appearance‚ but most importantly there was the catastrophic extinction event of many species near the end of the Quaternary period. The event had a great effect on the species roaming on Earth. The Quaternary extinction event was caused by factors such as global climate fluctuations which pushed many to adaptation and others to extinction. It’s also plausible that hunters contributed to the Quaternary extinction by causing local extinctions. After the last ice age‚ the ecosystem was greatly impacted

Question 1 How significant are mass extinctions to living organisms? Mass extinctions are very important events to the living organism. When mass extinction happens‚ it will create huge impact toward the world‚ negative or positive. For the conservation biologist‚ they usually think this is a great loss. On the other hand‚ from the evolutionary perspective‚ mass extinction could be something good and bad at the same time. Mass extinction would end a lineages and the unique genetic vitiation will

They use the Empire State Building as a platform for their big reveal of the project because of its global profile‚ thus anyone with a cell phone or access to the internet would know about it. I think these are fascinating methods of incorporating image dissemination‚ although somber images will likely not be enough to motivate

Theories For The Extinction of Dinosaurs Theory Evidence They’d been around too long and just ran out of ways to evolve. The dinosaurs were a group of organisms that lasted around 180 million years‚ evidence suggests that these organisms ran out of ways to evolve and as a result could not cope with changing conditions. They were poisoned by the newly evolving plant life which produced chemicals to protect themselves from predation. This theory is plausible as it ties in with the first one‚ as the

Chace Jensen Dr. Butler ENGL 1103 16 January 2012 A Small Extinction‚ A Big Problem Albert Einstein once said‚ “If the bee disappeared off the surface of the globe then man would only have four years of life left. No more bees‚ no more pollination‚ no more plants‚ no more animals‚ no more man” (“Einstein Once Said…”). After careful thought on this matter‚ this can be a scary concept to process.

Genetic drift is a change in allele frequency which can rise or fall over time. Genetic drift lowers genetic variation every generation. The strength genetic

The young teen climbs up the stairs and smiles. Looking down at her phone‚ she doesn’t realize that she just killed a polar bear. She runs back downstairs‚ realizing she left the faucet on‚ and the lights too‚ but it is too late. This is carbon Footprints and climate change are real‚ and this is it. If the climate change keeps changing at this level‚ the polar caps will melt. Even the slightest spike in your carbon footprint can negatively impact the environment.
