The species richness is when we talk about the actual number of species in a community. For example‚ if you go to a bottom ground forest you might see only sugar maple. Therefore‚ the species richness is only 1. Shannon Index measures species diversity too‚ but takes into account species evenness. Species evenness is when the relative abundance of the species in that community are more similar to each other. So by knowing that you have more similar species‚ this allows you to more accurately determine

OMG! How GMO’s Affect Our Lives For the past few decades‚ genetically modified organisms (GMOs) have substituted our diet with genetically transformed foods‚ which have negatively affected human health as well as the surrounding local communities. Being unaffected by pesticides‚ genetically modified organisms are produced by the merging genes of different species that are joined through genetic engineering‚ something that would be intolerable to Mother Nature herself (The Non-GMO Project).

LIFE HISTORY: Unmated adults overwinter in plant debris‚ crevices of fences and buildings‚ and other protected sites around woodlands‚ gardens and agricultural fields. They become active at temperatures above 50 °F and begin to mate in the spring. Eggs hatch in 7-10 days and larvae take about 15 days to complete development to the pupae stage. Pupae live about 7 days before becoming adults. In east central Utah‚ two summer generations of adults occur. DAMAGE: Both adults and larvae of the striped

Botany of Desire Name Institutional Affiliations In the Botany of Desire by Michael Pollan‚ emphases on how mankind has taken his position in trying to influence and control nature through technology such as genetic engineering. The purpose of this is to satisfy his desire for perfection by controlling the seeds of plants such as apples and potatoes. It appears that Pollan has a vivid imagination on plant-human interaction‚ when he writes the book. He thoroughly examines the connection of

Thalassia and Thalassodendron) are distributed in tropical seas (L. Kannan‚ T. Thangaradjou). They grow and reproduce sexually being continuously submerged under water. They do not require contact with air‚ and the reproductive cycle with flowering and pollination is completed under water. Seagrasses have a number of adaptations to the submerged life form (Borum et al‚ 2004). Thalassia hemprichii is common on mud-coral-sand or coarse coral-sand substrates‚ in sheltered habitats in the Philippines. The plant

Plants are genetically engineered to be resistant to herbicides‚ produce their own pesticides‚ have viral resistance‚ and to convert nitrogen directly from the soil. But these transgenes can insert into the genetics of relatives through cross-pollination‚ creating superweeds resistant to herbicides‚ pests and viruses. This may increase pest’s immunities and antibiotic resistances‚ transfer of pathogenic genes‚ the creation of new viruses‚ and introduce allergens into the food supply. Worse‚ these

photosynthesis‚ the leaves use light energy to change carbon dioxide and water into food. (sugar) Flowers: These are the reproductive parts of a plant. Flower petals and the flowers smell attract insects and bees to pollinate the flower. After pollination‚ the petals fall off and seeds develop in the part of a flower called the ovary. The ovary itself usually becomes what we call the fruit. Stems: These support the upper parts of plants. Water and dissolved nutrients from the soil travel up
