Amphibians are becoming a vanishing species. There are a number of causes for them dieing. But the most recent and worst cause has been discovered. It is responsible for killing off our amphibians. They are dieing by the thousands. They were able to survive and hold on through past extinction spasms‚ surviving even when 95 percent of other animals died out. They even stayed alive when the dinosaurs disappeared. If amphibians could live longer than dinosaurs‚ then why are

THE CONCEPT OF SPECIES What are species? Species are the basic taxonomic units of biological classification. This grouping of organisms of "like kind" into discrete and stable units has been traced at least from the time of Plato and Aristotle. The term derives from the Latin "specere" (to look at‚ to behold)‚ with the meaning of "kind‚“ "quality‚" "appearance‚" "shape‚" or "a peculiar sort.“ In the past‚ species were classified according to their shape. Carl Linnaeus (1707-1778)‚ the

Invasive Species: Asian Carp Asian carps are different species of fish that originated in many parts of Eurasia. There are 4 different types of Asian carps‚ but the silver carp and bighead carp are mostly found in the Mississippi River drainage basin and Illinois River. The silver and bighead carp first came to North America from China in 1973. Being filter feeders‚ they were imported to remove algae and suspended matter‚ ultimately trying to improve water qualities in aquaculture ponds. However

1. Decodable Text * There are five levels of decodable text‚ ranging from highly decodable to minimally decodable. Highly decodable books use one-syllable and one-vowel-sound words‚ such as “cat‚” “fun” or “sit.” These might also use some short sight words‚ such as “a‚” “an” and “the.” Very decodable text still uses simple words‚ but those words may now have an extra letter or use blends that the students are learning in class‚ such as “this‚” “such” or “that.” Decodable text adds more of

Rodent Interaction Lab Introduction In an experiment‚ adult female hamsters were exposed to both a conspecific male and a heterospecific male through wire-mesh barriers for 8 days‚ and then paired sequentially with the two males. It was found that female hamsters can learn during adulthood to avoid interspecific mating just by being exposed to stimuli from heterospecific males‚ (delBarco-Trillo et. al.‚ 2010). This experiment gives a lot of information on the behavior of hamsters in terms
