What makes us truly unique and great is our ability to create relationships and connections; this is what allows us to grow and expand our horizons‚ to thrive and accomplish many things‚ and to be closer to our species in order to be successful‚ this is the most important thing that makes us who we are. If we are to be compared to animals‚ such as apes‚ we see that they have relationships upon each other as well. Although apes and other animals share the same

The eyes and mouth belong to an adult flounder. Adult flounders swim on their sides and have both eyes on one side of their body. These characteristics allow flounders to lie flat

Biodiversity of invertebrates found in leaf litter in the Solebury woods Introduction: We are trying to compare the biodiversity of leaf litter invertebrates in forested areas on each side of the horseshoe trail on Solebury School’s campus. Each area has significantly different ecological histories. Leaf litter invertebrates are essential to the forests wood web. At the base off the food web are the main producers which would be trees or shrubbery. Then there are the primary

evolutionary myth that many people still believe in today. The real answer is “kind of.” Long ago when our planet Earth was still young‚ there lived an early humanoid species that similarly represented how monkeys and humans looked like. Eventually‚ the Earth’s environment transformed and climates changed accordingly. The early humanoid species changed and transformed in parallel with the Earth’s transformation. Some say this is the adaptation of the humanoids and others say it is part of the human evolutionary

have named the new species Ramadapis sahnii and claim that it existed 11 to 14 million years ago‚ and is a member of the early primate family Sivaladapidae. Analysis of the jawbone shows that the species consumed leaves and was approximately the same size as a house cat‚ or to a modern day lemur. This discovery is important to the scientific community as with this discovery more information surrounding the evolutionary history of primates can be gathered and analysed. This new species will also help

Snell-Rood‚ offers evidence suggesting that we may be driving evolution in a more surprising way." This quote shows that Dr. Snell-Rood is from the University of Minnesota‚ which

INTRODUCTION Biodiversity presents occurrence of variety of species and their natural community in which they live. By the definition it is “The degree of variation of life forms within a given species‚ ecosystem‚ biome‚ or an entire planet. It is a measure of the health of ecosystems and is in part a function of climate.” (Rutherford) Ecosystem is on the other hand‚ “ community and its abiotic environment”( Rutherford). Biodiversity exists in every ecosystem‚ weather it is big one‚ or just ecosystem

accepted name. The first part of the scientific name—in this case‚Ursus—is the genus to which the organism belongs. Agenus(JEE-nus; plural: genera‚ JEN-ur-uh) is a group of closely related species. Linnaeus’s hierarchical system of classification includes seven levels. They are—from smallest to largest—species‚ genus‚ family‚ order‚ class‚ phylum‚ and kingdom Family- group of genera that share many characteristics Order- group of similar families Class- group of similar orders

Sand dunes are a very important part of the ecosystem. They hold many plant and animal species‚ some of which are even endangered or on the verge of extinction. People of the community and non-profit organizations have been trying to preserve the sand dunes for many years. Sand dunes are destroyed by winter storms and hurricanes. But that is just part of nature. People destroy sand dunes. When people walk on sand dunes‚ they leave weak spots. The wind picks up the sand and carries it out to sea
