lymphatic filariasis‚ commonly known as elephantiasis‚ is a painful and profoundly disfiguring disease. While the infection is usually acquired in childhood‚ its visible manifestations occur later in life‚ causing temporary or permanent disability. In endemic countries‚ lymphatic filariasis has a major social and economic impact” (Organization). “The disease is caused by three species of thread-like nematode worms‚ known as filariae – Wuchereria bancrofti‚ Brugia malayi and Brugia timori.
