This document discusses animal adaptations to different habitats. It provides examples of how camels, cacti, polar bears, and fish have adapted to survive in deserts and Arctic environments. Camels have adaptations like thick fur, the ability to go long periods without water, and slit-like nostrils to survive in hot, dry deserts. Cacti store water in their stems and have widespread root systems and spines instead of leaves to minimize water loss. Polar bears have white fur for camouflage, thick layers of fat and fur for insulation, and large feet to distribute their weight on ice. The document also notes fish have gills to breathe underwater and streamlined bodies to reduce resistance while swimming. Adaptations help
Animals adaptations
Organisms adapt to their environments in various ways. Animals in cold climates like the Arctic have adaptations like thick fur, layers of blubber, and camouflaged coloring to help them retain body heat. They also tend to have short, fat bodies and limbs to reduce surface area exposed to the cold. Animals in dry, hot climates like deserts adapt in opposing ways to dissipate heat, such as through large ears, thin fur, and longer limbs to spread heat over more surface area. They also have low body fat and are often nocturnal to avoid the daytime heat.
Adaptation of Camel to Desert Environment
The camel has several anatomical, physiological, and behavioral adaptations that allow it to survive in desert environments where food and water are scarce. Anatomically, the camel has a small head with ears and nostrils that can close to protect from sand. It has a hump for fat storage and limbs with padded feet suited for sand. Physiologically, the camel can fluctuate its body temperature, conserve water through its kidneys and feces, and extract water from its hump fat. Behaviorally, it positions itself to minimize heat absorption and will lie in groups. The camel's milk also remains dilute with low fat when the camel is dehydrated, providing water for its young. These combined adaptations allow the camel to withstand
WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN A SEA SNAIL AND A LAND SNAIL..docx
Snails are fascinating creatures found in a wide variety of environments, from terrestrial landscapes to the depths of the oceans. While they share a common basic structure and belong to the class Gastropoda, sea snails (marine snails) and land snails exhibit significant differences due to the distinct habitats they inhabit. In this discussion, we will delves into the various aspects that differentiate sea snails from land snails, including their physiology, habitats, diets, reproductive strategies, and adaptations………PLEASE WATCH THIS VIDEO CLIP TO PEER INTO THE WORLD OF SNAILS……….https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8dz4Tln9Mz0&t=2s
1. Habitat and Environment
Sea Snails: Sea snails inhabit marine environments, ranging from shallow coastal waters to the deepest ocean trenches. They are found on rocky shores, sandy beaches, coral reefs, and hydrothermal vents. The saline nature of seawater influences their physiology and behavior, requiring specific adaptations to cope with varying salinity levels, water pressure, and the availability of oxygen.
Land Snails: Land snails live in terrestrial environments, including forests, grasslands, deserts, and gardens. They require a moist habitat to prevent desiccation, as they are prone to drying out. Consequently, land snails are often found in humid areas with abundant vegetation and shelter. They have evolved mechanisms to retain moisture and survive in fluctuating temperatures and humidity levels…………..AS SNAIL PET OWNERS YOU NEED TO LEARN TECHNIQUES IN CARING FOR YOUR SNAILS AS YOU WATCH THIS VIDEO CLIP…………..https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8dz4Tln9Mz0&t=2s
2. Respiratory Systems
Sea Snails: Sea snails primarily use gills for respiration, similar to other aquatic animals. Their gills are located in a mantle cavity and extract oxygen from the water. Some sea snails, especially those in intertidal zones, have developed secondary breathing structures to tolerate periods out of water.
Land Snails: Land snails breathe air using a lung-like structure called a pallial cavity or mantle cavity, which acts as a primitive lung. This cavity opens to the outside through a small hole called the pneumostome. Land snails must keep this cavity moist to facilitate gas exchange, which is why they are often seen in humid environments……….ALL PET LOVER COMMUNITY WORLD WIDE, PLEASE JOIN ME AS WE WATCH THE AMAZING WORLD OF SNAILS TOGETHER,,PLEASE WATCH THIS CLIP……….https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8dz4Tln9Mz0&t=2s
3. Shell Structure and Function
Sea Snails: The shells of sea snails are often more robust and varied in shape and size compared to land snails. They are built to withstand the pressures of the marine environment and protect against predators. Some sea snails, like the abalone, have shells with an iridescent interior, while others have spines or thick ridges.
Land Snails: Land snails typically have lighter and thinner shells, which are not designed to withstand the same level of pressure as those of sea snails.....
DESERT ECOSYSTEM (2113).pptx
A desert is defined as a region receiving less than 250mm of annual precipitation. Deserts cover 22 million square kilometers or one-fifth of Earth's surface. They form due to mountains blocking precipitation paths and climate changes. Desert ecosystems are extremely specialized, with plants like cacti adapting through thick stems that store water and reduced transpiration at night. Animals avoid heat through burrowing and have developed ways to absorb, store, and prevent water loss.

