although twins are very common. They usually weigh about four pounds when they are born. A baby chimpanzee is simply called a baby chimpanzee‚ or an infant. A baby stays with its mom for about five years. Chimpanzees live in the tropical and grassland forests and savanna woodlands in central and west Africa. They can be found walking on the ground or high in the trees. They sleep in nest they make on branches high in the tree. They sleep for about 9 hours. Chimpanzees eat fruit‚ plants‚ insects‚

What is Marine Ecology? Marine Ecology is the scientific study of marine-life habitat‚ populations‚ and interactions among organisms and the surrounding environment including their abiotic (non-living physical and chemical factors that affect the ability of organisms to survive and reproduce) and biotic factors (living things or the materials that directly or indirectly affect an organism in its environment). Marine ecology is a subset of the study of marine biology and includes observations at

FUNGAL ENDOPHYTES: ARE TROPICAL LEAVES BIODIVERSITY HOTSPOTS? A. ELIZABETH ARNOLD1 AND F. LUTZONI Department of Biology‚ Duke University‚ Durham‚ North Carolina 27708 USA Abstract. Fungal endophytes are found in asymptomatic photosynthetic tissues of all major lineages of land plants. The ubiquity of these cryptic symbionts is clear‚ but the scale of their diversity‚ host range‚ and geographic distributions are unknown. To explore the putative hyperdiversity of tropical leaf endophytes‚ we compared

floor. They are sometimes found in 3-40 m deep water but more often found in depths of 10-30 m. They live in water with a temperature around 22-28°C. They are commonly found in u-shaped burrows. Their preferred habitats include marine or tropical saltwater within biomes of benthic reef. Odontodactylus scyllarus have been found inside the stomach of yellow fish tuna but other than this they have no other known predators. Thus‚ the peacock mantis shrimp is to be considered a
