Even 10 years after first seeing penguins in Australia with my very own eyes it still seems strange to me that what is thought of as a very hot country would have an animal that is most well known for living in icy climates. But there we go. Fairy penguins, which are incredibly cute,...
【解析】【1】 由“The Europeans came from climates where it was too cold to swim However the warm climate of Australia soon changed their attitude to swimming. ”可知,欧洲人在到达澳大利亚之前不去游泳。 【2】 由“In those days people believed they should cover their most body so it would ...
Using >60,000 single nucleotide polymorphisms, we quantify patterns of nuclear genetic differentiation between populations that occupy areas with different climates and harbour deeply divergent mitochondrial lineages despite ongoing nuclear gene flow. We find that strong genetic differentiation and sequence ...
Different places have different climates. A desert, for example, ___36___( refer) to as a dry climate because little water falls during the year. In polar regions, however, rising global temperatures ___37___(associate) with climate change mean that ice sheets and glaciers are melting...
These results suggest that nymphalid butterflies (and perhaps all butterflies) were ancestrally adapted to tropical climates and readily dispersed across tropical regions during their earliest period of diversification. Earth’s climate cooled abruptly during the Eocene-Oligocene transition36. The appearance ...
But there’s long-term acclimatization, as well, with people used to living in hotter climates feeling more comfortable at higher temperatures — even if their health risks are actually larger. For example, in a comparison of outdoor workers in Mississippi and North Carolina, Sugg found that ...
This is because they have difficult climates. The United Arab Emirates (UAE), for example, gets 85% of its food from other countries. Even food made in the UAE often uses imported materials.What's wrong with "food miles" Is this not a good way of increasing international trade I believe...
aWildfires occurred long before humans evolved. The earliest known evidence of a wildfire dates back 10 about 365 million years ago. Wildfires are common in many places around the world, including farmland areas of Australia and forest areas or the U.S. and Canada, where the climates are suff...
Some of the most remarkable beetles are the dung beetles, which spend almost their whole lives eating and breeding in dung1. More than 4,000 species of these remarkable creatures have evolved and adapted to the world's different climates and the dung of its many animals. Australia's native ...
