New food chainpp
A food chain shows how energy passes between organisms in an ecosystem. Plants are primary producers that create their own food through photosynthesis. Herbivores eat plants as primary consumers. Carnivores eat herbivores or other carnivores. Omnivores eat both plants and animals. Detritivores break down dead organic matter. A food web shows the complex network of interconnected food chains within an ecosystem.
Ayurveda Meets Mewari Cuisine
In this deliciously edifying session, Prof Mahesh Dixit discussed and demonstrateed the salient health concepts in the local cuisine and the critical roles of medicinal herbs and local seasonal produce.
Biodiversity Qualities of Mewari Cuisine
An interesting review of the principle biodiversity concerns in the Mewar district of Rajasthan. Is the landscape only here for us to eat? What is the impact of agricultural practice?

WHAT ARE THE DECOMPOSERS IN RAIN FORESTS? Decomposers are an important link
in the rain forest food chain. They. play a key role in the cycle of life and death. Decomposers
break down dead plant and animal matter. This frees up nutrients for the beginning of the chain.
Then rain forest producers consume these nutrients, and the food chain begins again. This
process is a bit tike recycling. When we put out glass bottles to be recycled, the glass can be used
again to make other things. When decomposers break down matter, it can be used again. This is
especially important in the rain forest, where the soit is poor. Plants take in nutrients directly
from decaying matter. Without decomposers, the waste would build up and up and up. Soon the
entire rain forest would be filled with dead matter. In this food dain, a decomposer (bacteria)
breals down the bedy of a secondary consumer (jaguar). 24 TOP RAIN FOREST CONSUMERS
The rain forest food web contains many primate species. Primates are a group of mammals that
share certain features. They have hands that grasp and well-formed brains. Monkeys and gorillas
are primates. So are humans. Some primates are primary consumers, and some are secondary
consumers. Both chimpanzees and mandrills are secondary consumers. Chimpanzees are humans
closest relatives. Like humans, they are omnivores. They eat fruits and vegetables and some
animals, including insects, monkeys, and pigs. Chimps can use tools. They poke long sticks and
branches into termites' nests to get at the tasty snack. Shy monkey-tike mandrills are difficult to
spot in the wild. They live in tropical African rain forests. Mandrills eat reptiles and insects as
well is roots and fruits. They live in groups, and the males have colorful faces..
Natural enemies2
The document discusses natural pest control practices for farmers. It covers the ecology of pests and diseases, including insect life cycles and population factors. It also discusses promoting natural enemies of pests, such as predators, parasitoids and pathogens. Biological control methods are explained, such as releasing natural enemies to control pest populations in a sustainable manner without the use of pesticides.
Food chains & Food webs
The document discusses food chains and food webs. It defines key terms like ecosystem, habitat, population, community, food chain, and food web. It provides examples of food chains like grass-springbok-cheetah. A food web shows how different food chains are interlinked, with herbivores serving as food for various predators, carnivores and omnivores. Decomposers play an important role in food webs by recycling nutrients from dead plants and animals back into the soil.
Transcript Vandana Shiva 21 feb 2014 Food Otherwise confer.docx
Vandana Shiva criticizes industrial agriculture and argues for an alternative food system. She notes that pesticides were originally designed for war and chemical fertilizers are made from explosive materials. These tools of industrial agriculture have led to the destruction of 75% of biodiversity, living soils, and ecological systems. Monocultures require large amounts of water and chemicals, polluting water sources and creating dead zones. Shiva argues that industrial agriculture is unsustainable and will lead to the extinction of the human species if allowed to continue destroying the planet's living systems. An alternative is needed that supports small farms, agroecology, and biodiversity to ensure long term food security and environmental protection.

Protected areas
India has high biodiversity due to its varied climate and habitats. It is home to 10% of the world's species, including 7.31% of global fauna, despite having only 2.4% of the world's land area. To protect this biodiversity, India has established a network of 668 protected areas covering over 1.61 million square kilometers, or 4.9% of India's total area. These protected areas include 102 national parks, 515 wildlife sanctuaries, 47 conservation reserves, and 4 community reserves.
Amphibians: What do we know about them?
Amphibians are vertebrates that can live both on land and in water. They go through a metamorphosis from an aquatic tadpole stage to a terrestrial adult stage. Amphibians are important for ecosystems and human welfare. They indicate environmental changes and provide benefits like controlling pests, serving as traditional medicine, and acting as biological indicators. India is home to 309 amphibian species across 14 families and 55 genera. Ongoing research in India includes studies on reproduction, taxonomy, ecology, and impacts of skin extracts. Conservation efforts aim to protect amphibian habitats and diversity in the Western Ghats.

