Absolutely not. In today’s world‚ zoos are nothing short of essential. Their main function is conservation. Without captive breeding‚ many endangered species would now be extinct - for example‚ the golden lion tamarin‚ red wolf and Przewalski’s horse. I am not for a moment suggesting that we should stop trying to protect animals’ natural habitats‚ but if endangered species were to become extinct in the wild (which sadly seems quite likely in the near future)‚ zoos will have preserved them for future

and gorillas. But the brains of chimps and humans differ in size and anatomy more than gorillas and chimps. The brains of chimps and gorillas probably didn’t go through many evolutionary innovations‚ because they generally resemble other ape and monkey brains. This implies that the human brain changed a lot after the human/chimp evolution. With the exception of the olferactory bulb (scent)‚ all brain structures are larger in humans than in apes.

a deeper throat than the flowers exploited by the butterfly species in its original range. The average length of the proboscis that is used to suck nectar from flowers is also greater in butterflies that inhabit the new area. The butterfly collector makes a very valid hypothesis saying that the butterflies have adapted and evolved to their surroundings by having longer proboscis. Evolution plays a key role in how animals survive‚ change and evolve according to their surroundings. It is no surprise

as their modified lip. Other common modifications enable particular insects to collect liquid food with long‚ coiled tubes or spongelike structures. The saliva wets and partially liquefies the food so it can be sponged up into the mouth. The long proboscis in siphoning type of insect was adapted for the sucking up of nectar from a flower. Identification of mouthparts is a key to correct diagnosis of insect damage‚ which in turn is critical to selecting correct control tactics. If the insect is a sucking

A bumblebee is any member of the bee genus Bombus‚ in the family Apidae. There are over 250 known species‚[1] existing primarily in the Northern Hemisphere although they also occur in South America. They have been introduced to New Zealand and the Australian state of Tasmania. Bumblebees are social insects that are characterised by black and yellow body hairs‚ often in bands.

Early studies on coexistence of bumblebees indicate that differences in the proboscis lengths of the species lead to resource partitioning by utilizing floral in different ways (Heinrich 1976‚ Ranta and Lundberg.‚ 1980).