A) Explain five (5) challenges amphibians faced when colonizing land and how they solved
them. B) Explain the improvements reptiles evolved from the amphibian solutions (the five (5)
listed in the question above) to adapt to terrestrial environment
Solution
a) The terrestrial realm of land and air offers many challenges to organisms adapted to aquatic
life:
Gravity:aquatic life is buoyed by water.Air is not so buoyant! So terrestrial animals have to have
some sort of supporting tissue.Endoskeleton of bone and lobe fins modified to limbs.Also
changes in skeleton for land hunting - Shoulder free from skull to give head more flexibility and
arm greater lateral movement
Descication: air is drier than water,so terrestrial organisms need some form of skin or coat to
keep all their precious bodily fluids from leaking out.Fish scales don\'t protect the body much
against desiccation. Besides Amphibians lost those scales early in their evolution.Amphibians
never really solved the skin-permeability problem.They are restricted today to moist habitats.
Respiration: aquatic organisms exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide dissolved in water.In
air,these substances are gases,so new structures are needed to breath.Fish breathe the oxygen
dissolved in water through their gills.Out of the water,however,they are unable to survive for
more than a few minutes.In order to live on dry land,they need to acquire a pulmonary
system.They developed lungs inside body
and stronger rib cage.
Reproduction:aquatic organisms often release their eggs,sperm,etc.,directly into the water.This
approach is much less effective in air,so other solutions evolve.But there is no special
adaptation,return to water to mate.
Locomotion:aquatic animals can swim,scuttle,squidge,orotherwise move through the
water.These motions have to be modified in the terrestrial realm.
Senses:light,sound,and smell transmit differently in water than in air,and some senses don\'t
work in air at all.Terrestrial animals have to evolve new adaptations to deal with these
differences.Lateral line which senses vibrations under water becomes lost and an operculum
overlaying the lower jaw is used to sense vibrations in air.
Excretion:Due to the abundant water in their environment,marine creatures can immediately
filter and expel their bodies waste products,particularly ammonia.On land,water must be used at
minimum levels.For that reason these living things have kidneys,in which ammonia is filtered
out as urea and stored in the bladder,and the minimum amount of water is used when it is
expelled.In addition,there is a need for new systems that enable the kidneys to
function.Amphibians ability to conserve body water is rudimentary.Considerable water is lost by
evaporation through their skin.Most species excrete a copious and diluteurine because a large
volume of water is needed to flush out toxic excretory products through their kidney tubules.
b)Amniotic egg:Amphibians never succeeded in becoming fully terrestrial because.

Coral Reefs Pratik & Mayuresh & Rahul
Coral reefs are formed from calcium carbonate secreted by coral polyps. Coral polyps are small marine invertebrates that build massive reef structures over time. Coral reefs exist in shallow tropical waters between 18-29 degrees Celsius and are the most biodiverse ocean ecosystems. However, coral reefs are threatened by pollution, overfishing, climate change and diseases which can cause coral bleaching and death. International efforts aim to monitor, research and protect coral reefs to preserve their ecological and economic benefits.