Based on the information provided, Fusarium oxysporum belongs to the superkingdom Eukaryota, kingdom Fungi, phylum Ascomycota, class Sordariomycetes, and order Hypocreales. It is an anamorphic (asexual) fungus that can be either pathogenic or non-pathogenic to plants. It is a chemoorganotroph that obtains nutrients from organic matter as a saprophyte. It has a global distribution and optimum infection temperature of 30°C or above.
Economic zoology
Economic zoology deals with applying zoological knowledge to benefit humanity, such as cultivating animals for food and controlling pests. It covers topics like beneficial and harmful insects, crop pests, apiculture, sericulture, lac culture, aquaculture, venomous animals, and livestock/vector-borne diseases. Insects provide an estimated $57 billion in ecological services annually to justify greater conservation investments. Beneficial insects include pollinators that transfer crop pollen, valued at $3 billion in the US alone, and predators that control pests. Parasitic wasps, flies, and other insects also help limit pest populations. Productive insects include silkworms, honey bees, and lac

This document summarizes an article from the International Journal of Electronics and Communication Engineering & Technology about biomimetic robots inspired by ants. It discusses how ants exhibit behaviors like discovering and exploiting food sources, and how robot teams could emulate these behaviors. The document then describes the key behaviors of ants, including foraging, recruiting, following pheromone trails, and retiring when unsuccessful. It proposes a structure for a team of three autonomous robots that would perform functions mimicking ants, including foraging randomly, exploiting food sources when found, recruiting other robots via communication, following recruited robots, and retiring when no food is found. Flow charts depict the process the ant-inspired robots would follow to search for and collect "food" targets.

Human farmers have become dependent on honey bees as natural pollinators have been wiped out by pesticides. With declining bee populations, farmers are turning to "human pollinators" who manually transfer pollen between crops. However, this is an inefficient solution compared to the millions of plants bees can pollinate daily. The overuse of pesticides is a major threat to bee populations, as certain pesticides can kill bees through fumigation, ingestion, or direct contact in very small amounts. Without pollination, both food crops and the entire ecosystem are at risk of collapse.
4.2 To Eat Or What To Eat
This document provides information about food webs and energy transfer between organisms in an ecosystem. It discusses producers like plants that obtain energy from the sun or chemicals and consumers that obtain energy from eating other organisms. Producers and consumers are organized into trophic levels within food chains and food webs. Food webs illustrate the complex interconnected feeding relationships between multiple species in an ecosystem. Disruptions to lower trophic levels can impact higher levels and introducing non-native species could disturb the entire food web. The document includes an example food web for the Kamloops Bunchgrass plant community.

The document summarizes a study that examined insect biodiversity in relation to plant diversity and soil factors in a flower garden in Philadelphia, PA. Three pitfall traps were used to sample insects at the garden sites over night. A variety of plant and insect species were found across the sites, including bees, spiders, ants, grasshoppers, and others. Abiotic site factors like soil pH, wind speed, and humidity were also measured and found to be consistent across the sites. Photographs were included of some of the plant and insect species identified.
The importance of insects the importance of insects in
Insects play several important ecological, economic, and nutritional roles:
1) Ecologically, insects act as decomposers that break down organic material and enrich soil nutrients, and also serve as important pollinators and seed dispersers.
2) Economically, insects produce useful substances like honey, wax, silk and are used as fishing bait.
3) Insects are also a source of food for humans in some areas and provide protein, vitamins and minerals.
Birds and farmers1
Farmers and birds have a symbiotic relationship where they benefit each other. Birds help farmers by spreading seeds, pollinating flowers, and eating harmful insects and their eggs. Some insects help control other insects that destroy crops. However, overuse of pesticides harms these beneficial insects and birds. If farmers protect birds and do not use pesticides, the birds will continue to naturally control pests while the farmers have healthy crops. Conservation efforts are needed to protect birds that help both farms and the overall environment.
Types of organisms
There are three main types of organisms: producers, consumers, and decomposers. Producers like plants can produce their own food through photosynthesis. Consumers like animals obtain energy by consuming other organisms. Decomposers such as bacteria and fungi break down dead organic matter and cycle nutrients in the environment. Together these three groups participate in complex food webs that sustain life.
