This document summarizes key concepts in ecosystem dynamics including the biosphere, lithosphere, hydrosphere, and atmosphere. It discusses biogeochemical cycles like the carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, and water cycles. Other topics covered include food webs, trophic levels, biomass pyramids, ecological niches, keystone species, influences on climate, surface features of the Earth, atmospheric gases, evidence of climate change, human influences, and ecosystem measurements like population estimates, distribution, abundance, and abiotic factors. Ecological succession and how ecosystems respond to change like fires in Australia are also summarized.
An ecosystem is composed of biotic and abiotic factors that interact with each other. The document defines an ecosystem as a biotope (physical environment) and biocenosis (living things) that interact. It discusses the key components of ecosystems, including producers, primary consumers, secondary consumers, decomposers, and trophic levels. Examples are provided of different ecosystem types (aquatic, wetland, forest), and the abiotic and biotic adaptations organisms have to survive within different ecosystems. Food webs and chains are used to illustrate the feeding relationships and energy/nutrient flow between organisms within an ecosystem.

This document discusses key components of ecosystems. Ecosystems contain producers, consumers, and interactions between living and nonliving elements. Examples of ecosystems include jungles, streams, oceans, rivers and forests. Living things within an ecosystem must compete for resources like water, sunlight and food. Ecosystems are dynamic and change over time, with some changes occurring naturally and others caused by human activity.
An ecosystem consists of three main components: 1) a habitat, 2) the living things within that habitat, and 3) the relationships between the living things and their habitat. There are two types of ecosystems - natural ecosystems that form from nature, such as temperate forests, jungles, and deserts, and man-made ecosystems like cities, crop fields, and pastures. Ecosystems can experience natural changes over long periods of time or man-made changes, both beneficial changes through conservation and reforestation or harmful changes like pollution and deforestation.
This document summarizes a small mammal observational survey conducted in Riverside Park and surrounding areas from winter to spring 2013. The survey route covered over 2 miles through different habitats within and around the park. The purpose was to record which mammal species reside in the area to inform the Urban Ecology Center and begin a record of first sightings. Common mammals observed included mice, voles, bats, squirrels, and more. The survey aimed to establish a long-term monitoring project to better understand urban wildlife in the park.
The difference between eastern & formosan subterranean termitesJeremy H Miller
The document compares and contrasts Eastern and Formosan subterranean termites. Formosan termites have lighter colored swarmers that emerge in the evenings in May and June, while Eastern termite swarmers are darker and emerge around noon from February to May. Formosan termites have larger colonies of over 1 million workers compared to 60,000 for Eastern termites. Formosan termites also construct carton nests from chewed wood and soil that allow the colony to survive without soil contact. Formosan termites pose a greater threat than Eastern termites.

The document provides information about different kingdoms of life including Animalia, Plantae, Fungi, Protista, Archaea, Eubacteria and Viruses. It includes fact sheets describing general characteristics, defining features, evolutionary advances and ecological importance for each kingdom. Examples are given for specific organisms from different kingdoms like the starfish for Animalia and the nitrifying bacteria for Eubacteria.
The document discusses redesigning a captive polar bear exhibit to prevent stereotypic behaviors and provide a positive experience for visitors. It outlines a framework for creating an enrichment plan, including goal setting, planning, implementation, documentation, evaluation and re-adjusting. A comparative study found that visible surroundings, larger pools, morning/afternoon feeding and social relationships impacted stereotypy. The proposed redesign includes larger enclosures, climbing structures, pools with islands/waterfalls, varied substrates, housing rotations and daily enrichment to stimulate the bears.
The document discusses how freshwater invertebrates, specifically mollusks or snails, make up a significant portion of Alabama's biodiversity as there are 180 mollusk species in the state, and notes that pollution of freshwater habitats could negatively impact these species by threatening the aquatic ecosystems they depend on for survival. It also provides context that mollusks are commonly found in aquatic environments throughout North America.
The document discusses species, communities, and ecosystems. It begins by defining what constitutes a species and discusses how the Galapagos tortoises from different islands display reproductive isolation and physical differences, indicating they are separate species. It then discusses the different methods of nutrition in organisms, including autotrophs and various types of heterotrophs. The document also discusses the components of communities and ecosystems, and presents an example of setting up a sealed mesocosm project to study sustainability over time.

This document contains information about different types of mollusks - bivalves, gastropods, and cephalopods. It includes details about their anatomical features such as whether they have a coelom or circulatory system. For each group, an interesting species is chosen - the northern quahog bivalve, green sea slug gastropod, and giant squid cephalopod. Fact sheets are provided for each organism detailing their characteristics, habitat, lifecycle, relationships and more. References are cited at the end.
1) The document is about the phylum Echinodermata, which includes starfish, sea urchins, sea biscuits, and other species.
2) Echinodermata have about 7,000 living species and 13,000 extinct species. They are radially symmetrical as adults but bilaterally symmetrical as larvae.
3) Echinoderms have a unique water vascular system for locomotion, respiration, and feeding. They also have a simple circulatory, excretory, and decentralized nervous system.
The Box jellyfish lives in northern Australia and New Guinea, found both deep in the ocean and near coral reefs. It is a skilled hunter with 24 eyes that help it hunt, though only 16 can detect light. Most have a clear body with white stingers, and a box-shaped bell rather than a dome. Their conservation status is unknown but their population is likely in the millions. They feed on small fish and zooplankton. Reproduction occurs when male jellyfish release sperm into the water that fertilizes eggs on the female's tentacles. Box jellyfish are predators in their ecosystem and few predators can withstand their venom.

