Manta Rays Ever since I first went Scuba Diving I have always wanted to see a manta ray up close. I have heard so many stories about them, and how awesome it was to dive with them. People have told me, "manta rays are very gentle creatures, and their size is overwhelming. They will come up to you as if you had called them like a dog, and soar gracefully over your head as you stare at them in disbelief." Right after I heard this I knew that I had to dive with, and learn everything about them
Symbiosis in nature In Christianity, it has been said that we really do need each other. God has reflected that idea in His creation. Many animals really do need each other in order to survive. For some, it’s obligatory, for others, it is not essential in order to survive. Symbiosis is a truly unique process in nature. The eventual outcome of any symbiotic relationship is usually for the best of either or both parties. One must look at this phenomenon at the right angle. For, from the evolutionary
A biological community is all the populations of organisms living together and potentially interacting in a particular area. A community has its own properties, just as a population has certain characteristics, such as density and dispersion pattern. Its defining characteristics are its diversity, its prevalent from of vegetation, its stability, and its trophic structure. The variety of different types of organisms make up the diversity of a community. It is consisted of two components. The first
leaves to form a conical roof. Fishing- Arawaks used nets, lines with hooks, a bone or turtle shell and harpoons to capture fish. In Cuba artificial pools were created to keep excess fish until they were needed .The Arawaks used the sucking fish (Remora). Pottery- this was made from the local red, brown and gray clays. Pots were not glazed but decorated with markings different for each village. They were made in shapes of frogs, birds or heads with wide eyes and large ears for handles. Basketwork
Interactions between organisms are called a biological interaction. Within these interactions, there are positive but also negative interactions that can be beneficial to some, harmful to the other and even neutral for the organism. The interaction between organisms can be break down to three big categories and amongst those categories, it can be break down to small subcategories. First major relationship between organism that is most common and what defines the law of nature is prey-predator relationship
When the village first discovered Esteban, “he smelled of the ocean, and only his form allowed them to suppose that it was the body of a human, for his hair was covered with an armor-plating of remora and mud,”(2). The drowned man's appearance is really different; he is not recognizable. Their perception of Esteban has changed the same way he has changed them and their perspective on their village. He used to be just a drowned man and, now he has
There are many types of ecosystems”Some are them are immense biomes and other can be minor ecosystems like a puddle or a tree trunk”, but wouldn't it be amazing too have a ecosystem the size of a pop bottle. Luckily this is not a hallucination Ecosystems like these are called ecocolumn which are basically a simulation of a medium ecosystem synce it contains a small aquarium on the bottom and a terrarium in the top. By doing these we are going to be able to see the relationships between the consumers
Predator - Prey Relationships The relationship between predators and their prey is an intricate and complicated relationship; covering a great area of scientific knowledge. This paper will examine the different relationships between predator and prey; focusing on the symbiotic relations between organisms, the wide range of defense mechanisms that are utilized by various examples of prey, and the influence between predators and prey concerning evolution and population structure.
