Defence behavior in fishes
Fish employ a variety of defenses to protect themselves from predators. These include camouflage, poisonous spines or barbs, electric shocks, chemical defenses, schooling behavior, burrowing, mimicry, and flight. Poisonous species like scorpionfish and stonefish can inject venom through spines, while others secrete noxious chemicals. Schooling confuses predators by making small fish appear as one large target. Many fish also have spines, armor, or inflatable organs to deter attackers.
Order pro bo scidea (ORDER PROBoSCIDEA)
Elephants have adapted to inhabit diverse ecosystems due to their high intelligence and wide range of food sources. They can consume up to 159 kg of food per day including roots, bark, grass, leaves, berries and fruits. Their skeleton, skull, and other physical attributes are adapted to support their massive size, with modifications like an orientation of the pelvis and splayed toes. Their trunk allows them to reach food sources high off the ground, and their tusks are used as tools to obtain food, water and salt. Their skin and large ears help keep their bodies cool in warm climates.
Animal distribution zoogeo
Animals are not uniformly distributed across land and water due to factors like climate, food availability, shelter, and other species. Their distribution can be categorized as continuous, discontinuous, endemic, isolated, or bipolar. Continuous distribution means worldwide presence. Discontinuous distribution occurs when habitat is broken up, such as by oceans or changing land masses. Endemic distribution confines species to particular regions. Isolated and bipolar distributions restrict some animals only to specific isolated areas like Australia or polar regions.

Foraging behaviour
This document discusses various aspects of foraging behavior and habitat selection in organisms. It explains that foraging is how organisms obtain energy and nutrients from their environment. Habitat selection involves animals choosing habitats based on factors like genes, imprinting, and tradition. Two theories of habitat selection are discussed: the optimal foraging model, which predicts which habitat an animal should select to maximize benefits, and the ideal free distribution model, which predicts how individuals distribute themselves for highest fitness. Optimal foraging theory holds that organisms will optimize their energy budgets by maximizing energy intake and minimizing costs. Social foraging is also covered, where animals forage collectively and share information about food sources. The concept of territoriality and functions of establishing territories are then

B2 higher revision
There are five kingdoms that classify organisms based on their cellular structure: Animals, Plants, Fungi, Prokaryotes, and Protoctists. All organisms can also be classified in a hierarchical manner from the broadest category of kingdom down to the specific species level. The binomial system of scientific naming developed by Carl Linnaeus assigns every species a two-part scientific name. Modern classification is based on evolutionary relationships determined by comparing DNA sequences and other genetic evidence.

Excr sciam primate-evolutiondiet
- Many characteristics of modern primates evolved due to early primates obtaining most of their food from the tropical forest canopy.
- Obtaining adequate nutrition in the forest canopy, where primates evolved, was difficult due to challenges like finding enough food, dealing with plant defenses like toxic chemicals and fiber, and getting a mix of nutrients.
- The strategies early primates developed to cope with these dietary challenges in the forest canopy profoundly influenced primate evolution, especially that of anthropoids like monkeys, apes and humans.
Habitat Fragmentation
Habitat fragmentation occurs when once-continuous habitats become divided into smaller, isolated fragments. This leads to population problems for wildlife as there is reduced reproductive ability and decreased species diversity. Forest edges created by fragmentation are drier and more accessible to predators. Corridors between habitat fragments can help provide covered routes for wildlife movement, though their effectiveness is unknown. Riparian buffers improve habitat by functioning as wildlife corridors and providing food, cover, and edge habitat. Proper management of wildlife habitat requires addressing needs such as food, cover, water, space, and arrangement of habitat types.

Biodiversity refers to the variety of life on Earth at all levels, from genes to ecosystems. It can be measured in five levels: genetic diversity within species; species diversity within communities; community diversity within ecosystems; ecosystem diversity within biomes; and biome diversity across the planet. Species diversity has two components - species richness, which is the number of different species, and relative species abundance, which is the number of individuals of each species. Tropical rainforests generally have higher biodiversity than temperate regions due to factors like climate stability, habitat structure, competition and disturbance regimes.

Limiting factors in desert ecosystem
Density dependent and density independent factors limit populations in desert ecosystems. Density dependent factors like competition for scarce resources such as water and food increase with population density. Density independent factors like low precipitation, high temperatures, and nutrient deficient soil affect all individuals regardless of population size. Organisms have adaptations like reduced activity, insulating fur, and nasal salt glands to survive the harsh desert conditions.
Deer And Elk Iconic Early Seral Wildlife
Deer and elk populations have historically fluctuated in Oregon and Washington due to factors like overhunting and severe winters. These species prefer early seral forest habitat after disturbances for food and cover, though their dietary needs differ. Many other wildlife species also rely on early seral forests for various habitat structures and food sources. While deer and elk populations can indicate early seral forest quality, managing solely for these species would not meet all habitat needs for the diverse wildlife that depend on early seral forests.

Her research has focused on the behavior of mantled howler monkeys, including their sleeping patterns, food selectivity, use of space, and foraging strategies. The document also describes a field school course on primates that includes lectures, exams, a research project, and activities like data collection in the field. Topics covered include primate evolution, ecology, social organization, and different species.
Primate social organization
Primate social organizations can generally be categorized into two types: 1) solitary foragers or dispersed polygyny where females forage alone and males monopolize access to females, and 2) where females forage together in female-bonded groups that are larger and contain multiple males. Group structures range from one-male harems to multi-male/multi-female groups. The type of social structure adopted depends on factors like the nature of resources and how defendable or monopolizable they are.
233 what are primates
The document discusses primate taxonomy, evolutionary trends, and characteristics of different primate groups. It outlines the taxonomic classifications from suborder down to family and subfamily levels. It then describes evolutionary trends seen in primates, such as increased brain complexity and tendencies toward upright posture. Finally, it provides details on characteristics of various primate groups, including prosimians, tarsiers, New World monkeys, Old World monkeys, and apes.
233 newworldmonkeys
1. New World monkeys evolved in isolation in South America and fill a variety of ecological niches, with some species converging on characteristics of prosimians and apes.
2. They are divided into two families, the Cebidae and Atelidae. Cebidae includes tamarins, marmosets, capuchins and squirrel monkeys. Atelidae includes howler monkeys, spider monkeys, woolly monkeys and titi monkeys.
3. New World monkeys exhibit diverse behaviors, ranging from monogamous pair bonding in titi monkeys and owl monkeys to fission-fusion social structures in spider monkeys. They occupy a variety of habitats and have a range of diets.
233 prosimians
1. The document discusses the taxonomy and characteristics of several primate families found in Madagascar, Africa, and Asia, including lemurs, lorises, galagos, pottos, and tarsiers.
2. Many species are nocturnal and solitary foragers, while others live in pairs or groups. Diet varies but includes insects, fruit, and gum/resin.
3. Many species are threatened by habitat loss and face an uncertain future unless conservation efforts are improved.