Excretion in reptiles & thermoregulation
Reptiles like crocodilians, snakes, lizards, and tuatara mainly excrete uric acid as waste, while turtles excrete urea like mammals. Their kidneys filter large quantities of blood. Aquatic reptiles tend to excrete ammonia, while terrestrial reptiles convert nitrogenous waste to insoluble uric acid to conserve water. Reptiles are poikilothermic and rely on environmental heat to regulate their body temperature within a functional range, emerging from burrows or altering skin coloration to thermoregulate as temperatures change.
Protection of habitat of corals
The document provides information on coral reefs and mangroves, including their importance, characteristics, and threats. It discusses how physical and chemical properties of water affect life in the sea, including factors like temperature, salinity, dissolved gases, light, and turbidity. It describes the different zones of the ocean based on light penetration. The document also summarizes coral reef ecology, the role of corals, and threats they face from climate change, pollution, and human activities. For mangroves, it outlines their global distribution, importance for coastal protection and fisheries, and causes of degradation including clearing for development. The management and policy efforts in India to conserve these critical coastal ecosystems are also highlighted.
Protection of habitat of corals
Marine ecosystems cover over 70% of the Earth's surface and contain 97% of the planet's water. Coral reefs and mangroves are important marine ecosystems. Coral reefs provide habitat for over 25% of marine species and support tourism and fishing industries. Mangroves act as nurseries for many fish species, protect coastlines from erosion, and filter pollutants from coastal waters. Both ecosystems are threatened by climate change, pollution, and other human activities. Effective management and conservation of these fragile ecosystems is important for marine biodiversity and human communities.

Coral reefs provide habitat for over 25% of marine species and support tourism and fishing industries, while mangroves act as nurseries for fish, protect coastlines from erosion, and filter pollutants from coastal waters. However, both ecosystems are threatened by climate change, pollution, and other human impacts. Effective management and conservation of these ecosystems requires understanding their role in the marine environment as well as implementing protective regulations and restoration efforts.
B1.4 animals adaptations
This document discusses animal adaptations for survival in different environments. It provides examples of how Arctic and desert animals have adapted through physical traits like thick fur or thin coats and body shapes that minimize heat loss or gain. Sharks are used to demonstrate both general aquatic adaptations like streamlined bodies and gills as well as specific predatory adaptations like sensitive smell and replaceable teeth. Surface area to volume ratio is discussed as an important factor in an animal's ability to retain or shed heat.
Tidal zones notes ppt
This document discusses the tidal zone and the adaptations required for organisms to survive within it. The tidal zone is divided into four zones - splash zone, high tide zone, middle tide zone, and low tide zone - based on how often each is covered by water. Organisms in each zone have adapted in ways such as avoiding desiccation, resisting waves, and protecting themselves from predators in order to survive the varying environmental conditions caused by the tides. Examples of adaptations include barnacles fitting tightly to rocks and sea stars using tube feet to anchor themselves.
Life Near The Surface (Chapter 15)
The document discusses life near the surface of the ocean. It describes the epipelagic zone, which extends from the surface to 200 meters deep. This zone contains the highest abundance and diversity of organisms. Phytoplankton and zooplankton dominate as they can photosynthesize or feed on phytoplankton. Organisms in the epipelagic zone have adaptations to stay afloat such as streamlined shapes, gas-filled structures, or high lipid content. They also face predation and must find ways to eat while avoiding being eaten.

Mangroves act as nurseries for many fish species, protect coastlines from erosion, and filter pollutants from coastal waters. Both ecosystems are threatened by climate change, pollution, and other human activities. Effective management and conservation of these fragile ecosystems is important for marine biodiversity and human communities.
Protection of habitat of corals
Marine ecosystems cover over 70% of the Earth's surface and contain 97% of the planet's water. Coral reefs and mangrove forests are two important marine ecosystems. Coral reefs provide habitat for over 25% of marine species and support tourism and fishing industries, while mangroves act as nurseries for fish, protect coastlines from erosion, and filter pollutants from coastal waters. However, both ecosystems are threatened by climate change, pollution, and other human impacts. Effective management and conservation of these ecosystems requires understanding their role in the marine environment as well as implementing protective regulations and restoration efforts.
B1.4 animals adaptations
This document discusses animal adaptations for survival in different environments. It provides examples of how Arctic and desert animals have adapted through physical traits like thick fur or thin coats and body shapes that minimize heat loss or gain. Sharks are used to demonstrate both general aquatic adaptations like streamlined bodies and gills as well as specific predatory adaptations like sensitive smell and replaceable teeth. Surface area to volume ratio is discussed as an important factor in an animal's ability to retain or shed heat.
Tidal zones notes ppt
This document discusses the tidal zone and the adaptations required for organisms to survive within it. The tidal zone is divided into four zones - splash zone, high tide zone, middle tide zone, and low tide zone - based on how often each is covered by water. Organisms in each zone have adapted in ways such as avoiding desiccation, resisting waves, and protecting themselves from predators in order to survive the varying environmental conditions caused by the tides. Examples of adaptations include barnacles fitting tightly to rocks and sea stars using tube feet to anchor themselves.
Life Near The Surface (Chapter 15)
The document discusses life near the surface of the ocean. It describes the epipelagic zone, which extends from the surface to 200 meters deep. This zone contains the highest abundance and diversity of organisms. Phytoplankton and zooplankton dominate as they can photosynthesize or feed on phytoplankton. Organisms in the epipelagic zone have adaptations to stay afloat such as streamlined shapes, gas-filled structures, or high lipid content. They also face predation and must find ways to eat while avoiding being eaten.

