  • Plecia Nearctica Research Paper

    978 Words  | 4 Pages

    It’s a widely held myth that University of Florida entomologists introduced Plecia nearctica into Florida as means to control insect population however, love bugs, as this species is more commonly known as, actually migrated across the Gulf Coast from Mexico through human activities. Despite the humorous implications of the common name, given because of their ability to copulate while in flight for hours, it does not emphasize the controversy that surrounds its invasive appearance in the Southern states of America. These states found that the species was detrimental to the abiotic environment initially but as it turns out, with time, the species adapted to actually become helpful to the biotic environment. What was initially seen as a nuisance became an integral part of the agricultural ecosystem despite it being an unintended consequence through increased human activities. The ecological effects of Plecia nearctica start with its evolution and adaptation to the Southern states in America and

    Southwest Florida is the coastal region in the Florida state. It contains many metropolitan areas and is quite populated when compared with other parts of the country. The whole area is governed by the exposure to the coast and all the life elements therefore depend on this huge water body. The pests that are found in the area are also much related to the presence of water bodies and some pests near beaches can truly present a hazard to home owners who like to live close to the coast.

    2a. If sunlight were to disappear almost completely, it would leave lasting effects on many organisms such as an earthworm, a shark, a maple tree, a saguaro cactus, or a teenager. While looking at an earth worm, the short term effects would be beginning to see more of the species during the day. Earthworms are nocturnal, so they live beneath the surface when it is daylight and come out once the sun goes down. Because of this in the long run, the earthworm species would eventually become overpopulated; they would be above the surface more, so they would have more time to reproduce.

    Perennials are plants that usually live longer than two years. The hypothesis being tested was whether or not perennial life forms can be treated as plant functional groups. The method to determine this was by taking a series of quadrant samples on the White Mountains in Northern California to uncover common species. Eight species were selected for the study to compare ecophysiological differences and maximum photosynthetic capacity between these eight species. Although these species chosen were supposed to illustrate four different ecological life forms and also portray putative plant functional groups, the results depicted no definitive patterns of difference between categories of life forms in the alpine fellfield community.

    The Effhlekh Salamander is a mysterious jewel of [[Farah’deen]], an amphibian that makes it’s home in desert-covered lands with little water and an animal that is of particular fascination to [[Qadir-Almae]] engineers. This salamander makes its home in the oases and on the coasts of Farah’deen, though the scarcity of water and its inhospitable habitat have begun to wear down its population. Documented since before the [[Great Storm]], this amphibian has been a part of Farah’deen’s history for centuries. One of the most interesting parts about this salamander is it’s color-shifting skin in the presence of high concentrations of [[Binral Essence]], a trait that has seeped this species in superstition.
