But, living examples of marine vertebrates make up seven structurally complex superclass organisms (amphibians, reptiles, mammals, birds, bony fish, sharks, and rays).Extant aquatic vertebrates (e.g. still surviving) range in size from the 7.7 mm microhylid frog to the thirty three (33) ...
Coral reefs are often referred to as the "rainforests of the ocean" because these ecosystems teem with life – an estimated one-quarter of marine species rely on them for food or shelter. In addition to corals and brightly-colored fish, sponges, sea anemones, sea urchins and clams make the...

This provides a wholesome perspective of “how an animal thrives” and “which ecological roles it is assigned by nature”.Figure 5: Different terrestrial zoographic regions of the world depicting the geographical distribution of amphibians, birds, and non-marine mammals on the planet Earth. Image...
Biodiversity is a representation of the complexity of life in all its forms. The Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) defines biodiversity as "the variability among living organisms from all sources, including terrestrial, marine and other aquatic ecosystems and the ecological complexes of which th...
In a marine environment, organisms will migrate based on the locality of their food source. Migration can decrease competition for food resources between adults and young by placing them in separate ecosystems.Species of Anadromous Fish Lesson Summary Register to view this lesson Are you a student ...
their school of fish. When this occurs, the reproductive male changes sex so that the school is able to have a female again. One of the bigger non-reproductive males will then become reproductive so the lifecycle of the fish can continue. We see the cycle of the clownfish in Figure 2 ...
