Microbes

Microbes are microscopic living organisms that can only be detected with the help of specialized laboratory equipment called a microscope. These living organisms are so small that they are not visible to the naked eye.

Effects of Habitat loss
Crab Sea Slug Algae on Eelgrass Eelgrass Figure 1. Partial food chain in eelgrass habitats 1. Sea otters are native to the western coast of North America. Between 1750 and 1850, hunting had reduced the population from hundreds of thousands to only one thousand individuals. In the early 1900s, a small population of sea otters was discovered in Elkhorn Slough, an estuary in central California near a large human population center. The otters were then protected by the international fur seal treaty, which banned sea otter hunting. The sea otter population has rebounded to nearly three thousand individuals today. Otters live in kelp forests and eelgrass beds and feed on crabs and shellfish (Figure 1). Most herbivores in the habitat eat algae that grows on the eelgrass and not the eelgrass itself. If there is too much algae, the eelgrass does not receive enough light for photosynthesis. As the otter population has increased, the eelgrass habitat has increased. Recently, however, scientists…
At a global scale, harmful algal blooms (HABS) are appearing in many places, often new places, and lasting longer than previously recorded. Across Florida, the occurrence of algal blooms, caused by various species of phytoplankton, has been intensifying. In the summer of 2016, a state of emergency was declared because a toxic cyanobacterial bloom occurred in Lake Okeechobee which spread into and throughout the St. Lucie River and Estuary. Water samples collected during the bloom helped identify a limiting nutrient. 1. Data from a Burger et al. (2004) indicate that mercury levels in Florida gar, top-level predators, from Lake Okeechobee were not higher than mercury levels of fish muscle from other locations in the United States. However, mercury levels in the livers of Florida gar were above the level considered safe for human consumption. a. Explain why this is good news for people who fish in Lake Okeechobee. b. Explain why this is bad news for non-human consumers of fish, and how it…
