things come to mind such as climate change‚ water pollution‚ species loss‚ or deforestation. Yet so many other problems get overlooked because they are unrecognizable or do not get as much media coverage. One of these issues is the threat of invasive species. Some people will walk past them every day without even realizing it. After all why would anyone question something that looks just like another plant‚ insect‚ or animal. Invasive species are not as in your face as pollution or deforestation‚ but

variety of genes in populations of single species‚ through species‚ on up to the array of natural ecosystems." This includes plants‚ animals‚ insects‚ fungi‚ bacteria‚ and all microorganisms. All of these things create what is known as a web. These things interact with each other in some way there for they depend on one another throughout their lifetime. There are many separate ways in which we can study biodiversity. These ways include‚ genetic‚ species‚ community‚ ecosystem‚ and taxonomic diversity

Co evolution is the evolution of two or more interdependent species‚ each adapting to changes in the other. It occurs‚ for example‚ between predators and prey and between insects and the flowers that they pollinate. (www.dictionary.com) This relationship between two species allows for their existence. They work together to ensure the survival of the other. The Bumble Bee Orchid (Ophrys bombyliflora) is a species of orchid that closely resemble a female bumble bee in both looks as well as smell

This short essay contains an outline of the pertinent points and concepts discussed by R. Buckminster Fuller in his essay Operating Manual for Spaceship Earth‚ which puts forward one argument for evolution. ‘Earth is only eight thousand miles in diameter‚ which is almost a negligible dimension in the great vastness of space. Our nearest star - the sun - is ninety-two million miles away. The nearest star’ after that ‘is one hundred thousand times further. It takes approximately four and one-third

Darwin’s theory of evolution can be broken down into two parts: the theory of microevolution and the theory of macroevolution. “Microevolution is the theory that natural selection can‚ overtime‚ take and organism and transform it into a more specialized species of that organism.” Macroevolution is the hypothesis that processes similar to those at work in microevolution can‚ over eons of time‚ transform an organism into a completely different kind of organism.” (Wile and Durnell 268). I am against the theory

with people through such devices as sign language and symbols. The three primary purposes of animal communication are to make identification‚ give location‚ and influence behavior. The most important communications occur between members of the same species. A worker honey bee may find a source of food. To tell other bees in the hive in what direction and how far the food is‚ the honeybee initiates a specific dance pattern . Ants leave an odor trail that the other ants can follow from the nest to a food

for me because of my love for the ocean and my passion for sharks. A marine biologist studies all types of sea life and can specialize in studying large ocean animals. Since the release of the 1975 movie “Jaws;” I was captivated by this majestic species. I have always felt a kindred spirit with sharks and want to be part of a solution to change the general population’s perception of sharks. A marine biology education provides me with the knowledge for educating our future generations‚ becoming

Bubbleponics condition of shoot cuttings such as Molave‚ Dao and Mahogany‚ the three (3) premium species of tree‚ were assessed through the application of bubbleponics system. Bubbleponics system‚ also known as Deep Water Culture‚ is a method of plant propagation where the roots are suspended in nutrient which have rich in oxygenated water. It is essentially a top fed deep water system which