(1) Sponges are simple aquatic animals that live in water and have pores that intake and output water. They come in different shapes and have skeletons made of either silicon or lime. Sponges reproduce both sexually and asexually.
(2) Cnidarians are a phylum of aquatic animals that include jellyfish, corals, sea anemones and hydra. They have radial symmetry and live in bodies of water. Cnidarians reproduce both sexually, going through polyp and medusa stages, and asexually by splitting their bodies. They feed through passive predation using stinging cells.
Our planet’s diverse, thriving ecosystems may seem like permanent fixtures, but they’re actually vulnerable to collapse. Jungles can become deserts, and reefs can become lifeless rocks. What makes one ecosystem strong and another weak in the face of change? Kim Preshoff details why the answer, to a large extent, is biodiversity.
The document is SOFT's 2014 annual report. It summarizes SOFT's mission to fund sea otter research, conservation, and education. In 2014, SOFT provided its first funding grants, recycled over 6,000 products to generate funds, participated in clean-up events, and visited sea otter facilities like Minnesota Zoo and NY Aquarium. SOFT thanked donors and partners for their support and announced plans to issue its first round of funding grants in early 2016.
Observations on the Life History of the Brazilian Frog Oocormus micropsMuseu-Bertha
1) The author observed the development of a clutch of 30 eggs of the frog Oocormus microps from the time they were discovered until well after metamorphosis.
2) The non-aquatic tadpoles hatched with a large yolk sac and direct developing limbs, indicating terrestrial development. The entire larval stage lasted only 17 days.
3) Characteristics like eye coloration and lack of an external ear confirmed the eggs belonged to O. microps. The tadpoles remained in the nest where the eggs were laid.
This document discusses organic-walled microfossils called dinoflagellates. It describes dinoflagellates as single-celled aquatic organisms with two flagella that cause them to rotate as they move. Dinoflagellates can be autotrophic or heterotrophic and some are bioluminescent. Their fossilized cysts are useful for indicating past environments. The document outlines the classification, morphology, ecology, harmful blooms, and applications of dinoflagellates.
The document outlines a lesson plan for high school students that examines the evolution of whales from land mammals to ocean dwellers through analyzing fossils and constructing a food web. Students will learn about key whale ancestors like Ambulocetus and Basilosaurus that show transitional traits between land and sea mammals. The lesson aims to demonstrate how natural selection led to anatomical adaptations in whales that allowed them to thrive in the ocean environment.
Mollusca are a large phylum of soft-bodied invertebrates found in both marine and freshwater environments. There are over 100,000 species including clams, snails, slugs, octopuses, and squids. They are characterized by a mantle cavity and many secrete hard shells from the mantle for protection. Some key mollusk representatives discussed are bivalves like clams which live in coastal waters and filter feed, octopuses which are found in temperate oceans worldwide and have eight arms and three hearts, and snails which use a rasping tongue called a radula to eat and come in many forms from land to sea.
Mollusks are a diverse phylum of invertebrates that live in both aquatic and terrestrial habitats. They have a hard outer shell, a mantle that secretes the shell, and a radula for feeding. The three main classes of mollusks are gastropods, bivalves, and cephalopods. Gastropods crawl on a foot, bivalves are sessile filter feeders attached to surfaces, and cephalopods are active carnivorous swimmers with arms and tentacles.
This document discusses the characteristics of scallops and oysters, which are bivalve mollusks. It describes their general structure of having two shells called valves connected by a hinge, and powerful muscles that open and close the valves. It also outlines some of their key attributes like filter feeding, external fertilization, and jet propulsion in scallops. The document provides background on the class Bivalvia and lists other organisms that are part of this class.
This document describes an osteichthye fish named Zanclus. It discusses Zanclus' bony structure, preferred living conditions, daily activities, evolutionary ancestry, and special features that are unique to osteichthyes like their scales, taste buds, and backbones. The document also provides pictures of different osteichthye fish and annotated bibliographies on bony fish classification.
- The author went scuba diving and observed octopuses in their natural habitat, which fascinated them and prompted an assignment on the morality of consuming octopuses.
- Through their observations, the author realized octopuses have highly intelligent and complex capabilities, contrary to common misconceptions that view them as unintelligent or harmless.
- The author has shifted their view to supporting octopuses due to their intelligence and sentience, rather than viewing them as mere food.
