Montana Paleontologists Compile Growth Series Analyses Adversely Affecting Dinosaur Species Diversity Holly Brown ABSTRACT The purpose of this paper is to report the findings of paleontologists Horner‚ Scanella‚ Goodwin and others regarding their study of growth series analysis in dinosaurs. They have provided evidence that what once was considered multiple different species of dinosaurs are actually varying stages of development in one genus. Utilizing the extensive fossil record at hand for

Keystone species play a large role in each ecosystem‚ they have the ability to alter their ecosystem or be the reason they completely collapse. Keystone species are the reason that many different species exist‚ these other species highly depend on the keystone species for survival‚ if a single keystone species were to go extinct‚ it is likely for other species populations to decrease. Other species benefit from keystone species in a variety of ways‚ such as food supply‚ shelter‚ or a water source

detrimental to some species. The weakest and unhealthiest become dinner for those predators and also become a positive thing for the species that only the strongest of the herd will survive and continue to reproduce. Some types of prey have defense mechanisms which fight off predators. Survival of the fittest is the best explained phrase for this type of ecological interaction. Introduction Predator-prey relationships are a common interaction found in every type of ecosystems and communities

ABSTRACT An ecosystem is a very important part of our natural world. Everything relates to nature in one way or another. In turn‚ should be treated with respect and should be not tampered from its original state. With animal annihilation and extinction aside one large issue that comes to mind dealing with ecosystem imbalance is invasive species. Most invasive species do not add or diminish from there new invasive ecosystem but sometimes they can cause a devastating effect on things such as population

An ecosystem is a community of living organisms (plants‚ animals and microbes) in conjunction with the nonliving components of their environment (things like air‚ water and mineral soil)‚ interacting as a system. These biotic and abiotic components are regarded as linked together through nutrient cycles and energy flows. As ecosystems are defined by the network of interactions among organisms‚ and between organisms and their environment‚ they can come in any size but usually encompass specific‚ limited

robotics; while all of the floor workers are used to putting their welding skills to the test they have transferred to automatic industrial welding robotics. While spot welding is a huge step in welding‚ these welds may not be as precise when put into human hands. The automatic machines have been developed to have extreme precise spot welds to help strengthen the weld. This is possible due to the extreme about of analog and digital signals; since these are so precise
