Species act

Hello, I am Madeline Mercier. I’m a freshman at Community High School, I am currently in the Foundations of Science Course 1. Within this course, my classmates and I evaluated, tested and reviewed the health of sections 0-1050 ft of Traver Creek. Specifically gathering data on the Benthic populations, as well as their Taxa. The class of 2016 took detailed descriptions of the physical appearance of the creek and surrounding areas. We even tested the water to find necessary information on the health

Change is the key factor in a species survival, whether that change, is being minimal or extremely dramatic, and without change a species have condemned itself to extinction. Animals have learned to adapt to their surroundings in order to survive, and with these adaptation people can witness new breeds added to the spectrum and see them flourish. Breeds can be defined as a stock of animals or plants within a species having a distinctive appearance and typically having been developed by deliberate

many biologists have referenced this giant community as the Greek earth goddess, Gaia. Coevolution is generally focused on plants and animals, and how two or more species interact causing a result of a mutualistic relationship (2). Once a scientist acknowledges how these species interact, they end up with a conclusion of how each species has different variations, adaptations, and how their fitness works within their ecosystem.

As the world around us warms, places that originally were too cold for certain species become their new ideal habitat. Sometimes however, animals and plants that once inhabited the same area move at different speeds, creating new interspecies interactions. Mangrove tree crabs, Aratus pisonii, originally inhabited only the natural range of the mangrove tree. The current range of the mangrove tree along the East coast starts at Jacksonville, Florida and continues south. Aratus depends on the mangrove

The process of determining the validity of the three unknown specimens as new primate species is to generate a phylogenetic tree to represent the evolutionary relationships among the three unknown Rwanda species and other closely related species. These closely related species were taken from the diverse range of sequences given of eight other known primates using 12S ribosomal RNA. To create the phylogenetic tree we used the program Geneious which allows for various analyses within the single program

comparison with the biomass of the same plant’s root in a region where there is no genetic relatedness. The hypothesis––the presence of close relatives in the plant’s environment does not change group or individual fitness––was tested using another species, Lupinus angustifolius. Three different controlled environments were constructed to grow this plant: one surrounded by relatives, one surrounded by unrelated individuals of the same area, and one surrounded by unrelated individuals of different areas

plants and animals were created by a supernatural or also known as God. As Young and Strode state, “Within this basic idea are themes are variations; some cultures believe that plants and animal species are unchanging, others believe that different species can arise from existing species but the original species were put into being in a supernatural way” (55). Some think the creation event happened very recently, within historical times thousands of millions of years before present day. It should be

reasons including preventing extinction of species (Captive). Yet, is captive breeding the only way to prevent extinction? Several breeding programs also partner with a reintroduction program. These two programs could slow extinction or better yet stop it. Captive breeding programs attempt to breed the wildlife in zoos. Zoos are required to have a studbook. In the book are records of parents, deaths, and births of each individual of a particular species. The data is analyzed and a repost is sent

figure 2, because of the allele frequencies and their unpredictable fluctuation from one generation to the next. Natural selection and Genetic Drift remove genetic variation from a population of a species. Both Natural selection and Genetic Drift remove genetic variation from a population of a species. This could be considered an example of peripatric speciation, because it is the result of natural selection and genetic drift, and the populations experiencing a new environment. After this experiment

entertainment, education, species preservation, and scientific research. While are this is sounds nice Jamieson argues that zoos give humans a sense of falsehood when it comes to the pecking order of the natural world. As kids go to the zoo they can obtained the idea that animals are there for the sense of our pleasure and our own purpose. Jamieson states that “morality and perhaps our very survival required that we learn to live as one species among many rather than as one species over many” (Jamieson