PDC+++ Module 3 Class 5 Aquaculture
Normally we think of producing food or biomass with terraculture (growing in earth), but aquaculture (growing in water) can be many times more productive for the same surface area. Therefore knowing how Aquaculture works is important if we want to create super-productive systems.
In this class we explore the basic principles & various good examples of very productive aquaculture (& multifunctional) in different parts of the world.
Also we explore how we can start very small in order to add mini-aquaculture-systems which are very easy to install & maintain, in our surroundings.

EWOCS-I: The catalog of X-ray sources in Westerlund 1 from the Extended Weste...
Context. With a mass exceeding several 104 M⊙ and a rich and dense population of massive stars, supermassive young star clusters
represent the most massive star-forming environment that is dominated by the feedback from massive stars and gravitational interactions
among stars.
Aims. In this paper we present the Extended Westerlund 1 and 2 Open Clusters Survey (EWOCS) project, which aims to investigate
the influence of the starburst environment on the formation of stars and planets, and on the evolution of both low and high mass stars.
The primary targets of this project are Westerlund 1 and 2, the closest supermassive star clusters to the Sun.
Methods. The project is based primarily on recent observations conducted with the Chandra and JWST observatories. Specifically,
the Chandra survey of Westerlund 1 consists of 36 new ACIS-I observations, nearly co-pointed, for a total exposure time of 1 Msec.
Additionally, we included 8 archival Chandra/ACIS-S observations. This paper presents the resulting catalog of X-ray sources within
and around Westerlund 1. Sources were detected by combining various existing methods, and photon extraction and source validation
were carried out using the ACIS-Extract software.
Results. The EWOCS X-ray catalog comprises 5963 validated sources out of the 9420 initially provided to ACIS-Extract, reaching a
photon flux threshold of approximately 2 × 10−8 photons cm−2
s
−1
. The X-ray sources exhibit a highly concentrated spatial distribution,
with 1075 sources located within the central 1 arcmin. We have successfully detected X-ray emissions from 126 out of the 166 known
massive stars of the cluster, and we have collected over 71 000 photons from the magnetar CXO J164710.20-455217.

Nucleophilic Addition of carbonyl compounds.pptx
Nucleophilic addition is the most important reaction of carbonyls. Not just aldehydes and ketones, but also carboxylic acid derivatives in general.
Carbonyls undergo addition reactions with a large range of nucleophiles.
Comparing the relative basicity of the nucleophile and the product is extremely helpful in determining how reversible the addition reaction is. Reactions with Grignards and hydrides are irreversible. Reactions with weak bases like halides and carboxylates generally don’t happen.
Electronic effects (inductive effects, electron donation) have a large impact on reactivity.
Large groups adjacent to the carbonyl will slow the rate of reaction.
Neutral nucleophiles can also add to carbonyls, although their additions are generally slower and more reversible. Acid catalysis is sometimes employed to increase the rate of addition.

