Predation and Parasitism: Predation refers to the ecological activity of an organism using another organism for food. Parasitism refers to the ecological activity of an organism living in or off of another organism. The host organism could be used for shelter or food but it is harmed by the pa...
What is meant by the term endemic? What makes endemic species particularly vulnerable? Distinguish between an organism and a species. To provide universality, all animals are given a genus and species name in what? Define predation and distinguish b...
But planetologists have discovered that Earth's very presence in this Goldilocks zone is itself due to an amazing stroke of luck. When the Solar System was still young, this zone came close to being taken over by the planet Jupiter.但行星学家发现，地球出现在这片“宜居带”本身就有惊人的运...
Again, there is no clarification of what is meant by “constraint” in regards to agriculture. According to Paqnation, it needs the evolution of the denial gene (presumably coincident with the mortality salience gene) to get to agriculture but he doesn’t seem to explain why agriculture needed...
Fireflies and Predation Predator Defense Fireflies, also known as lightning bugs, are part of the Lampyridae family and face various predators in their environment. To protect themselves, these fascinating insects have developed a unique defense mechanism. Their most significant defense is bioluminescence...
Like love, dignity can best take hold in the absence of abuse and discrimination, exploitation, and predation. But once dignity is secure, it can help carry us from liberty to the justice that still eludes many democratic societies. KEY POINTS: It’s now possible for humanity to take a gi...
“It actually ends up being a really high rate of predation, Kays said. He calculates that cats can have 4-to-10 times the influence of a wild predator. Native predators, like jungle cats, also kill a lot of small animals, but their influence is spread out over a larger area. One ...
This paper presents the conceptual framework needed to explain what is meant by a constraint or cost being created by the neuroendocrine system and discusses the extent to which this occurs and some possible examples. The purpose of doing this is to encourage endocrinologists to take a fresh look...
”The birds profiled definitely tend toward the more conventionally “exciting,” but I try not to neglect our good common birds too—they have their own interesting stories. Each profile includes a photo of the bird and some information about it, and every one is a real bird with real ...
Predation is also responsible for all kinds of evolution in the prey: developing means to hide from predators via mimicry, camouflaging and warning colors.Competition: Where One or Both Inhibit the Population of the Other Competition between species occurs when both entities vie for the same ...
