Tertiary consumers eat the secondary consumers. There may be more levels of consumers before a chain finally reaches its top predator. Top predators, also called apex predators, eat other consumers.Consumers can be carnivores (animals that eat other animals) or omnivores (animals that eat both ...
Air pollution is caused by humans introducing chemicals and other materials into the air. These pollutants are dangerous to both the environment and our own health. Air pollution has a wide range of effects from respiratory disease to climate change. Understanding the causes and effects of air pol...
The rise of carnivory would have set off an evolutionary arms race that led to the burst of complex body types and behaviours that fill the oceans today. “This is the most significant event in Earth evolution,” says Guy Narbonne, a palaeobiologist at Queen's University in Kingston, Canada...
It's difficult to put into perspective just how massive the Earth's oceans are. One way is to consider the fact that, despite humanity's history of studying the planet and all our advanced technology, we've only mapped around 26% of the seafloor. It's also good to remember that we un...
What is the greatest threat to wild species? What kinds of life-forms would most likely survive in the highly polluted world? What would be their general ecological characteristics? What single cosmopolitan species is the top predator in more freshwater systems ...
Who is the predator of the sea? Killer whales (Orcinus orca)are the ocean's ultimate apex predator and are widely distributed throughout the world's oceans. What eats a jellyfish? Sea anemonesmay eat jellyfish that drift into their range. Other predators include tunas, sharks, swordfish, ...
As far asamphibiansare considered, they need water bodies to reproduce. Even certain varieties have set up long term plans to bypass or protect susceptible stage of the larva in the water. We do not find them in the oceans except for a few frogs numbering one or two that survive in salty...
What genus is a shark? What is a top predator in a food chain? What fish do great white sharks eat? What is a jaguar's food chain? What do horn sharks eat? What kind of sharks eat people? What eats sharks in the ocean? What did megalodon eat? What do frilled sharks eat? What ...
T is the number of days when prey and predator are in contact during a year (assumed to be 365 days, based on stranding data that suggest their presence in western Iberian waters year-round, Van Waerebeek et al., 1999; Ferreira et al., 2016; Carvalho, 2018, CEMMA unpublished work)....
