Summary Introduction
In ecology, the type of natural environment in which a specific species of organism survive is called as a habitat. The habitat is characterized by both biological and physical features. The habitat of the species is those places where it can obtain shelter, food and mates for the reproduction. The types of habitats include subtropical, tropical, temperate and polar.

- In scientific research, should ideas and discoveries be shared openly? What kind of an impact would there be if the information is NOT shared?arrow_forwardEcology directly deals with all of the following levels of biological organization except cells. ecosystems. communities. populations. organisms.arrow_forwardMany organisms live in environments with extreme conditions (ex. desert), and as a result, they possess anatomical and behavioral adaptations that allow them to survive and maintain homeostasis. Consider fennec foxes living in the desert. Identify three major abiotic conditions, describe how these conditions would impact the organisms' ability to maintain homeostasis (1-2 sentences each), and discuss potential adaptations (morphological and/or behavioral) that would assist in maintaining homeostasis (2-3 sentences each).
