This species ranks as the second smallest marine mammal in the animal kingdom and is known for its dense fur coat‚ as opposed to a layer of blubber (http://www.defenders.org/sea-otter/basic-facts). The sea otter is a keystone species. A keystone species is “a species on which other species in an ecosystem largely depend‚ such that if it were removed the ecosystem would change drastically” (https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=chro

According to the study of Bughio‚ Mangrio‚ Abro‚ Jahangir and Bux‚ it has been found that Eucalyptus species release volatile compounds such as benzoic‚ cinnamic and phenolic acids which inhibit growth of crops and weeds growing near it. Phenolic acids and volatile oils released from the leaves‚ bark‚ and roots of certain Eucalyptus spp. have deleterious effects on other plant species. In the study of Bughio et al.‚ using the eucalyptus camaldunlensis as allelopathy agent against Acasia nilotica

Mangrove Ecosystem at Bicentennial Park It might be said “Bicentennial Park is a diverse natural property”(1) which studies the ecosystem of mangroves‚ saltmarsh and other biotic and abiotic factors. Bicentennial Park is located in Sydney Olympic park‚ NSW Australia. “The state and federal government created the Park during 1980s‚ to celebrate Australia’s Bicentenary in 1988”(2). “On 1 January the Park was officially opened”(3). “This large up-to-date park consists

Biological Diversity of Natural Ecosystems Introduction Since humans have come into existence they have always been a cause of change of whatever natural areas they inhabit along with the living organisms of those natural areas. The different types of organisms such as plants‚ animals‚ and microorganisms that inhabit these areas are known as biological diversity or biodiversity. (USEPA 2010 ) Biological diversity can be affected by many different things‚ climate change‚ and area being two specific things

Instinct Species in “Jurassic Park” When we hear about cloning in the media‚ they are usually referring to reproductive cloning‚ human cloning in particular‚ and it’s scientific and ethical implications. In Jurassic Park‚ John Hammand‚ who is a rich entrepreneur‚ hires a group of scientists to clone dinosaurs from the Jurassic Period. The ethical dilemma presented in Jurassic Park is whether we should use our knowledge of cloning to revive an extinct species that ceased to exist through natural processes

The Effects of Foreign Species Introduction On An Ecosystem The effects of foreign species introduction into an ecosystem are very profound. From small microorganisms to species of large mammals‚ many foreign species introductions occur every day. New implications of their introduction are found just as often. When a foreign species is introduced into an ecosystem‚ often the ecosystem contains no natural predators for the new species. This lack of predators sometimes leads to; in conjunction

time. The evolution of our earth‚ and it species has been a very debated topic over time. There is a lot of evidence that supports evolution and you have found a lot of great evidence that proved this theory to be true. The proposal that species variation locally‚ globally and over time was your idea‚ and is agreed with widely today. Natural selection is one of your other theories that is known all over the world today. Both natural selection and species variation have helped develop the theory

WHAT IS ECOSYSTEM An ecosystem consists of the biological community that occurs in some locale‚ and the physical and chemical factors that make up its non-living or abiotic environment. There are many examples of ecosystems -- a pond‚ a forest‚ an estuary‚ grassland. The study of ecosystems mainly consists of the study of certain processes that link the living‚ or biotic‚ components to the non-living‚ or abiotic‚ components. Energy transformations and ecosystem components are the two main topics
