Horseshoe crabs, marine arthropods known for their horseshoe like shells have been roaming the Earth long before the dinosaurs. These living fossils only inhabit the Eastern Shore and can be found on Delaware beaches such as the Delaware Bay, but these living relics may be in for extinction. Due to this exact reason Delaware has begun studying and protecting these species. Horseshoe crabs are vital to the Delaware Bay ecosystem,
Starting with the food chain in Chesapeake bay, the plants and algae play the basis role in food chain. They make their own food by sunlight. These plants and algae are bay grass and free floating algae. The plants and algae not only feeds all other organisms in the water but also gives homes and shelter for other organisms. Frogs lay their eggs on the bay grass, giving the tadpoles a home.
The Apalachicola River plays an integral role in the ecology of Apalachicola Bay. This estuary serves as the interface between the freshwater uplands and the Gulf of Mexico. Apalachicola Bay is an exceptionally important nursery area for fish and shellfish in the Gulf of Mexico and a major foraging area
Kermode bears are important for many reasons. The idea of the Kermode bear started with Frances Kermode of the royal British army the bear was named after him because many people thought he was very important. Sometimes these bears can help states attract tourist which helps the state raise money to save the bear’s habitats and the bears themselves from being endangered. These bears are important to people in so many different ways like the bears help hunters in hunting season, they also help give people the meat and bones they need they need to survive and to help make a profit (Local Distilleries’ Fight for Spirit Bears). The Kermode bears are also called the spirit bear because of their white ghostly look which makes them important to some
Rolly-polly Research Paper Terrestrial isopods are also known as sow bugs or pill bugs. Pill bugs are related to lobster, crabs, and shrimp. Pill bugs are found in moist areas like under rocks; also they are different from sow bugs. Pill bugs curl into a ball when they feel threatened, as to sow bugs when they feel threatened, they run away. Today, for my experiment, I will need some soaked and dried paper towels.
How you ever thought in a million years that a dog who just had a litter would foster a kitten? In some cases it may be very weird but, this happens with other animals. If you read the first passage 2nd paragraph you will have a little more understanding.
Like most animals, the blue crab’s ecosystem affects all the things in their lives, whether it be their adaptations or environmental threats that they face in their day to day lives. To begin, the blue crab 's ecosystem, the neritic zone, affects the adaptations it needs to survive in areas like the Chesapeake Bay. Deep
Ralph Waldo Emerson once wrote, “What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.” Poet Mark Doty shares this sentiment in his piece “A Green Crab’s Shell” which explores the theme of death through an abandoned carapace of a small sea creature. Doty employs evocative imagery, colorful detail, and fragmented structure in his poem to portray death as an opportunity to be reflective on one’s life. In investigating the small shell, Doty shows the beauty of what one leaves behind, far after their death, no matter how insignificant or short their life might have seemed.
Chilean sea urchin, Loxechinus albus Introduction: The Chilean Sea urchins Loxechinus albus (Molina, 1782) is an edible echinoderm animal of the family Parechinidae. This species is native to the coasts of Chile and Peru and is considered among the key benthic herbivores in Chilean coastal waters. It is harvested commercially by fishermen and is considered an ingredient in Chilean cuisine. It is also known as “common green sea urchin” and its local name in Chile is “Erizo rojo” which means “red urchin”. They can grow up to 100 mm in diameter or more.
Young Angelfish need good nutrition to grow to full size and be strong. It is therefore; very important to make sure the young Angelfish are getting good mix of food and are getting enough to eat. Wild Angelfish are omnivorous and predatory. However in captivity they will accept most commercial prepared foods. Some of their favorite foods are brine shrimp, tubifex worms, white worms and blood worms.
Introduction A. Have you ever been in a situation where you were filled with fear? 1. All that fear went to your brain, and you did not know how to react. B. I experienced that same uncertainty when I was on vacation years ago in Gulf Shores, Alabama. C.
Biotic factors affecting the distribution of species Chamaesipho brunnea and Lepsiella scobina The two species C.brunnea and L.scobina share a predator relationship, which, along with other biotic factors and their tolerance levels determines their distribution on the rocky shore. The C.brunnea has a fundamental niche of MTZ-HTZ, which means that it could hypothetically live anywhere in those zones if no predation and competition (mainly interspecific) were present. However, since predation and competition is present in the intertidal zone, the realised niche of the C.brunnea narrows down to the HTZ. This (the realised niche) is the zone that the C.brunnea can actually occupy due to relationships with other organisms, such as predation and
Six of seven species of sea turtles (Chelonioidea) are listed as either vulnerable or endangered by the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. The largest contributors to the decline seen in sea turtle populations are people, this being due to human activities such as fishing, tourism, shipping, industrial production, and coastal development, which have been scientifically proven to impact all seven species of sea turtles. Plastic pollution found in and around the ocean, light pollution along coastlines, and fishing are three of the main ways in which human activity impacts sea turtle populations. Sea turtles, also known as marine turtles, spend most of their life in the ocean, but they are found on land during their terrestrial birth process that involves laying their eggs in the sand; the vulnerable