Phenomics assisted breeding in crop improvement
As the population is increasing and will reach about 9 billion upto 2050. Also due to climate change, it is difficult to meet the food requirement of such a large population. Facing the challenges presented by resource shortages, climate
change, and increasing global population, crop yield and quality need to be improved in a sustainable way over the coming decades. Genetic improvement by breeding is the best way to increase crop productivity. With the rapid progression of functional
genomics, an increasing number of crop genomes have been sequenced and dozens of genes influencing key agronomic traits have been identified. However, current genome sequence information has not been adequately exploited for understanding
the complex characteristics of multiple gene, owing to a lack of crop phenotypic data. Efficient, automatic, and accurate technologies and platforms that can capture phenotypic data that can
be linked to genomics information for crop improvement at all growth stages have become as important as genotyping. Thus,
high-throughput phenotyping has become the major bottleneck restricting crop breeding. Plant phenomics has been defined as the high-throughput, accurate acquisition and analysis of multi-dimensional phenotypes
during crop growing stages at the organism level, including the cell, tissue, organ, individual plant, plot, and field levels. With the rapid development of novel sensors, imaging technology,
and analysis methods, numerous infrastructure platforms have been developed for phenotyping.

The use of Nauplii and metanauplii artemia in aquaculture (brine shrimp).pptx
Although Artemia has been known to man for centuries, its use as a food for the culture of larval organisms apparently began only in the 1930s, when several investigators found that it made an excellent food for newly hatched fish larvae (Litvinenko et al., 2023). As aquaculture developed in the 1960s and ‘70s, the use of Artemia also became more widespread, due both to its convenience and to its nutritional value for larval organisms (Arenas-Pardo et al., 2024). The fact that Artemia dormant cysts can be stored for long periods in cans, and then used as an off-the-shelf food requiring only 24 h of incubation makes them the most convenient, least labor-intensive, live food available for aquaculture (Sorgeloos & Roubach, 2021). The nutritional value of Artemia, especially for marine organisms, is not constant, but varies both geographically and temporally. During the last decade, however, both the causes of Artemia nutritional variability and methods to improve poorquality Artemia have been identified (Loufi et al., 2024).
Brine shrimp (Artemia spp.) are used in marine aquaculture worldwide. Annually, more than 2,000 metric tons of dry cysts are used for cultivation of fish, crustacean, and shellfish larva. Brine shrimp are important to aquaculture because newly hatched brine shrimp nauplii (larvae) provide a food source for many fish fry (Mozanzadeh et al., 2021). Culture and harvesting of brine shrimp eggs represents another aspect of the aquaculture industry. Nauplii and metanauplii of Artemia, commonly known as brine shrimp, play a crucial role in aquaculture due to their nutritional value and suitability as live feed for many aquatic species, particularly in larval stages (Sorgeloos & Roubach, 2021).
Deep Software Variability and Frictionless Reproducibility
Deep Software Variability and Frictionless ReproducibilityUniversity of Rennes, INSA Rennes, Inria/IRISA, CNRS
The ability to recreate computational results with minimal effort and actionable metrics provides a solid foundation for scientific research and software development. When people can replicate an analysis at the touch of a button using open-source software, open data, and methods to assess and compare proposals, it significantly eases verification of results, engagement with a diverse range of contributors, and progress. However, we have yet to fully achieve this; there are still many sociotechnical frictions.
Inspired by David Donoho's vision, this talk aims to revisit the three crucial pillars of frictionless reproducibility (data sharing, code sharing, and competitive challenges) with the perspective of deep software variability.
Our observation is that multiple layers — hardware, operating systems, third-party libraries, software versions, input data, compile-time options, and parameters — are subject to variability that exacerbates frictions but is also essential for achieving robust, generalizable results and fostering innovation. I will first review the literature, providing evidence of how the complex variability interactions across these layers affect qualitative and quantitative software properties, thereby complicating the reproduction and replication of scientific studies in various fields.
I will then present some software engineering and AI techniques that can support the strategic exploration of variability spaces. These include the use of abstractions and models (e.g., feature models), sampling strategies (e.g., uniform, random), cost-effective measurements (e.g., incremental build of software configurations), and dimensionality reduction methods (e.g., transfer learning, feature selection, software debloating).
I will finally argue that deep variability is both the problem and solution of frictionless reproducibility, calling the software science community to develop new methods and tools to manage variability and foster reproducibility in software systems.
