Liza Handler Experiment Background: Squid is a keystone species‚ negative effects on them can have major consequences down the line. Nearly all of the animals in the oceans ecosystems either eat squid‚ or are eaten by squid. Squids not only have a vital role in our Oceans ecological community‚ but they also are important economically. Squid is a main source of food for the tuna and hake‚ two major commercially important fish. In 2011‚ fisherman harvested a total of $100 million worth of squid

Darwin founded a new branch of life science‚ evolutionary biology. Four of his contributions to evolutionary biology are especially important‚ as they held considerable sway beyond that discipline. The first is the nonconstancy of species‚ or the modern conception of evolution itself. The second is the notion of branching evolution‚ implying the common descent of all species of living things on earth from a single unique origin. Many people are familiar with how Darwin came up with the theory of

Growing up on an island surrounded by water‚ it was hard to resist the temptations of the ocean. I was vicariously watching the older crew who were pretty gregarious bodyboarders ‚ but as me and my friends grew older we got dexterous with bodyboarding. Our little crew was always trying to one up each other‚ we were pretty ostentatious when it came to that kind of stuff. We would always go out on the optimal days for bodyboarding‚ but some days we would just go out to facetious time. We would also

I am writing to you today‚ asking if you would join me in trying to reduce pollution in the United States of America in 2017. Pollution is incredibly harmful to the environment‚ world‚ climate‚ and even space. Pollution damages our atmosphere which then creates acid rain and toxins in the air. The 2015 "State of the Air" report finds 52 percent of Americans live in counties with unhealthy levels of air pollution. Pollution starts with littering which can harm many things depending on where litter

In Bio 205‚ we discussed how all species have specific adaptations that help them live and survive in their environments. In class‚ we discussed owls and their different adaptations that help them survive and catch their food. We learned about the structure of their eyes‚ ears‚ and feathers that further benefits their ability to survive. We also learned about how they catch their prey and digest it. Owls have very many complex adaptations that help them survive in their environments‚ and the children’s

Sea Slugs Experiment A. These sea slugs were analyzed in an intertidal habitat in the coastal waters of Puerto Rico and the data about the distribution of these organisms were reflected upon a table‚ showing the different times of day and how far the distribution seemed to be. I had graphed this table as to clearly see the distribution of the sea slugs throughout the day. It reflects that during the day time Sea Slugs disperse more freely. However‚ during the night they gather together and

Awaking from a soothing slumber‚ Mariota slowly opened her eyes. As her eyes slowly adjusted to the sparkling blue hue that was above her‚ she was immediately hit with fear and confusion when she looked down at herself and saw that her long legs were replaced with a long blue mermaid tail. Mariota instantly sat up from the rock she had been laying on to check out her surroundings. All she saw was colorful coral reefs surrounding her‚ until she saw the top of a woman’s head who appeared to be peering

Attention‚ have you heard that millions of people travel to popular beaches throughout the world‚ but some people don’t realize that the oceans are becoming more damaged? People don’t realize that the ocean is suffering from‚ pollution‚ overfishing‚ plastic‚ garbage‚ etc. Not a lot of people notice this is happening to the oceans.

Mother Natures Sophistication Tops a Man Made Failure What makes a beer a good beer? Just the taste? If that were true these two ads wouldn’t convey their message the way they do. What matters to many‚ is the kind of time they think they’ll have while drinking beer.

Loggerheads also modify habitats as a result of their foraging activities. The fragments of hard-shelled organisms that loggerheads consume are either discarded or ingested and later deposited with feces at a different location. By reducing the particle size of the shells‚ loggerhead turtles contribute to nutrient recycling in benthic ecosystems by increasing the rate of shell disintegration. Additionally‚ a foraging behavior called infaunal mining has a significant effect on substrate characteristics
