Animal Diversity The number of animal varieties familiar to us is vast as the animal world is diverse. Each distinct variety or type of animals is recognized by scientist as a species. Animals of most species are free-living forms but of others are parasitic in bodies of other animals or even plants. According to their habitats animals are divided into the following types Aquatic animals :- They live in water . Animals living in sea water are called marine & those live in river‚ponds‚streams

Chapter 2 Variation Under Nature In the book‚ The Origin of Species‚ by Charles Darwin‚ he explains variation under nature‚ examining if the variety in species in nature can be possibly similar to the variety in domesticated species. Charles Darwin said‚ “The term “variety” is almost difficult to define; but here community of descent is almost universally implied‚ though it can rarely be proved.” He explains how people use the word monstrosities which he presumes is meant some considerable

BIODIVERSTY the term "biodiversty" has been derived from ’bio’ and ’diversity’."Diversity" means variety within a species and among species.Biodiversity is a measure of the variety of organisms present in different ecosystem.

Concepts) Key words: binominal system of naming; science of classification is taxonomy; species; levels of classification (know them); dichotomous identification key; 5 kingdoms; etc… CLASSIFICATION Our oceans have a great variety of life forms. Thousands of new species are discovered each year. We need to identify‚ name‚ and know the biology of all the marine species. To understand this huge array of species‚ a simple classification system is used to produce some order out of chaos. Example: this

Final Paper: Endangered Species Paper The Panamanian Spider Monkey I have always been extremely interested in and moved by the scores of endangered species out there. Whether they are plants or animals‚ I have always been an advocate for the wild life in need. It took hours to pick which specific species I wanted to focus on for this particular project‚ but after much research and a personal connection‚ I chose the Panamanian Spider Monkey. Ever since I was a little girl I have had a special

marshland plant and animal species. The Everglades which are a national park‚ are often thought of " a rather unpleasant place: creepy and shadowy‚ muddy‚ overrun with snakes and insect." They are also thought of as irrelevant and not important. This is actually false‚ The Everglades are a valuable and productive ecosystem that fulfill an essential function for both humans and wildlife. Let me inform you on the values of The Everglades. The Everglades are home to many species. The word commonly used

Reproductive Isolating Mechanisms In the 1940s‚ Ernst Mayr coined the term Biological Species Concept that was subsequently widely embraced by the scientific community. The definition stated that "Species are groups of actually or potentially interbreeding natural populations that are reproductively isolated from other such groups". Certain mechanisms are in place to prevent species from interbreeding with others and these are referred to as reproductive isolating mechanisms‚ which are biological
